the Christmas shoes song is the worst song ever written, unless it was written for the laugh in which case it's genius. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpkI7GW2V34

'Mull of Kintyre' - Wings. Terrible.
I think we know who the talent in the Beatles was.

Lennon had some sh*t songs in his solo career aswell. Worse stuff than Mull of Kintyre.

'Life' by Des'Ree (or whatever way u spell it). That is the worst song ever, FACT! (I've written FACT, which means its beyond arguement:) )

I don't want to see a ghost
thats a sight that i fear most
rather have a piece of toast

I mean WHAT?? It was the biggest selling bristish single of the year when it was released too Oh I hate that song so much!

When I saw the thread title this was the first thing I thought of and I only read the thread to see if anyone posted it. I worked in a record shop the summer it was released and the Des’ree album was one of the CDs on rotation in the store. My appendix burst and I almost died (seriously) over the August Bank Holiday weekend BUT IT WAS PREFERABLE TO LISTENING TO “LIFE” AGAIN.

It’s closely followed by the entire Pitbull catalogue though. As a rap fan (more old school than the current crop) I especially like the way his lyrical dexterity cleverly changed the rhyming structure inherent in rap - rather than use a different word that sounded like a previously used word to create a rhyme, Pitbull just repeats the same word. It’s genius really........and by genius I mean retarded.

Lot of contenders for that song isn't there... I presume we're talking songs that have charted and done well as opposed to ****e songs written by a local fella down the pub?

An awful lot of chili pepper songs have absolutely atrocious lyrics, saved by great musicians!

Barbie Girl by Aqua... Awful.. but maybe they get away with it because it's clearly not a serious song.

Maybe rhythm is a dancer by Snap, "I'm serious as cancer when I say rhythm is a dancer"

Youtube comments are very funny if a little on the cruel side.

Dead heat between

Mull of effing Kintyre.

Galway Girl is atrocious too.

Then there's the smug lyrical vacuousness of

Not a bad song for me. You're right about the keyboard solo.

I don't mind Gypsy Woman either.

I don't know how you can dislike that one.

I love that song - that was a great album in fact.

What ever happened to them I wonder?

Groove jet is excellent.

So is teardrops by Womack and Womack. Ain't you got no soul Grayson Early Twin, you jive ass mofo?

It is common knowledge that the worst song ever written is in fact Galway Girl by Ed Sheeran. This much is indisputable.

Sheridan81

I like Freed From Desire.

That's Not My Name by Ting Tings is awesome. Their first album was good, then their second was mediocre. I haven't heard their third album.

Fairytale of new york by ronan keating.
Why he was never lockup for butchering an icon track like I do not know. I amnesty international would agree if he was locked up for singing it would be a miscarriage of justice. Poor chap hasn't got a note in his head

'Mull of Kintyre' is a bit of a dirge.

Party rock anthem....every day I'm shufflin!

If I was a boy by Beyoncé. That has to be the most cringe-inducing song I've ever heard.

Possibly topped by this masterpiece however - it's close though.

Des'ree - Life

Lyrics
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life,
Doo, doot doot dooo.
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life,
Doo, doot dooo

I'm afraid of the dark,
Especially when I'm in a park
And there's no-one else around,
Oh, I get the shivers

I don't want to see a ghost,
It's a sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
And watch the evening news
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life,

etc etc - it doesn't get any better to be honest so i'll spare you the rest!:D

You leave Chris alone - I had my first ever smooch to that song with the lovely Michelle in the roller disco in Crumlin - damn she was gorgeous.
Good times.:D

Had a guy in my office who used to think there was some deep meaning to this that only a chosen few (including himself) actually got.
I just thought it was shíte.

Rumour I heard was that their father was involved in the music industry back in the day, not sure how much truth to that there is though.

No harm to Delores, and I do like The Cranberries, but there's a tune of theirs which I can't forget whenever a topic like this comes up...

The thing I'm actually clinging to and mildly liking is not even original, The Smiths' Johnny Marr did it so much better. Then those 'gunshots' at the end, straight from a GEM CD1 keyboard with the sound quality, and wholly derivative and unimaginative from a writing POV.

All good bands and songwriters have at least one dud in their arsenal somewhere, but I really feel this is a terrible garage band effort and it should never have seen the light of day.

The one where they count and then list the days of the week. Far an away the most horrendous song continuously played on airwaves. A close second is Beyoncé crazy in love, it’s once an hour on pretty much every station. Awful stuff.
