Mac also gets bonus points for “Rock and Roll (I Gave You The Best Years Of My Life)”
I was so busy in the backroom
Writing love songs to you
While you were changing your direction
And you never even knew
That I was always just one step behind you."
In other words
I wrote a lot of sludge
that never made the charts
So screw you rock n’ roll
I’m really just a country boy
but I can’t get any country hits either
I used to be mean to my woman,
I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved.
Man I was mean, but I’m changing my scene
and I’m doing the best that I can.
Really? Working on not beating your wife so much? Good job there, sport.
… I just had to post here something…
Check out JoBoxer’s BoxerBeat at Top of the Pops or the video here
…best song ever… 
My nomination: “Hello Again” by Lionel Richie.
The lyrics are bad enough:
Hello!?
Is it me you’re looking for??
I can see it in your eyes, I can see it in your smile.
This from a guy who’s probably never even talked to “his” lady:
Tell me how to win your heart, for I haven’t got a clue.
But let me start by saying…
I love you.
Yeah, right pal. You’re a complete non-entity to her, and yet you have the hubris - nay, the sheer douchebaggery - to assume that she’s just as weirdly obsessed with you as you are with her? Please.:rolleyes:
And then, the video takes this to a whole new level of douchiness. For those of you unaware of this cinematic masterpiece, Mr. Richie portrays himself as a teacher fawning over one of his students - a blind one at that. Yee-gads.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I rest my case.
There was that viddy some years back… believe it was self-made and promoted, the dude looked like a roadie for REO Speedwagon and the song was about how bitchen America was. Anyone remember? That was pretty douche-a-licious.
German examples of db’s:
…have fun, just don’t forget to turn your brain off
I (and I assume everyone in the grunge thread) had forgotten about Bush until 90’s at Noon on the local radio played Glycerine today. Enjoyable enough to listen to as long as you pay no attention to the lyrics of anything Gavin Rossdale has ever sang.
That one and maybe Machinehead from roughly the same era strike me as a bit douchy.
Okay, you asked for it. Bet you can’t watch the whole song. It’s that bad.
“Apache” performed by a 70’s Danish person.
doughbag. all were weird and hilarious, but stefan raab is the d-bag winner. why was the announcer shrieking so?
That’s…something, all right. I wouldn’t use the adjective “douchy” but to each his own:)
98 Degrees’ “The Hardest Thing” is about a guy who cheated on his girlfriend with a girl who loves him and he loves in return, but he’s dumping her to go back to his girlfriend, even though he doesn’t love her, because “she deserves better.”
Dude should just do his girlfriend a favor and leave her and take up with the girl he cheated on her with.
I agree, and should have said so. But I just felt like sharing. Besides, I can’t think of what adjective would cover it.
That’s a damn good one. It reminded me of this turd
Oh god, LFO - they really were pretty douchey.
Prepare to have your douche-ometer GO OFF THE FUCKING SCALE MAN!
You’re crazy, that video is awesome!
Ah, I came in to post that one.
Awesome. Although, at the time this video was new, I was recovering from wisdom teeth removal, and painkillers have a way of making douchy songs palatable.
a) What’s that crap song by Uncle Cracker? The one saying it’s ok to cheat as long as nobody knows? C’mon! b) Also, that song by Heart really, really, really makes me barf. “All I want to do is make love to you.” More specifically, it basically says I just want a kid - no father, no husband, no ties, no obligations…
My two nominations:
Jermaine Stewart’s “We don’t have to take our clothes off to have a good time” (which went against every pubescent urge I had in my youth.)
Deep Blue Something’s "“Breakfast at Tiffany’s” (if “kinda” liking a movie from days gone by is the only common ground one can find for potential reconciliation of a fledgling relationship, one is doomed)
