Not the first time I’ve laughed at that video. Douchebags singing. Am I counting the members right at three? This one is worse: [I Wanna Love You Tender](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPnGPIMUnus) There’s always [Sarah Brightman losing her heart to a Starship Trooper](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wwilCs4Jqg) or [Bonnie Tyler](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=840B27zYfOk). ---

That Bonnie Tyler video is a masterpiece. I never watch it without laughing my ass off… and _ninjas_! ---

I want to believe that’s actually David Cross from some unreleased comedy show circa 1988, but I know it ain’t. Oh, and that B4-4 thing is just the website “Hot Chicks With Douchebags” come to life. There are a lot of orange douchebags out there. ---

You called? I think the video for [Licky Licky](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_VHg6QjBck) by Crispy is one of the worst produced I’ve ever seen. Valete, Vox Imperatoris ---

Man, talk about a bad flashback. It’s pretty embarassing that B4-4 was the best Canada could come up with to cash in on the late-90’s boy band phenomenon. Though they’re still one notch above the other cheesetastic bands Canadian dance music produced during that era: [Love Inc](http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=N_zLBsRYD8w) [Prozzak](http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=szk2xYIVKrQ) [The Boomtang Boys](http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=nQtfC2OrHM0) [Len](http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=MwtTOxouD5Q) [Bran Van 3000](http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ9KfKx8PmM) Aren’t you sorry you brought this up now? 🙂 As a fun side note: Like the vast majority of washed up former boy banders, the twin Oompa Loompas from B4-4 have now found a new career in adult contemporary as [RyanDan](http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=dCjpDqceQYA) (they’re not as orange, but they’re just as cheesy). ---

No!!! I’d forgotten about those bands. My cousin was in love with B4-4…she even went to one of their concerts. Now I’ll forget about them by next week but for now I have to live with the memory of how awful they were. ---

> [@Hal\_Briston](#): > > No listing of bad videos would every be complete without the horrorshow that is [Sondra Prill](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZFrmFhXkr0). Ok, wtf is this? Can anyone explain it? I remember this song, but not this horror-show karaoke banshee (and is that a speech impediment going on, or what?). ---

I discovered this [absolute atrocity](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IO2oayC54dg&feature=related) while watching all these other atrocities. I love the ones that totally take themselves seriously with no conception of their level of suck. ---

Wow you have just posted a summary of any luncg hour I spent as a High School Student. I didn’t remember most of those songs, and the licky lichy song is completely new to me. Please, for the love of my childhood, post more of those songs, and I promise not to mock what teens are listening to now, even thiough the emo and rap music is such a miseravle form of music htat it almost demands riducule. Unless you are one of those god awfule baby boomers, or gen Y, actually, I cannot fau;t gen Y who gave me metal 0 which I like, but I will mock the beetles or whatever, unless you post me more bad music which reminds me or my childhood@@ Thank you for these tuines!!! ---

> [@Anaamika](#): > > Come [_on_](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbGkxcY7YFU). I saw that video at a party where the host had a small son. Several of us were sitting around the computer, tooling around, with this four year old boy looking on, and one of my friends - who is flaming and often inappropriate - decided he had to show us “this awesome video!”. I asked him if it would be okay for kids, and he looked at me blankly and said, “It’s on YouTube!” Because if it’s on YouTube, it’s child-friendly. Apparently. My vote goes to [this incredibly homoerotic Take That video.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-sI-3B2bMI) (Americans may not be aware of Take That, but they’re popular enough in Europe that my English textbook in Bulgaria had references to them in the texts that my kids read.)
