“Worst song ever” discourse

[Anonymous]

Come On Eileen is the worst and most annoying song ever.

It's not bad, but definitely creepy!

Build Me Up, Buttercup.

Sweet Caroline

All of these songs are dumb but inoffensive.
The worst song I can think of is "Shake that Laffy Taffy." A song made to be a ring tone on your Sprint phone.

I really like the song in the video and I’m not sure why you’re posting something from a bigot.

Anyway Sweet Melissa and everything by Duran Duran

I kind of like "Home." This is a silly argument, anyway. Everyone is bound to have a different perspective.

Yummy Yummy Yummy I've Got Love in My Tummy.

None of these come close, in my opinion, to Captain and Tennille's "Muskrat Love." The epitome (or nadir) of 70s schmaltz.

Please please me by the Beatles is horrid

What's going on by 4 Non Blondes is the worst song in the history of civilisation. Tubthumping by Chunbawunba sucks too.

What are they called now …) went viral where a guy dug up an old Tiny Desk clip of a “2010s stomp clap hey folk revival” song called Home, by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, and called it the worst song ever made.

Now I mean I don’t think it’s great and I wouldn’t seek out this song to listen to. It’s annoying, even the studio version is annoying, this performance is particularly annoying. I associate the song now with TV commercials and stuff. But I don’t think you can say it’s in the conversation for “worst song ever made” when we have stuff like MmmBop, James Blunt’s “You’re Beautiful,” most of the songs that the American Idol winners released after they won - remember Sorry 2004 by Ruben Studdard??? What about everything that’s ever come out of Megan Trainor’s mouth? Dance Monkey??

What are your thoughts on the worst song ever made?

I hate all this Mumford and Sons type crap.

This song in the video is reasonably cute and catchy.

Worst: The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

+1 for Try That in a Small Town, it's a disgusting racist whistle call.

I also offer up the Thong Song by Sisqo
