    Fine Young Cannibals - Ever Fallen In Love

    I think this is probably the only song ive heard and thought...what the hell? Maybe its because i love the original so much, i dont know. I have tried listening to it as a song in it own right but it still sends my teeth on edge!

    Does anyone listen to the Graham Norton Show on BBC Radio 2 Saturday Mornings?

    He has a feature where listeners are invited to submit very bad songs. Yesterday it was this one from 1997:

    Vanilla - No Way No Way Mna mna! :eek:
    Fine Young Cannibals - Ever Fallen In Love

    Growing up in the 80s, I heard the FYC version before the excellent Buzzcocks original. :p

    I love the Buzzcocks version of this song and I agree that FYC ruined it, never liked FYC at all.

    Justin Timberlake has a song on his new album called Let The Groove Get In......it is headache inducing and pretty much flat out unlistenable:o

    When I saw the title of this thread I was intending to put Vanilla No Way No Way, but you beat me to it.

    Apparently it came about as a bet between some music execs (might even be simon cowell) who said that with the right marketing he could get anything to number 1 even if it was rubbish. They purposefully put this out knowing how bad it was to see if they could get it to number 1.

    Seconded I know it's a song about self-empowerment but I hate so much.

    The lyrics in that are awful
    "do you ever feel like a plastic bag drifting through the wind wanting to start again"
    awful lyrics

    Shout by Lulu is comfortably the worst song ever - every time I hear it I want to wring her neck.

    We-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l.......... I don't unduly mind it!:D

    This! FINALLY someone who agrees with me! The worst, most god awful crap I've ever had the misfortune to hear, nothing but nothing makes me turn the radio off quicker:mad:

    Same here i find most of Queens output Unlistenable as unpopular as that may be :o:p

    For me worst song Ott Knows- 100,000 Voices the most pointless song ever add to that Coldplay- Fix you and anything Radiohead save for Creep.

    I don't enjoy listening to songs that have spoken lyrics rather than sang lyrics and I am not talking about good rapping here.

    And it formed a massive part of Little & Large's 'Famous people starting their cars' routine.

    Is this one of those threads where people just name songs they don't like?

    Errr... yeah, that's kinda usual.

    But I like to pick out the crap songs from the songs I just don't like.

    Issues is the nicest and best song listed in this thread so far. The Saturdays have lost their way a bit recently, and I have not been so impressed by All fired Up or 30 Days.
    /QUOTE]

    They're okay songs... I know which of the songs released by The Saturdays is the worst - Missing You!!!
    God, if you weren't depressed before, you were afterwards...

    Black Eyed Peas - "Where is the love", "I Gotta Feeling", "Boom Boom Pow" their bastardized version of "The Time of My Life" - AWFUL act!
    Cheryl Cole's solo stuff
    Tulisa's solo stuff
    Dappy's soo stuff
    Anything by One Direction especially the dirge which made #1 a few weeks ago - obviously sales manipulation
    Don't go - Wretch 32
    Srillex - BangGang or whatever it's called...it's like someone was pressing random noises on a keyboard!
    Goyte - Somebody I used to know - Screaming in the chorus and a creepy video
    All the gangsta rap shite from the likes of 50cent, Dre etc - no melody just swearing and misonogy by numbers.

    It is very hard to manipulate sales - especially with the OCC/iTunes charts.
    And without song names, I haven't a clue what you're talking about! :D

    Duck Sauce - Barbara Streisand
    Possibly the most stupid and pointless excuse for a song ever.

    Oh god yeah, I remember that! How that can be classed as a "song", I do not know! :)

    Crank Dat- Soulja Boy. Pure sh!te.

    Now THAT is what I call terrible - I cannot class it even as a "song" or "music".... one of the worst releases ever! :eek:

    Either:

    What Makes You Beautiful ~ One Direction

    Or:

    Do You Feel What I Feel? ~ JLS

    Two good songs IMO - I vote for JLS out of the two though. (being the worst that is)

    I know of a bad song that no-one else has mentioned though - Azealia Banks - 212!!!

    Stuff that isn't even a song, like the Crazy Frog fad. In terms of actual songs, I'm always going to say Swagger Jagger by Cher Lloyd...I will never cease to be amazed that it got to number one. People are nuts. :p

    I am amazed at how either of those even charted to be honest. That's the definition of the worst song ever - but it isn't even a song imo!

    Umbrella - Rihanna
    I will be so happy to never hear that song ever again,sadly some shops are intent on still playing it though :mad:

    That was ages ago, surely they've stopped by now?
    It wasn't the worst, but not good...

    Azealia Banks - 212
    JLS - Hottest Girl In The World and The Club Is Alive
    One Direction - Little Things and Gotta Be You
    The Wanted - I Found You
    The White Stripes - My Doorbell
    Rebecca Black - Friday
    Rihanna - Rude Boy

    212 was just awful, I couldn't stand it either.
    The Club Is Alive was okay at the time (better than 212); Hottest Girl In The World wasn't that good either.
    Little Things and Gotta Be You were good.
    I Found You was crap
    I haven't heard My Doorbell.
    Friday is an abomination. How it got released I DO NOT KNOW.
    Rude Boy wasn't brilliant...
