With David Lee Roth rejoining Van Halen, I cast my vote for "Panama.""Panama"? WTF?

Actually, I just heard it again on youtube and...it's not so bad after all. It certainly seemed like the worst song of the century when it hit the charts in 198X.
I love TRIO and that song.......It is intentionally minimalistic....a social commentary, - a la DEVO: who gets my vote as one of these greatest bands to ever come out of the USA. So, - I guess that that is where I'm coming from...
Thanks for the link!!
Cheers,
If it's not love, then it's the bomb that'll bring us together
Love the Trio.
absolutely grates on my nerves. I had actually forgotten about that song until this thread. When I was younger and that song came on the radio we'd sing Die Die Die.
You're from the USA right?How about "Barbie Girl" from Aqua?
Watching the reel as it comes to a close,
Brutally taking it's time,
People who change for no reason at all,
It's happening all of the time.
ROCKS so HARD!!!Well, - no, - but it's a bloody, f&*king great song!!!!
killed me dead...

one in this entire list. They are all putrid. OFF TOPIC: There is a grat putrid song, King of Rock and Roll by, who welse, Prefab Sprout. The lyrics are TERRIBLE, I always hated it!!!Hot dog, jumping frog. Albaquerqe!!!
But then I read its about a rock an roller who one night writes a horrible crap song, and it is a huge hit, like these. And he spends the rest of his miserable career going out infront of audiences singing that horrible song he is ashamed of.

Call me crazy, but I actually like the lyrics of that song as well. Not all tacky is bad.
Potomime rock.
nt
I love U2, but that song was horrendous.
bleep
"PAAAASS THE DUTCHIE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE..." LOL!
That was a remake of "Pass the Koochie" by the Mighty Diamonds, which was a pleasant enough reggae song with a killer bass line and horn arrangement...Now you know...Shame on you!
Calculated foolishness from bands that knew better.Hated them when they came out, and every damn time they were, and have been, played on the radio.
One of the few good rock songs to have the verse in 7/4 time vs. one that everybody loves with a great guitar solo. You must be trolling.
Every Rose Has It's Thorn
Up All Night, Sleep All Day
Love of a Lifetime
Dead or Alive (isn't that the name of Bon Jovi's "cowboy" song?)
Get It On (The Kingdome Come song, not the Chase, T-Rex or Marvin Gaye number)
Of course, Bodily Dismemberment by Rigor Mortis takes bad to new levels, but it wasn't a hit, nor does it have a hook, so I'll leave it off.
Certainly not in the same league as a Poison, Trixter, or Winger tune! Much better crafted.
"Slippery When Wet".....
IMO
by "Little Jimmy Osmond", bless him.
It was the intro music for Ramon Hernandez when he caught for the Padres in '04 and '05.
a song that redefined "lousy" and about as appealing as a bucket of week-old puke.I gotta add votes for "You Light Up My Life" and "Afternoon Delight." They stink but "Feelings" leads the pack.
maybe the Martian Hop.
(C)RAP, utterly uselesss, with no musicianship at all...
.Why Don't We steal Away? What a Fool Believes?
Most responses people give in such polls are "socially acceptable." But if given the choice of listening to "Afternoon Delight" or an Eminem tune, I'll take "Afternoon Delight" every time.
Do you really think that?
You must have just gotten old...
In order to really stick in the mind as a worst song ever, an infectious hook capable of inducing earworms must be present. Something as rythmically based as rap just doesn't have the subconscious staying power, at least for me, and when hooks are present, they're often just lifted from tunes we were already familiar with.

RETCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
it really wasn't so long ago, it was just a twig....."You implanted it in my mind. Damnit.
the next 3 or four, all by Gary Puckett and the Union Gap, and "Ladies Night" by Cool and the Gang.
.
Jsut kidding, OK; calm down!!
I just wanted to see if anyone would read my post, OK? Chill.
...if you want someone killed and their house trashed, invite me to their house and have them plop "Lady In Red" on their system. My wife at the time bought that CD. She had a small but touching funeral.Muskrat Love has gotta be a close second followed by anything Neil Diamond ever sang.
.
bleep
.
bleep
Nothing could possibly cause a stronger emetic reaction than listening to these 2 sing Muskrat Love.
go to hell for bringing that one up. But hey, they have a comeback album coming out! (Seriously)
You came and you gave, without taking. But I sent you away, oh MandyI could mention a few other Barry Manilow songs, but why bother.
.
bleep
or.....wow, once you get going there is an endless list. Whatever list you end up with, you can't leave "Billy Don't Be A Hero" off of it.

No song gives me the creeps like that one....

Perhaps it will cure him.
"T-Bone" by Neil Young and Crazy Horse comes to mind..."Ain't got no T-Bone, got mashed potatoes" encompass the entire lyrics to the 8-9 minute song. Obnoxious as hell and VERY entertaining.
Some nice geetar work too!

....what the easiest rock song to cover was. Neil Young's "T-Bone" was my answer.But then again, for how monotonous the song was, it does have some warped charm to it.
I think a "bad" song isn't really bad when it's the artist's intention.

The Starland Vocal Band's "Afternoon Delight". Truly cringe-inducing music there. "Panama" ain't the best song in the world, but it does ROCK.
I have to agree that "Afternoon Delight" has got to be the worst song ever written and performed. Now that I have a decent stereo I cringe to think how it would sound on it!
Gawd, I just had a vision of some big box sales guy doing a demo of that song on a brand new pair of speakers with metal dome tweeters. It would cause massive ear damage.

I had a hunch there could have been a good song in there. The vocal was good, the theme was good, if it had good lyrics it could have been a cool song. But then if my mother was a Volkswagen, I would be parked in the parking lot. "No one gets to get it for free" OUCH!!!!!
... but let's not forget "Billy Don't Be a Hero".
go ahead and jump.
I might as well jump.
Great music composition, horrible lyrics.....Like VH, I kind of wish someone would take these songs, keep the musical composition intact, and just give the song different lyrics.....
