Boardsies Decide :: The WORST song of all time!

rainbowtrout · 06-05-2020 7:55pm

Rupert Holmes - Escape Vs Bobby McFerrin - Don't Worry, Be Happy
Take That - Could it be magic Vs Justin Bieber - Baby
Dexy's Midnight Runners - Come on Eileen Vs DJ Casper - Cha Cha Slide
Captain and Tenille - Muskrat Love Vs Pentatonix - Hallelujah

The same war crimes tribunal that will be trying Ronan Keating could probably do Justin Bieber at the same time.

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 06-05-2020 7:55pm

Bobby McFerrin - Don't Worry, Be Happy ; absolutely hate it and I like The Pina Colada Song

Justin Bieber - Baby ; he has one or two bearable songs but this ain't one of them, and the Take That song is pretty good

DJ Casper - Cha Cha Slide ; fairly evenly matched, neither are the most terrible in the world, but they're both equally annoying, although Cha Cha Slide just that little bit worse I think

Captain and Tenille - Muskrat Love ; more bland than anything else, but Pentatonix don't bother me. They're alright for what they do, even if its not a great cover

Tell me how · 06-05-2020 7:57pm

Rupert Holmes - Escape Vs Bobby McFerrin - Don't Worry, Be Happy - Abstaining in this matchup.
Justin Bieber - Baby (Always felt JB was too manufactured)
DJ Casper - Cha Cha Slide (Saw a group of Brits trying to do choreographed dance to this in Spain. Bad memories)
Pentatonix - Hallelujah (Going for Penatonix here but if anyone can tell me WTF is the sound at 1:50 in the other one, I might change my mind)

quickbeam · 06-05-2020 7:58pm

More shocker nominations. No accounting for taste :rolleyes:

Rupert Holmes - Escape
Justin Bieber - Baby
DJ Casper - Cha Cha Slide
Pentatonix - Hallelujah

Best songs ever? No. Worst songs Ever? No. Not even close.

In your opinion.

Sales don't mean a record was good or bad. It means a lot of people bought it. A lot of the dross in this competition was in the Top 40 when it was released. Doesn't automatically mean everyone likes it.

50 Shades of Grey has sold 125 million copies worldwide. Doesn't stop it being utter trash in my opinion. All of those copies could have been used as toilet roll if things had gotten really bad in the last few weeks, and the literary world would be no worse off..... that gives me an idea for a game...

Kolido · 06-05-2020 8:05pm

Bobby McFerrin - Don't Worry, Be Happy, my nom, absolute tripe
Justin Bieber - Baby, I quite like that TT cover

PsychoPete · 06-05-2020 8:09pm

Rupert Holmes - Escape Vs Bobby McFerrin - Don't Worry, Be Happy. Two good songs, no vote

Take That - Could it be magic Vs Justin Bieber - Baby. Bieber!

Dexy's Midnight Runners - Come on Eileen Vs DJ Casper - Cha Cha Slide. Come on Eileen is a cracking tune so DJ Casper it is

Captain and Tenille - Muskrat Love Vs Pentatonix - Hallelujah. Muskrat Love here

Sawduck · 06-05-2020 8:11pm

Rupert Holmes - Escape - the other song is great
Justin Bieber - Baby
DJ Casper - Cha Cha Slide - the other song is good,this one is kinda annoying
Captain and Tenille - Muskrat Love

Round 1!!!

First song to reach 5 votes advances

No need for a reason at this point, though people are always welcome to give theirs

Reminder :: You are voting for the WORST song in each one of these matches

Round 1/Match 33

Mark McCabe - Maniac

Vs

Fleurie and the Jung Youth - In the end

This would be a terrible song as a new release, compared to the original, it is a blocked portaloo on day 4 of Glastonbury.

Round 1/Match 34

Reh Dogg - I'm Jerking Off

Vs

Crazytown - Butterfly

Round 1/Match 35

Axel F - Crazy Frog

Vs

Mariah Carey - All I want for Christmas

There was only one good thing about Crazy Frog. You could tell someone was a complete idiot if they used it as their ringtone, and then avoid them like the plague.

Why I Hate It: The majority of Christmas songs are pretty woeful, but this one really is the worst of the worst, so obviously also one of the most popular. Maybe its from my years of working in Retail around Christmas time and this was played over and over and over all day long, but can't stand it.

Round 1/Match 36

Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away

Vs

Mariah Carey - Without You

Mark McCabe - Maniac Vs Fleurie and the Jung Youth - In the end
Reh Dogg - I'm Jerking Off Vs Crazytown - Butterfly
Axel F - Crazy Frog Vs Mariah Carey - All I want for Christmas
Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away Vs Mariah Carey - Without You

Niska · 06-05-2020 8:12pm

Justin Bieber - Baby
DJ Casper - Cha Cha Slide
Pentatonix - Hallelujah

That was nice - now humming Don't worry... Always cheers me up.

For the rest, see above. Canada may have apologized many times for Bryan Adams, but they need to attend the Hague for Bieber

Niska · 06-05-2020 8:14pm

Fleurie and the Jung Youth - In the end
Reh Dogg - I'm Jerking Off
Axel F - Crazy Frog
Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away

(

quickbeam · 06-05-2020 8:15pm

Reh Dogg - I'm Jerking Off - because the title sounds crap
Axel F - Crazy Frog - because Carey is annoying but this is out of the park
Mariah Carey - Without You - because Carey is annoying and ruined a classic Nillsen.

Someone covering Linkin Park that badly deserves a beating with a red hot poker

Carey escapes in the first place because of that Frog but not the second one, Kravitz shouldnt even be here imo

Zaph · 06-05-2020 8:16pm

Rupert Holmes - Escape. A war crime of a song.

Justin Bieber - Baby. It's Justin Bieber, of course it's crap.

DJ Casper - Cha Cha Slide. No exactly a fair fight.

Captain and Tenille - Muskrat Love

Fleurie and the Jung Youth - In the end, mark mccabe, what a choon
Crazytown - Butterfly, another of my noms, something about it, cant stand it.
Axel F - Crazy Frog
Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away

Dont get all the hate for Mariah, a brilliant voice and easy on the eye

06-05-2020 8:17pm

Mark McCabe - Maniac Vs Fleurie and the Jung Youth - In the end - Fùcking Maniac. :mad: The single biggest shítstain on Ireland's cultural fabric. Even worse than Ronan Keating's many atrocities.

Axel F - Crazy Frog Vs Mariah Carey - All I want for Christmas - All I Want for Christmas is you is the only good Mariah Carey song.

Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away Vs Mariah Carey - Without You - I repeat, - All I Want for Christmas is you is the only good Mariah Carey song.

I have made the courtesy calls to the Gardai on behalf of the posters above, but I got the sense that they weren't taking me seriously because I was talking about anonymous posters on a discussion board during a pandemic where everyone is approaching their limit.

If anyone wants to know the colossal worldwide hit that Tell Me How submitted, I'll auction that answer off to the highest bidder

quickbeam · 06-05-2020 8:18pm

Would you believe me if I said I'd never heard Maniac?

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 06-05-2020 8:19pm

Mark McCabe - Maniac ; even a mediocre cover of a Linkin Park song is still a million times better than most other songs

Reh Dogg - I'm Jerking Off ; it's really crap and I also like Butterfly

Mariah Carey - All I want for Christmas ; because I nominated it, its an absolute nightmare of a song

Mariah Carey - Without You ; Fly Away is a great song and all Mariah Carey songs are rubbish. Probably the most overrated singer of all-time

Zaph · 06-05-2020 8:19pm

Mark McCabe - Maniac. I'm not even going to listen to the other song. This is a potential overall winner for me it's so bad.

Crazytown - Butterfly. Look up the definition of irritating on the internet and there'll be a link to this pile of crap.

Axel F - Crazy Frog. I never thought I'd favour Mariah Carey over anyone. Show's what I know.

Mariah Carey - Without You. It's OK, relax, balance has been restored to the universe.

