Good Songs (But With A **** Bit)

Zak Flaps

Was driving home from work and The Knack's My Sharona came on.

Its a great little snappy song, but I always thought the bit that comes in towards the end (2.48) was dreadful. Changes to that ultra cliched chord structure and a horribly cheesy solo that goes on much too long. The song would be so much better without it. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it!

It got me thinking. Any more songs out there that you like a lot, apart from one particularly annoying bit?

WoollyRedHat

Red Hot Chilli Peppers-By the Way...

I like it until he goes all crazy and ****.

dodderangler

The script
Start of songs good till he opens his mouth

Cavehill Red

The solo in "Winds of Change".
So bad it makes the whistling sound epic.

Canard

When Katy Perry put Kanye West into her song E.T. The song wasn't crazily good to start with, but holy jesus I have never heard anything worse than that version.

spankysue

The bit in The Bartman when Lisa starts playing her stupid saxamaphone

Little Green Bag by George Baker. The Reservoir Dogs intro is excellently moody but the verses sound like Joe Dolan album filler.

DrumSteve

Signal Fire by snow patrol, decent til the chorus.

SureYWouldntYa

the bit in the middle just ruins the Angelus

megafan

Worst part is that it has to end:cool:

Now I love Blondie, but Debbie Harry ain't no rapper, so when she breaks out into a bad rap in the middle of Rapture, it's a little....odd.

W.Shakes-Beer

Big Yellow Taxi by the Black Crowes does not need that geebag Vanessa Carlton shooooopin and booooowaaaaaapin.

The segment from 2:41 to 3:05 was a mis-step, in my opinion.
Really takes away from the overall piece.

Silence, you.

I love the Happy Birthday song, and sometimes even sing along, but it get sh!t real quick at the end, for the monkey/zoo part.

Rasheed

I love Eric Clapton's 'Layla'. Then the shiity bit comes when it's slows down and the piano kicks in.

efb

if only we had a music forum...

xzanti

Fun 'Some Nights' ... Epic song but they don't need that synthesised bit at the end.. his voice is amazing without it.

mackeire

take me out by franz ferdinand.
if the whole song was like the intro then it would be a good song.

Banjo String

Bohemian rhapsody....


Galileo......

LOVE A GOOD MASS

Ram Jam - Black Betty. God, everything after the start is awful. Starting with the drum solo. Oohhhh black betty baanamaaann

Around the World by the Chili Peppers, the bit where he starts going "Ding, dang, dong, dong, deng, deng, dong, dong, ding, dang." Their lyrics are always terrible but that was a new low.

Peregrine

The parts with Lady Cobra just ruins it, granted it's not vintage Green Day but still..

Banjo String

Greenday ruined punk music anyway Nimrod.

Granted, some of their older stuff wasn't bad (I'm thinking Dookie/Nimrod albums) but as they progressed, they became the typical American 'punk' band, up there with blink 182 etc.

I think it adds to the song but I never really liked the intro to Wings' "Band on the Run", singing how their "stuck inside forever, mama yooouu" but when they get into the "if we ever get out of here" I love it.

the purple tin

In 'love shack' by B52s I don't like the 'bang bang on the door baby' part and the weird shouty bit straight after it.

That's the best part

bluefinger

everything leading up to the grand prix music in 'the chain' by fleetwood mac is pointless.

Gmol

Talky bit at the beginning of Old town.

TouchingVirus

The bit from 2:30-3:30 in Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper. Somebody was in bad need of a shít guitar solo that day?

Blisterman

About 2 minutes into Rock the Casbah by the Clash, there's a beepy thing which sounds like someone's mobile phone going off in the background. Really distracting.

The Road Runner

The sax solo in My Lovely Horse

A magnificent song ruined by not only 1, but 2 quite unnecessary crazy musical inserts. The damage occurs at 1:32 and again at 3:11.

Bang on, an act of wanton vandalism.

castletownman

Most modern pop songs with the token rap verse midway through. Appealing to the ghetto.

Pricetag by Jessie J springs to mind

Sky King

Lets Dance by David Bowie has and intro and verses that are WAY better than the chorus, which is just..... wrong.

Paul16

The end of wake up by arcade fire, great song ruined.

ankles

There's a bit towards the end of Thriller which sounds as though they missed their rhythm and then edited over it. Just sounds wrong.

Kettleson

Such a tragedy that Rowland couldn't have come up with something other than that roll at 3:03.

Come On Eileen.

The bit in 'Teenage Wasteland' by the Who that sounds like there are a load of midgets dancing around at a medieval food fayre.

They are pop punk, not hardcore punk. They didn't "ruin" punk, they are just a band that took a different route. And you look at ANYONE under 30 who is into Punk, they'll tell you it was Black Flag, Bad Religion and such who got them into Punk, but it was bands like Green Day and Blink who started them.....

But... but.... that's the bit where DeNiro starts killing everyone! :eek:

Truncheon Rouge

Solo in 'Killing in the name of' by 'rage against the machine'.

its like YEAH YEAH YEAAAH....its leading up to an epic solo, its leading up to an epic solo ...i can feel it...come on - crap solo - ..

all that '90s mid class whiney yank suburban idyll stuff is complete opposite of what was / supposed to be. I hated skatepunks, punk was utterly ruined by mid class hipsters is where they tend to end up when a street culture gets abandoned for something new. Loses it's bite, becomes fashion accessory.

Problem is something very dumb with no actual musicality, nor lyrics has reigned for some time and because ts so dumb they don't have the capacity to move on and these things actually affect society, profoundly... that's the ****test bit IMO, that the 'song' remains the same. For generations

Came on here to post that, love the song, dislike the solo.

DwightSchrute1

There is a bit in Queen - I Want It All that i think Brian May sings that ruins the song altogether

Hercule Poirot

The static/wierd noise at the end of Karma Police totally ruins a brilliant song

Wabbit Ears

Kings of leon, Sex on Fire, I really like the verses but the chorus is just plain ****, like it doesn't belong in the song or something. Always annoys me for some strange reason.
