Building site opposite my living room has the radio on, and it just played a cheap-tacky techno version of Bonny Tyler's already-awful Total Eclips of the Heart.

It was funny for a few seconds, but now I feel dirty.

Huh I saw the thread title and presumed that somebody had just had a very late introduction to 'I am the Walrus'...

Coo Coo Cha Choo..........


They are still easily the greatest band of all time though ;)

You can get cheap-tacky techno versions of everything in Limerick these days.

Hell, I must have heard that Bonnie Tyler thingy sometime early last summer.

Don't they stand to attention when that comes on down Colemans these days?

Anyway, SLK's bashing of the Greatest Band of All Time aside, the worst song has to be.....'Sleeping With The Lights On' by Busted....:)

There is a sup'ed up punto that drives past my work every day at around 4 20 stops at the lights and all i can hear is what can only be described as hamster dance music , you know the kind really fast rubbish beat and then some voice distorted with helium and the speed increased. Truely awfull stuff


Still not as bad as that daft bint Kate nash is it the one with the line about eating too many lemons coz you are so bittar and your mates being much fittar in a really horrible accent. and her follow up i just want your kiss boy kiss boy kiss boy ......... is just as bad .

The worst song ever is "3 Wise Men" by James Blunt, the second worst song ever is "Suddenly I See" by KT Tunstall....both songs make me want to bite the tips of my little fingers off and jam them in my ears

That Ronnie Drew thing doesn't qualify as a song, its just noise

No its that Sun goes down song that really really makes me want to kill djs that play it. God it is atrocious. Its like a really bad Austrian Eurovision entry.

Save us from such music please.

Everyone on here until now is wrong, except Wolfie.

That Thom woman is responsible for such a crime against music as will stand as the worst song ever for all eternity, regardless of what hellish concoctions are dreamed up between now and then.

That 4 Non Blondes atrocity is a distant second and so will remain.

You may now argue amongst yourselves over the 3rd place. That is all.

You can always count of Eurovision to throw up some classics. Here's one from Sweden.

Lets not forget those powder puff poncey slush ballad merchants "Savage Garden" - who subjected the world to some of the most cornball, vomit inducing efforts with titles along the lines of "I loved you before I met you" :D

Merely a crime against music?! Anyway whichever the precise crime, I've a suitable stake, some wood, and oil, so if you can locate a match we're laughing..... a wide-eyed, psychotic, vindictive cackle of a laugh of course. :mad:



I'd echo the general sentiment of the OP though. That whole 12-year-old girl techno/clubland hardhouse is not great, to literally say the least. But that would be for the "I May Have Just Heard the Worst Genre Ever" thread. :)

BassHunter-Now your gone Die F**KING Die!

On the subject of the 'Chipmunk Hardhouse on Ecstasy' Genre sad to say but its the music of the masses as far as todays teenager's go and is painful to the least. I am a big dance music fan but its music with funk and soul not this tripe that makes me want to rip my ears of and question gods thinking in giving us the gift of hearing:mad:

RANT OVER!!!

There was a lot of truly heinous techno around in the early 90's that was adopted as yet another trash talisman of the working/ under class.

The already embraced pittbulls, gold chains, UV lights and blacked out windows on Opel Corsa's now had a theme tune. It was the musical weapon of choice of a lot of skangers.

There were a lot of lads whose musical interests stretched as far as Skooter ("HYPER! HYPER!!" :rolleyes:) and an endless list of no-mark Dj's. It was directly connected with the proliferated drugs of the time - "E" was at its zenith.

There was some tragic sub-genres around at the time such as - "Toy Town Techno". These were essentially the theme tunes to childrens TV programmes with techno beats added - Sesame Street, Rhubard and Custard, Trumpton. I think there may have been a Bosco version at one stage. Strange days.

I was at a mates wedding once and as the bride and groom were having their first dance one of the other mates girlfriends saya to her fella 'When we get married I want angels by robbie willaims as our first song'. To which he replied 'No, I waant REM's Its the end of the world as we know it'

The priest that celebrated myself and the missus wedding told us that a previous couple had requested Celine Dion's "My Heart will go on" from Titanic :D. It conjurred up images of a bride and groom at the alter with an ever increasing water level rising up around them.

He asked us to guess the worst choice he's ever heard. He said - "I'll give you a clue. The grooms name was Robert".

The answer folks - "I wanna be Bobby's Girl" :D

You know there is a 'Least appropriate song for a public function' thread currently on the go.


Although, to be fair, that Dion monstrosity probably belongs in this thread too.

The music at the Brandywell before matches and at half time is truly diabolical. We get dance 'remixes' of songs like The Town I Loved So Well, Fields of Athenry etc.

There's a few ***** out there who cater to that particular market ...Dance To Tipperary for example. They make these vile recordings and if I had them shot I'd be one to go to jail for it. :mad:

I remember hearing that they are widely respected in the Central European dance scene :D

Anyway, worst song at the moment, Mundy's Galway Girl, that boy was given his last warning by God two albums ago, surely the time has come to take him out? I have visions of Jesus being so he strap a bomb on and go on a suicide mission into one of Mundy's gigs

Galway Girl is a Steve Earle song. The version in the cider ad is his unless I'm gravely mistaken.

Ah I saw the singles chart and saw Mundy Galway Girl at number two and assumed the worst, I apologise to Mundy and put a jihad on Steve Earle in that case

The Galway Girl, like much of Steve Earles work, is a fine piece of songwriting. :cool:

Ha ha. Remember them alright. Saw them in Leisureland before a Prodigy concert in the mid 90's. Lunatics.
