Re: The worst song....

ANYTHING called RAP or Hip-Hop. Everytime I hear Hip-Hop makes me think of the Peter Cottontail song; both are trite shit, so I suppose the thoughts each conjures up are fitting.

Hmmm...I was hoping to avoid that in this thread. Just throwing out a question about what song you may have heard that makes you ill, especially from an artist that should know better. I did like the McCartney ones vax...

On the main page I read about a decline in "Rap and Hip-Hop sales"...then reading further, I noticed that R and B is lumped into that category. That is not only inaccurate, but kind of intenionally misleading.

Anyway, Peter Cottontail may be bad, but the Peter Rabbit theme (the Beatrix Potter) story is insanely wretched....

People often wonder why I loathe endless september and the demise of the internet. Bandwidth wasted on such awful stupidity should be punishable by death... a death by drowning under all of the AO(hel)L floppies ever produced.

Re: The worst song....

I agree Roger what a horrid little tune... Let's all sing till we puke on a white habit, everybody...

Dominique, nique, nique s'en allait tout simplement
Routier pauvre et chantant
En tous chemins, en tous lieux, il ne parle que du bon Dieu

ONE MORE TIME IN ENGLISH...

Dominique, nique, nique, over the land he plods
And sings a little song
Never asking for reward
He just talks about the Lord
He just talks about the..... blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuugggggghhhhhaaaaaaa chunks.

UGGH!!!

Re: The worst song....

I also find the song Disco Duck to be one of the worst musical[?] endevors ever.
Oddly enough it comes in as a tie with the Macarena song, for the all around absolute waste of time. money energy and anything else you can think of.

Re: The worst song....

For someone who recorded some of the most influential albums EVER (Hunky Dory, Ziggy, Low etc. etc.), I should think that David Bowie is wondering what to do with the person who suggested releasing "The Laughing Gnome".

Can I borrow your bucket please Thor?

Re: The worst song....

Many disco era tunes that go something like "my body, your body, everybdoy, my body..." Yuck!! But in the spirit of Rick's thread how about Rush's "I Think I am Going Bald". Maybe because it strikes too close to home but when you combine Geddy's impassioned vocals with such silly lyrics you get a ridiculous song. And I am a huge Rush fan.

You guys are scaring me... I don't know anything by the artist formerly known as the artist formerly known as Prince other than that awful "Rasberry berret" song that, unfortunately, got some radio airtime on the commercial channels.

You never heard When Doves Cry?? It was all the rage in 1984.

I'm not very talented on the "lyric-o-meter" when it comes to deciphering meaning, but I always thought (or may have read or been told) that the whole song is a metaphor. "Wall street shuffles there, dressed in flowing hair"...that sort of thing.

I know Neil's the word god, but I'll bust his ass if deserved ("Countdown", the bright "stuff" of dreams, for instance). but I'm pretty sure that's the tenor of "Bald". Let me know what you think...

Impassioned vocals...read: screeching

The only one I *have* in my collection is the song D.M.S.R. which appeared on the "Risky Business" soundtrack. Other than that song and the "fruity hat" song, I don't think I know anything by the artist formerly known as the artist formerly known as Prince.

Not me. I found out M was pregnant with Kevin in spring of 1999. I was hospitalized and nearly died from a DVT in the summer of '99 and then Kevin was born in the Autumn of '99. Wasn't much partying going on save for a couple of nights in the beginning of '99.
