The Time (Dirty Bit)

All you need is promotion. If radio stations hammer it to death there is always the possibility that people WILL buy it, no matter how many times you hear someone saying "That 'song' was stolen from Dirty Dancing!!"

It's True That We Love One Another - White Stripes.

I love this, it's such a weird rock album, and then they break into this folk-y ode to friendship.

IMO Russ Abbott's 'Atmosphere' is a decent enough throwaway pop tune, and not an 'embarrassment'.

Had Su Pollard's 'Starting Together' been recorded by some generic British female pop vocalist, it wouldn't be derided. I love SP's version :P

Not a bad song, and nothing to be embarrassed about.

Classic (?) punk song, "Jilted John", from, eh, Jilted John! Side-splittingly funny and SOOOOOO bad!!! But you have to laugh, especially the "monologue" at the end, with the band shouting (really) "Yeah yeah I don't care!"

That video used to scare me shitless!

I'd say this one:

It bloody terrifies me sometimes, and used to give me nightmares, but, I love it at the same time.... No, like, ACTUALLY love it.

Those are just good songs, plain and simple!

Whats not good about the line "I was so upset that I cried all the way to the chipshop"?

What?!!!! Choooooon!

Like a G6 - Far East Movement. Only started liking it after someone on here started a thread complaining how irritating it was. Hadn't paid it any attention until then...

You think that's bad? It reaches new levels of so-bad-it's-goodness when you hear it in Irish