Tell me how · 06-05-2020 8:19pm

Fleurie and the Jung Youth - In the end (Insulting to the original)
Reh Dogg - I'm Jerking Off (No doubt you are Reh Dogg)
Axel F - Crazy Frog (F the producer who decided to release this)
Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away (Mariah Carey is song is a classic)

Mark McCabe - Maniac Vs Fleurie and the Jung Youth - In the end. Maniac is a staple of irish culture should have never been included! Fleurie and the Jung Youth is just down right awful, gets my vote

Reh Dogg - I'm Jerking Off Vs Crazytown - Butterfly. Listening to I'm jerking off makes me want to never repeat that act knowing that wretched man also does it!

Axel F - Crazy Frog Vs Mariah Carey - All I want for Christmas. Crazy Frog

Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away Vs Mariah Carey - Without You. Mariah because I like Fly Away

I'm glad to see All I want for christmas was nominated, I was going to nominate it. When my students were playing some christmas music on the last day or two before the holidays I told them they could play anything but that, it was banned in my room.

She's escaping this round because the frog deserves to be put in a blender, but next round Mariah, I'm coming for ya.

Axel F - Crazy Frog - It's literally just noise
Mariah Carey - Without You - Fly Away is brilliant and doesn't belong here

Glad to see 'Barking' got through. It's one of those songs I constantly heard on the radio and struggled to comprehend how such a lazily performed and poorly written song could be successful.

Worst part was it took half an hour of humming the thing in my head trying to remember lyrics and checking top 40 charts from two years ago to figure out what it was called.

I HATE IT.

I also nominated the Tiesto Jackie Chan song for similar reasons to above. Very annoying.

Nominated another song which seems to have got through the first round but just realised I have let everyone down - and most of all myself.

"Dawn. Tie a yellow Ribbon round the old oak tree"

There. Maybe we should just stop the competition now and apologise for wasting one anothers time.

Well you might get another chance. I have 2 entries in my database that are duplicate entries, so we have scope for a wildcard round for the final spot in round 2. if you want to enter something for the wildcard, send your submission to me by PM. We'll limit it to 2 songs per person and it will appear as the last match in Round 1!

Round 1!!!

First song to reach 5 votes advances

No need for a reason at this point, though people are always welcome to give theirs

Reminder :: You are voting for the WORST song in each one of these matches

Round 1/Match 37

Fr. Brian - Who's in da house ?

Vs

Simply Red - Fairground

A "comedy" song by a then relatively unknown Brendan O'Connor. Sung loudly by drunken morons all over the country back when it was released. Also this song was championed by Ray D'arcy. Thanks a bunch Ray.

Played every single hour on the hour for a year on LW252 back in the 90's. Utter monotony.

Round 1/Match 38

Paris Hilton - Stars are Blind

Vs

Paddy Casey - Saints and Sinners

What happens when money, boredom and entitlement come together

Round 1/Match 39

Frankee - F U Right Back

Vs

Fast Food Rockers - The Fast Food Song

Possibly some idea behind it of female empowerment but hit every level of cringe within reach

Why I Hate It: My sister and brother knew I deplored this song when it came out, so as younger siblings tend to do they used sing it at me constantly. So annoying. :::::::: Just kill me now.

Round 1/Match 40

Coldplay - Yellow

Vs

David Bowie - The Laughing Gnome

I liked them later on when they started working with Brian Eno, but when this came out, I just couldn't stand his voice, and the videoclip didn't help either

that laugh is too freaky

Fr. Brian - Who's in da house? Vs Simply Red - Fairground
Paris Hilton - Stars are Blind Vs Paddy Casey - Saints and Sinners
Frankee - F U Right Back - Fast Food Rockers - The Fast Food Song
Coldplay - Yellow Vs David Bowie - The Laughing Gnome

Kolido · 07-05-2020 9:52am

Fr. Brian - Who's in da house, terrible
Paddy Casey - Saints and Sinners, that paris song is catchy
Fast Food Rockers - The Fast Food Song, like the other song.
David Bowie - The Laughing Gnome, again, like the other song.
