You know the ones.. The mega hits.... They blared out over all the radio stations.... MTV.... Countdown.... Rage........ At the time, you shook your head.... "Why? ...... How can people buy this? That's not a song.... That's a dying animal..... It's a CIA torture device.....
Share your worse distant and recent musical memories here.... Let's have a laugh....

We'll start with this song.... A bad song.... A nauseating song.... Could've chosen anything from this band.... I really couldn't stomach looking at David's sock filled tights, so I opted for this clip..... Note; the chorus "It's got what it takes" etc etc etc doesn't have a word in it bigger than one syllable.... A truly over produced yet dumbed down piece of dried vomit......

And if you haven't smashed the screen of your computer in yet, this one will get you over the line.

Imagine the long version? You'd be all Charles Manson by now.

Stop!!!! Make it stop!!!!!!! Bahahahaha.
Zen and fitz..... If you want to know how to put the you tube clip up like I did instead of just the link, this is how;

Just below the actual clip you are watching, (and just above the comments), you'll see 3 options - "add to", "share" and "more"......
Click on "share"....

When you've clicked on share, another option will appear, called "embed".... (as in embed that clip somewhere)....... So click on embed....... A really big link address will appear....... Use that link instead of the one you've been using, and paste exactly how you have been..... that will "embed" the clip into your comment...
Give it a try.... :)

Cheers Fitz, Good to be on board the Good Ship Earbleed. I'm gonna try and get a little closer to my own spotify playlist with this one. And I'm embedding Sheepdog, I saw how easy it was and decided I'd give it a try...so there's no surprise, you're probably not even reading this crap....on topic, first heard Neil when I was 8 and loved the tunes straight away. Kind of dreamy, melancholic and then raw and angry a bit later. I loved it but I really didn't know why. Something just struck a chord.

And then eventually I came across this, as we all must at some point.

A song by a truly legendary musician that I think is quite possibly the worst song in the history of the known universe.

Evil Southey.

A little light relief while I regroup.

In the car forum ages ago I mentioned I had a piece of shit Corona I bought off a chick I was trying to bed. Anyway, the tape player was broken and this groups 'best of' tape was stuck in it and wouldn't eject. I had to play this on a continuos loop. Rocking up to out of the way spots with this pumping didn't exactly add to my cred:-

a fine choice by benski, in neil youngs defence i think there was an element of "metal machine music" contractual obligation and a lawsuit involved with that execrable album.

as a genre i vote for those surf music strummers , jones, frankenreiter etc, in the words of "the inbetweeners 2", on arriving at a hostel and checking out the crew/girls etc, "theres always some cunt with a guitar…"

It's a slightly different kind of song (by definition), but ever since last Thursday I've had the theme to 'Beyond 2000' swirling around in my head thanks to The Checkout.

"theres always some cunt with a guitar…"

Well done.

Ok..... Ok....... The fun and games are over..... Yes, we can post little Warwick Capper songs that maybe sold a handful of copies..... But what I am about to put you through infected more people than bird flu, zika, and ebola combined...... A song so hideous, yet so huge, aliens have not visited our planet since out of sheer disgust....

Come on SD , i know you like winning and all .
Just face it , the 'wiz wins hands down . Covers all bases of retarded , infact i think he maybe legally. !
Its the right measurement of bad ( not selling any copy's ) despite being promoted by good ole' money bags Jeffrey Edelstein . [ That man could sell ice skates to paraplegics / (and probably did ) ] .

Anyway nice mention of " Charlene " , i beleive the ABC's " the Late Show " , may have dedicated half as show to her .

Maybe this thread could be followed by the best songs written as piss takes .

Still on the late show , " Shit Scared " was inspired by the real life ?!? documentary of Canadian Ken Carter , which in turn inspired Ammonia to write the song " Ken Carter " on the Album name also inspired " Mint 400 ".
Other mentions for such piss take material would surely have to go to TISM , the 'gurg , the Fauves .

Belle and Sebastian thought Charlene's song was so good that they would rip it off straight (Take your carriage clock and shove it).
I enjoyed the Warwick song, I must say.

Debbie Gibson popped into the thread yet?

For example:
