That tic tok song currently in the charts, what god awful lyrics. Must find something to rhyme with swagger, I know Mick Jagger.

Second that. Just another bad high school scene cliché song. Don't see why the singer or the song is being promoted so much at the moment. The way they are trying to make her out is like she is this 'crazy' cool person, but for me its sounds like just another manufactured pop singer.

Pop star KESHA was so desperate to make it in the music industry, she broke into PRINCE’s house to give him a demo tape

Sigh.

Also sticking to current music, I cant STAND that 3 words song. If it didn't have Cheryl and Will.I.Am in it would not sell well or be famous at all. When I heard them play it at the Chris Moyles show I couldn't bare listening to the whole of it and still cant :rolleyes:

Just shows what putting a famous name on something makes it sell..

You can't post 'put a donk on it' without the dancing sign language lady!

Pretty much a one word one note chorus, and a video does not make an awful song any better, it merely provides a distraction... Example:

Awful song, so they draught in a load half naked women as a distraction - oldest trick in the book!

Not seen that one. Reckon she loves her job?

No one ever bought this for the A side... The B-side was much better, and also got it banned by the BBC.

Although, the Funky Gibbon isn't as bad as many on here - love the dungarees though.

I had the displeasure of overhearing some of Beyonce's album, never have I wanted to rip my ears off before.

I'm sure Big Kev will love you for saying he's just a youngster.

That did amuse me somewhat, especially as I was actually alive when the godawful drivel was released.

Anything by N-Dubz.

The same N-Dubz who got kicked off some anti-bullying campaign the other week....for bullying a Radio 1 listener for saying she hated the band....er "group"?

The bird is good lookin', the bullying pillock is a wally.

Probably just doing it for a reaction, it's the same guy that threw a hissy fit when Joe McElderry wasn't Christmas number one.

On that subject, Joe McElderry - The Climb. Awful, awful song.

What do you think of Joe himself? I just don't see the benefits of winning the X Factor. Cowell screws you over for money and he just uses the winners of the X Factor and Britain's Got Talent to make some money for someone's proverbial 15 minutes of fame then loses them in the shadows of used-to-be-famous-but-now-even-Rick-Astley-is-more-famous-than-you-are.

I've not heard all of the song that Joe lost out to for Xmas 2009 No 1 but I appreciate the sentiment of it beating an X Factor winner. They just murder ruddy good songs. Apparently Jedward are working with Vanilla Ice to re-murder Under Pressure. Louis Walsh!! :mad:

That is quite truly atrocious, why do people think that they can cover such a song, the original is fantastic and isn't likely to be bettered so why do people bother?

Indeed. One of the all time classics. Someone just trying to make a few quick quid from it.

Madonna - American Pie spring rather immediately to mind.

*Shudders* Madonna's ego can't have taken long to think it could do a decent job of that can it? Some Euro-pop DJ did a cover of Don Henley's Boys of Summer song.

There was some late 90s girl group called Vanilla, I think, who did a song called No Way, No Way. Was truly awful.

Oh my. Sad about her dying but sheesh.. Looks like someone tried making them into a 2nd Aqua.

It is different thought between annoying songs and downright poor ones. If they get stuck in your head or manage to annoy you then at least they have achieved something

I nearly smashed a radio the other day when I heard this, When working, Radio 2 has to be on, and they must play this 2-3 times a day. I don't know why, but I can't stand it at all, I'd rather have my meat and 2 veg burnt off with Napalm.

I agree. The majority is absolute tripe. Timbaland has lost his edge, I have yet to hear the DJ Zinc/Ms Dynamite or Biffy Clyro tracks so I'll reserve judgement until I've heard that. 'You've got the love' is a nice track however, but I prefer the original. Who the hell is Wizard Sleeve?
