The Awful Song Thread.

I would like to start this thread off with an appalling 1980 number one hit

Sorry, youtube is blocked at school, what song is it?

randal · 17 Jan 2010 at 11:42

Anything by N Dubs (I refuse to pluralise "dub" with a "z").

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

I’ll raise you in the awful stakes:

I think nominating novelty songs is unfair, as most people know they are rubbish. This would be more fun if you picked mainstream songs only.

Anything by Scouting for Girls. The lyrics are just repeated ad nauseam. Compare their songs to something like American Pie which apart from the chorus repeated, every verse, for over 8 mins, is different.

I still struggle to believe that kept Vienna from the number one it deserved, I really question what the Great British public were thinking at the time.

Elton John - Candle In The Wind is a stunningly awful mawkish piece of trash.

I presume you're joking, as it's brilliant and in my top ten of all time.

It sits in there with House Of The Rising Sun very close behind?

Just thought of another awful song which was inexplicably popular: Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On.
