Is this the worst song of the past few years? If not, what is?

I heard this song for the first time earlier

So I did this for awhile

Quarter of a billion!

Pj!

I clicked on the thread to correct you in case you got the wrong one. But no, you're bang on. It is indeed.

Anyone who lives in the countryside will know a fox's sound, they've loads of different callings. The vixens high pitched scream for instance, I used to think that was a banshee at night when I was a child. :pac:

LOSTfan57

Justin Bieber, One Direction, Miley Cyrus, Rebecca Black, theres a lot more ****e from "musicians" than to single out a norwegian comedy act...these "musicians" are much more deserving of that title

B.A._Baracus

Has to be a joke song. As much as crap does get made it is hammering it home.

Karl Stein

'If you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it' by screamer Beyonce.

Monumentally stupid song with a stupid turkey-dance video.

Nah. Nowhere even close to the worst. It's obvious that it's not meant to be a "serious" song. And even if it was, any song with the line "If you meet a friendly horse will you communicate by morse?" is fine by me.

I'd much prefer 'The Fox' to any of these abominations from the past 4 or 5 years:

Worst song in recent history is:

I'm blue da de da de da da da de da da da I'm blue da de da de da de da de da de da de I'm blue

I have a girlfriend and she is so blue da de da de da de da da da de da da da daaa

FUĆK RIGHT OFF

Legs.Eleven

So much atrocious bollocks that passes for music nowadays my brain frizzled (frazzled?) its mechanics a bit trying to think of just one.



I need a lie down.

It did work brilliantly in the opening of Iron Man 3 though, got a huge laugh from the audience I saw it with

That's a tune. Video is pretty ****e but the track itself is decent.

And combined they made a song about how great Israel is.

I hope to God it's all a joke.

I hate this more than maybe every other song I've ever heard.

Just a Gangnam Style, Harlem Shuffle type thing, which you'll be labelled as a "hipster" for not liking, no doubt.

Ah sh1t, I'm stumped now. How do I ensure not to be a hipster? Do I like the song or not like it?

I think the distressing part of that is that it's actually not terrible at all. If it were, we could comfortably dismiss the prospect of Linda Martin getting lucky and go about our lives as before.

But no. It's not bad. It's not bad, and ladies and gentlemen, Linda Martin means to get lucky.

May God have mercy on us all.

That aint recent. Its 15 years and more....

Wattle

For pure irritant factor this is hard to beat.They used to play this at the gym I went to all the fukin time. He's not even trying anymore. He basically just rewrote a nursery rhyme. And yet a quarter of a million people like this on Youtube.

Laura_lolly87

Listened to that song for the first time about ten minutes ago cause I wanted to see what the fuss was about. It's painful.

Timmyctc

Facepalming at all the people who cant discern the difference between an obvious parody (like the video posted in the OP) and genuine **** music.

It's the worst song in history. My leaving cert year which was 12 year so it still recent history. History being the key word here.

thecatspjs

I like a lot of these ''shit'' songs people are mentioning. I often get the impression that some people (not anyone here specifically, but in general) decide they don't like a song before hearing it in many cases.

If Led Zeppelin had released a One Direction song or vice versa, I bet opinions would differ

wretcheddomain

Even though it was mentioned above, I still think we all deserve to pleasure our auditory canals with her presence on this Friday night:

Wilberto

In fairness "Get Lucky" itself probably doesn't deserve to be tarred with the "Worst Song Ever" brush. It's just that that version is clearly awful.

But Led Zeppelin would never ever have done anything like that. Unlike most of these boybands they had no need to butcher other people's songs.

Anything by those crapsters Avicii:

1.Two i's are more than enough in any singular word.
2.They also use a kind rotovibe/emphais on alternating beats - which gives my cats migraines. It's not clever quadraphonics or anything, just arse.
3.Think they added folky banjo or backing chorus vocals ingredient into their pops-hit making machine which is piss poor. Another time they added a southern pickin' country vocals remix for the hipsters.

The Charlie Wilson bit is the only good part of that song. Every syllable that scutters out of Kanye's mouth is just awful.
