Worst songs of all time

Post by Mojojita » Tue Mar 15, 2011 12:32 pm

When it is hot on an afternoon on the playa, our camp plays "Worst Song Ever". Can you guys give me some good ammunition? So far I think this is my list:

1) Kung Fu Fighting
2) Happy Birthday To You
3) Knock Three Times
4) Yummy Yummy Yummy
5) McArthur's Park

FISHHEADS! You just gave me a wicked plan.... am going to make a CD with some of the best of the worst to use for a surprise Revellie (I have no idea how to spell this) at camp - along with a rousing bagpipe chorus, of course - maybe "Scotland the Brave"......

I camp with my adult sons, I think it's my job to torture them.

Yep, that's the one. :lol:

I recommend putting "Dave Barry's Book of Bad Songs" on hold online at your local library. It's a treasure trove.

I would like to submit for your consideration "My Humps" by the Black-Eyed Peas, and Kelis's "Milk Shake". I heard a friend once argue that it was a compelling statement of feminine empowerment and challenge. Her prescription for painkillers had just been justifiably renewed.

Dr. Demento songs shouldn't count, they're novelty tunes. I have 15 years worth of the fan club CDs, you can't buy this stuff anywhere...

Although the line, "I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring..." is a mind boggling piece of rhyme.

It's not too late for me to derive a camp name from this. The Subtle Whoring Collective.

I'll have to write it really, really small so I don't get customers, 'cause that's how subtle my whoring is.

Timothy was written by Rupert Holmes, who in addition to his hit "Escape (The Pina Colada Song).

Even though Billy Ray Cyrus took credit for writing Achy Breaky Heart when he released it…..it was actually written by a drywaller from New Jersey who had released the song locally in NJ a couple of years before……….the drywaller took Billy to court for copy write infringement………..the song make Billy famous……the money made it so the drywaller could retire.

Oh……bad songs:

Watching Scotty Grow

Having My Baby

Honey
How do I get a hold of you?
