Terrible songs that never deserved to be hits

“When you’re in love with a beautiful woman, it’s hard…”

Um…Alex, I’ll take Subversive Seventies Lyrics for $500, please…

(ooh it’s hard, you know it gets so hard!)

Much as I love ABBA, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do NOT like that one song.

No hard feelings
Between you and me.
If we [del]get naked[/del] can’t make it
But just want and see.

If the Beatles were around today, they’d be 70yo men playing this song and grossing a half-billion per concert tour.

Killing two birds with a stone:

“You take My Breath Away” is sorta a “homonym” diss:

ergo Rex Smith and Berlin.

(that was tidy!)
*And just to ease the pain - don’t worry - LOTS of Tom Cruise in the second vid)

This is the worst. Ever.

Maudlin teenage fantasy…oh, I loved her sooo much, I let her die. Wtf?

I can’t believe I’m being forced to defend “Patches,” but no. It’s a completely different maudlin teenage fantasy. He’s counted on to support his family after his father dies.

Come, now, tell us how you really feel! :smiley:

“Treacley” - I have an extensive vocabulary, but I had to Google that word. LoL

That awful Bobby McGee song by that awful Janis Joplin singer. One song that will never fail to get the radio station changed or flat out radio turned off.

The only time I can stand Abba is in that “zombie” episode of Community.

Moy brain’urts.

Well, because.

This is the worst. Ever.

Amazing that the same guy gave us “Strokin’”.

Will probably get flamed for this but I found Carly Simon singing the theme from “The Spy Who Loved Me” tiresome. Especially goin ba-by you’re, the best X infinity - sounds kinda dreary to me. Some of the notes she holds seem…forced?..can’t quite put my finger on it.
It’s possible I could be biased, here, by her haranguing “Aniticipation”.

ETA - or wait, I think I mean “You’re So Vain”.

This is the worst. Ever.

I think you’re confusing this with Dickey Lee’s Patches.

Playing in the background yesterday at the urine drug test lab (don’t ask) was the Dave Loggins song “Please Come To Boston”, which is all about this guy who’s (apparently) trying to make it in the music biz and wants his girlfriend to come out and live with him in a variety of cool places, but she’s having none of it.

““There ain’t no gold and there ain’t nobody like me””

Yeah, go back to Tennessee and live in extreme poverty with a woman who flunked 8th grade English class. Sounds like a plan. :smack:

Well, it might be. How hot is she? :stuck_out_tongue:

Currently beleaguered right now by the “do-do-do-do-do-do, do, do-do-do, do” from America’s “Magic”.

Help.

:frowning:

I picture her resembling the southern belle in this song:

*"Well she ain’t that good lookin’
But I ain’t that smart
That old woman
Done stole my heart
Well, we ain’t got much
Back a-here in these hills
'Bout all we can afford
Is a few cheap thrills

So, put yer teeth up on the windowsill
Tell the neighbors to let us be
Oh can’t they see that we’re in love
That we’re in love . we’re in love"*

I can taste a loogie in the back of my throat every time she says “McGee”. :frowning:

To highlight the grossness (that I’m already apologizing for) of this next Abomination Against the Universe, I’m cueing it at the exact point of said grossness, not only sonically, but also visually.
I’m also apologizing in advance for totally withholding what this pile of crap is.

You’ve been warned…Really - this is fucking harsh…

This was a hit in '75, and put Moog Synthesizers, everywhere, to shame:

Rockford Files theme

Great answering machine recording! If the show was like that, I would’ve watched every episode.
