Most hilariously bad song ever?

Agreed. What makes this song hilariously bad? :confused:

I’m surprised that Achy Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cyrus hasn’t been mentioned yet. I still think it’s one of the worst songs ever written.

I think it’s more so the video. Did you see the “turn around brighteyes” part? Friggin’ nightmares for a week from that.

As far as best of the worst goes, I think I have to give it to that “Christmas Shoes” mess. It was like some long ass Sears commercial for Jesus Shoes. I made myself sit through the whole thing too; most masochistic five minutes of my life I think. I laughed, I cried, I gave myself a concussion with my own damn shoe.

Worst or the worst- that blasphemous Comfortably Numb cover. Seriously, why the fuck was that? That one just pissed me off.

To be fair, “Dead Skunk” isn’t unintentionally hilarious. It’s meant to be a light, comedic, novelty song, so I’d say it doesn’t fit the intent of the O.P.

I’d say the same thing about “My Ding-A-Ling.” Chuck obviously wasn’t singing about a children’s toy. It could almost be called a “party record” that received tons of airplay. Again, written intentionally for comedic value.

I think that question has been answered: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoH9zP_n_g0&feature=related

I see your cheesy Billy song and raise you another:
“Which Way You Going, Billy?”

Ugh, it is to die.

And also “Warrior” by Scandal deserves an honorable mention.

Ditto “Fish Heads”.

-FrL-

I read the whole thread before posting because I just knew someone would mention this before me.

Is this the part where I admit that I owned this song on cassette? I love this song.

I don’t even have to click the link. One mention of the title and I’m already shootin’ at the walls of heartache, bang bang. :frowning:

Trivia: Patty Smyth (not to be confused with Patti Smith), lead singer of Scandal, has been married to John McEnroe for years.

I’d like to nominate this because well screamo is just…that…funny.

OMG!!! We’re, like, gonna fucking die!!111eleventyone screams incoherently

Know what happens to*hot *liquid in a cup when you suddenly laugh out your nose as you are tentatively sipping so as not to burn your tongue? Well, at least I didn’t snort it which would have happened just a split second later.

I don’t have to click the link either and I mentally made the gun with my fingers when I got to the “bang, bang” part.

Oh no. You’re referring to “Total Eclipse of the Heart” by Bonnie Tyler. I was defending “Queen of Hearts” by Juice Newton.

In reference to Ms. Tyler’s song, though, you are spot on. :wink:

One step further on the “One Night in Bangkok” correction from earlier: Not only is it “about a Chess Tournament”, but while the hit song was made popular as a single by Murray Head, it’s actually FROM A MUSICAL called Chess (by some of the guys from ABBA and, believe it or not, Tim Rice) So the lyrics you’re making fun of, there, make a hell of a lot of sense, actually, given the context. :slight_smile:

Last night on American Idol, someone auditioned with the song “Before He Cheats”, which is the one by Carrie Underwood where she tears up the cheating guy’s car, and I realized I’d rather hear Muskrat Love. :frowning:

I think we may have a winner.

When you take a sip you buzz like a hornet
Billy Shakespeare wrote a whole bunch of sonnets

Someone in my immediate family not only has Donna Fargo’s The Happiest Girl In The Whole U.S.A. on their Ipod, but has given it five stars.

Not that it’s all that horrible a song*, but it’s a notorious producer of near-fatal earworms, as bad as I Never Promised You A Rose Garden.
*well, actually it is.

If the criterion for “bad” is nonsense syllables, how about “Oo, Eee, Oo-ah-ah, Ting, Tang, Walla walla bing bang…”?

Or “Sha nah nah nah, Sha nah nah nah nah nah…”

Or “Sing a boop boop aboopa lopa lum bam boom”

Or “Doo bee Doo Bee Doo…”

Or “Yip yip yip yip yip yip yip yip , Mum mum mum mum mum mum, Get a Job”

Hubba-hubba, zoot-zoot? Ebba, hooba, zut-zut, a nom-nom?
Or…

“I’m the Scat Man! Squee-ba-ba-bada-babo.” (Of course, I can never listen to this song the same way ever again, post-internets)

Whelp, I have a new earworm.

Hoofeffa, hoofeffa, ha ha hoofeffa…

Plus, if you’ve never heard the instrumental intro to the full version, well…
