Sundays at work we have to spend the first half of the night doing inventory in the warehouse. There is a radio that people used to constantly fight over what to listen to so after a while we decided to let each person have their preference on a turn by turn basis. Last week a coworker brought in a freaking Hank Williams CD and after 3 hours of listening to that I am still angry. This week is my turn and I want revenge, I want to cause emotional pain and suffering, I want to rain crap on everyone. So I decided to compile a disk of some of the worst music I can think of. Heres what I have come up with so far.

The Village People - In the Navy, YMCA
AhHa - Take on me
Right Said Fred - I'm too sexy
Gerardo - Rico Suave
Aba - Dancing Queen
The 5th Dimension - Age of Aquarius
George Micheals - Wake me up before you go go

Any more ideas folks?

I love Take On Me.

Hank Williams is fantastic.

Take a freaking I pod.

Starland Vocal Band -- Afternoon Delight

Taco -- Puttin On the Ritz

Bo Donnelson and the Haywoods -- Billy Don't Be a Hero

Gloria Gainer -- I Will Survive

Melanie -- I Got a Brand New Pair of Rollerskates

I'll think of others.

Slim Whitman was good for exploding Martians' brains...

Paper Lace - "The Night Chicago Died"

Bay City Rollers - "Saturday Night"

Styx - "Plexiglass Toilet"

You know, the only problem with a lot of this music is going to be that your coworkers are going to A) think you like it and B) assume you're gay. Cheesy

Glockfan, Hank Williams made beautiful, timeless music. You have no soul. Seek help.

And what's up with those dancing gollums, boy?

bedlamite · « **Reply #6 on:** January 30, 2007, 04:57:38 PM »

Lemme get this straight, you had to listen to bad music last week, so you want to do it again? The term they use for that is masochist.

Are they doing the Hustle or the Macarena? grin

Hey, Macarena, that's another one you could use.

Mr. Irwin has compiled an excellent list of intolerable songs.

I happen to like Hank Williams, too.

Got any Patsy Kline? <<<shudder>>>

White Zombie - Make them die slowly. Really really bad album, any cut will do.

Nine Inch Nails - Fixed. halo six. Not bad, just not to most folks taste

Lords of Acid - Lust & VooDooU. Lots of shock value there, if just one song, take Crablouse or You Belong to me

Raffi - Bananaphone

Tool - die eier von satan For those unfamiliar with the peice, it sounds like something you'd hear at a Nazi Party rally since it is delivered in impassioned German with cheering crowds. Buts its really just a cookie recipe

How about the original soundtrack album for "Saturday Night Fever?"

If there's people in your workplace who actually like that garbage, chances are you're going to wind up strangling them anyway. So, why wait?

Declaration Day · « **Reply #15 on:** January 30, 2007, 08:12:18 PM »

Any country music will do. grin

Seriously though I think Beck is just about the worst excuse for an artist out there; that'd be a good choice.

Maybe pick up K-Fed's CD.

Hey! I like Patsy Kline. There's nothing wrong with her music.

For bad music I vote for any of the boy bands, especially of the has-been variety. That music was wretched when it was new, and it hasn't gotten any better with age. NSynch or some such comes to mind.

you COULD just see how many versions of Louie, Louie you can find...

This seems like a good start...

Monkeyleg · « **Reply #20 on:** January 30, 2007, 09:27:50 PM »

Hunter, have your or anyone else here read the history of the song, "Louie, Louie?"

It's pretty funny. Reminds me of my first saxophone duet in front of an audience, when my mouth went dry from stage fright. Anyone who's played a reed instrument knows how bad that instrument can sound if the reed isn't fed saliva. Sad

I've mentioned on other threads that I suffer from insomnia. One of the causes is what psychologists euphemistically call "ear worms." IOW, songs that you can't get out of your head.

The songs I hear at 3 am range from the relatively benign (Dylan's "Girl from the North Country") to the really obnoxious (Billy Idol's "Rebel Yell."). Yeah, it's a lot of fun. Sad

The last couple of nights, I've layed awake with "The Bird" by the Trashmen in my head. Can't shut it off.

For those of you too young, do a search and download the song. For those of you too lazy, here's the lyrics:

SURFIN' BIRD
(Frazier - White - Harris - Wilson)
THE TRASHMEN (GARRETT 4002, 1963)

A-well-a everybody's heard about the bird
B-b-b-bird, bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, the bird is the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, well the bird is the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, well the bird is the word
A-well-a bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, well the bird is the word
A-well-a bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a don't you know about the bird?
Well, everybody knows that the bird is the word!
A-well-a bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a...

A-well-a everybody's heard about the bird
Bird, bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a don't you know about the bird?
Well, everybody's talking about the bird!
A-well-a bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a bird...

Surfin' bird

Get a copy of Jerusalem, by the band Sleep. There is a good chance that one or two of your co-workers will fall into a coma, or kill themselves.

KC And The Sunshine Band, a real room clearer.

I second the Patsy Cline and third the Hank Williams. Ole Hank would be proud.

Isnt is amazing how much garbage got put out in the 1970s? I dont know how music survived.

280plus · « **Reply #23 on:** January 31, 2007, 01:09:01 AM »

Until now, I never even knew there WERE lyrics to "Surfin' Bird" cheesy

I'd offer up a bunch of live Streisand, then there's always Tom Jones, Englebert Humperdinck and who's the other guy, oh, Wayne Newton... shocked

HankB · « **Reply #24 on:** January 31, 2007, 04:10:24 AM »

If you're looking for bad music, just look for anything labeled "rap" or "hip-hop." (OK, it doesn't really qualify as music, but it is annoyingly bad noise.)

'70s disco is also annoying . . . I can see a complilation that includes "Fly, Robin, Fly" by Silver Convention . . . you might throw in "Convoy" by C. W. McCall, "You Light Up My Life" by Debbie Boone, off beat things like "Spiders and Snakes" by Jim Stafford, and odd stuff like "Humphrey the Camel" and "Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road" . . . and finish up with "I'm My Own Grandpaw" . . .
