MayorBob: I Hate That Song!

Wed, 16 May 2007 17:18:28 EST

The only song that I can't get out of my head (and not in a good way) is that godawful song they use for the commercial for the Ford Edge. When the singer ends the song with the word "Edge" it's like he's trying to pass a kidney stone the size of a w

OK, I have to confess that the first Enya album makes me happy. Celtic purists probably can't stand it, and some of the keyboards are a bit cheesy . . but the vocal effects are nice when you can't understand what's being sung. (Watermark

I knew a couple guys in college who'd played rhythm section in high school jazz (bass and drums), and both of them loathed "The Lion Sleeps Tonight." As one of them put it, "it's every male jazz vocalists jack-off song in high school", and it

It's worth noting that Deep Blue Something's original name was Leper Messiah. They changed it because they found the name attracted meta

To this day I can't stand to hear the entertainer. Growing up, my mom was a piano teacher. For a period or 3 or 4 years (it seemed like an eternity), every student that she taught would sooner or later show up to their less

Even decent songs by groups like Abba are best heard sparingly-- "Dancing Queen" is fine once or twice a year, but any more and that great studio production sounds a bit . . hollow, lifeless even.

I know exactly what you're saying. In fact I m

This thread is probably one of the few times on TnT where we'll have actual justification for multiple uses of the "obnoxious" tag. Perhaps a rating of 1,obnoxious to 5,obnoxious for whoever can find the most horrible, crazy, insane song and post the lyric

Herman's Hermits "Henry the Eighth" would surely have rated this list even 15 years ago-- sad to think that there's been so much crap released since then that it's been driven from the collective pop memory.

That has to be one

Y'know, I don't really hate either of those songs; IMO, they were attempts to infect listeners with a "soft" political message, hoping that a few listeners here and there would think of things they might otherwise not. Why not? The band

Deep Purple's "Perfect Strangers" may be the worst album ever recorded. It provides examples of everything that was bad about rock in the eighties.

I was in Jr. High during the "K-tel Years"...we all lusted after them. Not that they didn't suck. Remember, this was back in the early 70s when lust meant something.

Those of a certain age remember K-Tel Collections. Which were awful, but easily avoidable, unlike The TV ads for the K-Tel albums, which were inescapable and featured snippet after snippet of all the agrivating, awful songs on the album, seguing into each

Personally, I have always liked the song "MacArthur Park". A song which conveys profound anguish at the destruction of a cake, as if this were the most horrible tragedy in the history of the human race, is quite surrealistic.
