The worst song....ever

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Come on now folks…just because you don’t like a particular song, or indeed band or artiste, doesn’t make the song terrible and the worst ever. After all we Brits had a special knack of buying stacks of the truly grim and execrable during the 70s and 80s…stuff that even those who bought it back then these days pause and wonder what on earth they were thinking, stuff that about which almost no-one has a good thing to say.

And so as a for instance I give you…our own dear @richart’s long lost twin with his hand stuck up a duck’s backside…

Worst song ever - 'Happy birthday to you'

Everyone has tried to rip this off but I've never heard it sung well and even if it was then the lyrics let it down anyway

 

[Mandofred]

This is so bad it’s good ??

I know....I kind of like it just because it's so weird. My wife got me on to this one years ago. Me to my wife "What.....there's a song about toast??"

"Mistletoe & Wine" must be a contender, especially if you watch the video.

 

[Imurg]

I've been perusing this and in my opinion it's.....

Mull of bloody Kintyre....Jesus H Christ what a dirge......

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Many modern pop songs seem to be one step away from ..........yodeling.

Worst song ...Grandad.

Ah but the piping of the Campbeltown Pipe Band in it is grand…though if you have no ear for piping then yes maybe it can sound a bit dirgish.

No..no it really isn't....

You may not agree but the Irish pipes are far superior to the Scottish version. More expressive, versatile & not as loud!

I can forgive pretty much anything in the name of a Christmas song (as long as I don't have to watch Sir Cliff "dancing")...

I'd say anything Mariah Carey has massacred.

Absolutely....I almost gave playing them a try at one point in the past. At least you don't have to puff your brains out to keep playing.

They're my favourite musical instrument

What about your local Northumbrian Small Pipes?

Not keen, a bit tinny & one dimensional. It's the way the regulators on the Uilleann pipes can change the pitch of the drones which makes them so tuneful. Just a lovely, evocative, sound.

Do bad versions (and video performances) of songs count?

Nothing to argue with there. I always thought that it would be like rubbing your tummy and patting your head at the same time but with yet another level of complexity on top! I'd love to but know I couldn't.
