My Way by Frank Sinatra was a catalyst for several murders in the Philippines so maybe that one

In August 2007, a karaoke singer in Seattle, Washington, was attacked by a woman who wanted him to stop singing Coldplay's "Yellow".

Fair enough, ma'am.

Believe it or not, the worst song is actually whatever your favorite song is. It changes a lot depending on who's reading this.

Is it cheating if i mention anything Seth Putnam put out?

if you want mental damage

CW: every bad combination of words

name of band is also badLook up the discography of "anal removed" and pick any song at random the title alone will be horrible enough to beat any song you pick

He even put out an ironic love songs album that somehow is even worse

I think we're heading into the season which is a bounty of some of the worst songs in the world.

I haven't worked in retail for so long but I still get the ~~thousand mile~~ thousand yard stare when the Christmas tunes start blaring.
(How do you do, fellow Americans? Today while driving my pickup truck down the freeway to the gun range this morning, I was eating my usual breakfast hamburger with Starbucks when a deer hit the hood of my car. The cops pulled me over, outraged at the harm I had caused to my car so they engaged in the typical amount of police brutality against me before I was rushed to hospital whereupon I was promptly declared bankrupt, so now I am suing the hospital, the police department, and the fish and wildlife service for damages. Just another day in America, amirite?)

There's only so many 8 hour shifts with a Christmas song rotation of like 20 songs that are all at best marginally better than this Christmas song.

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

All I Want for Christmas is You was my nemesis. It's overproduced that when it also gets overplayed it feels like violence.

Same and same. No-one who hasn't been in that situation can truly understand the trauma.

There speaks one who has never heard "The cheeky song (touch my bum)"

[–] propter_hog@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

Or the bum bum song

[–] supafuzz@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

sorry it's actually "the long and winding road"

exhibit A:

The long and winding road that leads to your door
Will never disappear, I've seen that road before
It always leads me here, lead me to your door

the prosecution rests

If it's bad rhymes, then Pitbull has this person beat.

Anything by Ed Sheeran but especially Shape Of You. Can't believe it was the most popular song for a long while. It's so repetitive and grating, and the lyrics are cringe af at best, objectifying and creepy at worst.

An article about how the song was written: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/12/20/arts/music/ed-sheeran-shape-of-you.html

Mr. Mac and Mr. McDaid weren’t convinced. “‘I’m in love with your body,’ on its own with no addendum, with nothing at the end or no preface, felt objectifying to me,” Mr. McDaid said. “It felt like that’s the thing — it’s just physical, it’s nothing else.”

yup

Mr. Mac gave the collaborators a challenge: to use the same four chords throughout, not switching to a major key for the chorus.

Being bland and repetitive was an intentional design decision. That's why I hate it more than anything else.

After about 90 minutes, they had recorded the complete song.

:margot-disgust:

Absolute gross slop.

[–] vovchik_ilich@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

I agree that the song is obnoxious, but have you heard "the molecular shape of you" by Acapella Science? It's an incredibly good scientific parody of the song

[–] CocteauChameleons@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago (4 children)

My hero by foo fighters

Good life by onerepublic

Its going to be best day of my life song

Fuckin any maroon 5 song

The kid laroi and justin beiber song

Heat waves by glass animals

White iverson and circles by post malone

That jelly roll song

I dont know the name but it goes like “when i went to Chicago” WORST SONG EVER DIE DIE

For years I worked in a warehouse and a different section blasted the same playlist every day, and it wasn't long enough to get through the workday, so it would loop a couple of times. At that distance, with that crappy Bluetooth speaker, played at that volume, I heard a shitload of just the distorted high notes of Hello by Adele, Downtown by Macklemore, and Shipping off to Boston by the Dropkick Murphys.

So those three are all tied first for worst.

[–] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Same, at Amazon, except one day I found out the speakers were Bluetooth connectable, and you could link multiple sections together. I put on 'Sixteen Tonnes' and let the bad times roll.

I posted a video of it online, and it turned out South Park already did that.

[–] Aradina@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago

The speed with which people forgot Tones and I is impressive

Especially since she has another song I keep hearing on the Woolworths radio (it's not great)

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

It's actually 7 Years by Lukas Graham.

edit: no, that song sucks, but the real worst song ever is Click Click Boom by Saliva.

[–] fox@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

God I hate 7 Years

[–] miz@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

it's spelled Michael Bublé (boob-LAY) but it's pronounced Michael Tittyfuck

[–] Realtor_Hate_Account@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

Any modern country song. That shit should legit be suppressed.

[–] Sickos@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

screm-aaaaa why would you inject that into my brain

[–] someone@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Because I had to suffer through it last night when getting groceries and I won't suffer alone.

[–] Sickos@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Oh no it was gone but this reply brought it back.

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

A lot of you haven't been following Dax's country rap turn and it shows.

[–] FugaziArchivist@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

I don't suspect anyone to be interested but I've kept an ongoing list of songs I absolutely can't stand - many feel like lowkey psychological warfare, because I've been hearing them in grocery stores, cars, and gas stations for my entire life, without any say in the matter. How many more times can you play the same classic rock hits....

[–] Bureaucrat@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Shape of You by Ed Shareen. I worked at a shitty warehouse that managent pumped with a top of the charts radio station. Shape of You was played more than once per hour some days

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'd suggest something by Dave Matthew's for the worst.

Just cause you can play well doesn't mean you can write something good

[–] Realtor_Hate_Account@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

I hate his music but apparently he has condemned Israel and renounced his SA citizenship so that's better than most celebs

[–] Guamer@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

"Just Haven't Met You Fett" and it's Boba Fett

"Just Haven't Met You Nyett" and it's Russian
