Worst song ever?

Is that the person who did some song about melting lolly pops? Or click clock? I heard something like that a few weeks ago on the radio and it was the worst thing I have ever heard. My vote goes to that song, whatever it was.
 
Anything Colbie Calliat. She is honestly absolutely terrible and has the song writing talents of a 3 year old farm animal.

Also there is a song that I'm not quite sure of the name but I think its called "Brown Skin" by India Arie that is so terrible that years ago, I was on a bus in Kuwait and that song came on and everyone begged the driver to change it.

Omg I heard one of those too! It was seriously horrible as well! There is no talent in the music industry anymore. Actually, let me rephrase that:

There is no talent in the mainstream music industry anymore.
 
Should I Stay or Should I Go by The Clash. I hate that song.

Some of Michael's songs are the pure product of love for every living thing on this earth, but you and many others would overlook that just as you would judge and persecute him for such allegations that were so easily propagated by those that simply wanted tabloids to sell.

Stop pretending there's something wrong with someone because they don't like a particular artist. I can't stand most of Michael's music either, and it has nothing to do with the man's lifestyle. Silliness and warm fuzzy feelings aren't the sole ingredients of good music. 🙂

Most UnWanted Music in America

Two artists, Komar and Melamid, did a series of paintings based on surveys of what people wanted and didn't want in their paintings. They came back around and did the same thing for music. Here's what we don't like :

"The most unwanted music is over 25 minutes long, veers wildly between loud and quiet sections, between fast and slow tempos, and features timbres of extremely high and low pitch, with each dichotomy presented in abrupt transition. The most unwanted orchestra was determined to be large, and features the accordion and bagpipe (which tie at 13% as the most unwanted instrument), banjo, flute, tuba, harp, organ, synthesizer (the only instrument that appears in both the most wanted and most unwanted ensembles). An operatic soprano raps and sings atonal music, advertising jingles, political slogans, and “elevator” music, and a children's choir sings jingles and holiday songs. The most unwanted subjects for lyrics are cowboys and holidays, and the most unwanted listening circumstances are involuntary exposure to commericals and elevator music. Therefore, it can be shown that if there is no covariance—someone who dislikes bagpipes is as likely to hate elevator music as someone who despises the organ, for example—fewer than 200 individuals of the world's total population would enjoy this piece.

Ke$ha's "big hit" is called Tik Tok. Yes, it's that over-AutoTuned "brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack" song. I somewhat dig the music; the vocals... well, how about no.

If you see an ad for a new artist called Dev, she's pretty much the next Ke$ha. Just a friendly warning.

I can't believe people have already forgotten about this infamous duo.
 
Anything by Justin Bieber. I don't know what it is, but he drives me a wee bit nucking futs.

And, yes, I know that tweeners everywhere would unite and hunt me down for those mere thoughts.

It's the "Song That Doesn't End" of the 90s. 🙂

Hands down the worst song ever released.

I'm not sure about hands down, but I agree that it does a good job of mutilating the "Menomena" tune.

EDIT: Just thought of another annoying one.
This next one's original version was a rather harmless children's song. Set it to a "happy hardcore" beat, though, and you'll be convinced that at one point the Wiggles were trippin' balls.
 
I was just perusing some "Worst Songs Ever" lists elsewhere on the net, and came across one that I'd forgotten about. I suspect my mind deliberately repressed it, it's that bad.

I present to you: Kevin Federline's "PopoZão".

What does Surely have to do with this? 🙂

Any rap song, any hip hop song, any song heavier than the old Metallica stuff, and Mmmmmmbop are tied for Worst Songs Ever.

Eminem is quite good, actually, so I wouldn't say all is bad, but I know what you mean. If you like to dance, hip hop is good.

Wow, I didn't think that this would hit such a nerve.

The song you posted is yet another reason why I don't care for Michael Jackson; the utter cheesiness of some of his music. I'd rather punch an LOL cat in the face than listen to cheesy crap like this.

Michael Jackson has a lot of great songs. Whatevs. However, I grew up in the era where he was big. I ignore all the personal things about him, since you can't know what is true and what isn't.

Texas Fight, worst song EVAR! 😀

Close second, "Let 'em in," by Paul McCartney.

Anything by Justin Bieber. How much talent does it take to sing "baby, baby, baby" over and over????

For those unfamiliar with this song part of the chorus is this:

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down

I DJ'ed a sorority party in the 90's when this song first hit and was at the height of it's popularity. I was told that I had to play this song and when I did the sorority girls flooded the dance floor singing along with their own version.

I get knocked up
But I got out again
With all the cute boys in town

Sometimes I really miss college! 😀
 
Boy it's hard to disagree with most of what has already been posted. Maybe the thread should be worst SONGS ever. For my vote, it's "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen.

I was (back) in college when this song came out. It was impossible to go to any bar/nightclub/party without hearing this song, probably multiple times. I'll probably be old and senile and still have this song stuck in my head.

Shamefully, I have to admit this song is on my big iPod somewhere.
