Top 50 worst songs ever.


#50 CÉLINE DION
“My Heart Will Go On” 1998
And on and on and on…

Felix Says: "Never has a song about all-consuming love sounded so trivial and been so inescapable — it powered the Titanic soundtrack to a year-topping 10 million copies sold, and made millions more pray that an iceberg would somehow hit Dion."

Bol C Says: VH1 frontin' on Céline Dion is like Puerto Rican people frontin' on pointy red shoes. I know a lot of you only started watching VH1 when it became cute (Milli Vanilli Behind the Music), but this bitch was VH1 Artist of the Year two years straight once (AFAIK the only time that's ever happened).

The Verdict: It's the fucking soundtrack to Titanic. What was this supposed to be "Smells Like Teen Spirit?"



#49 RIGHT SAID FRED
“I’m Too Sexy” 1992
The answer to Spinal Tap’s question “What’s wrong with being sexy?”

Felix Says: "Right Said Fred were horrible, bald novelty Brits whose one claim to fame was a song that announced that they were 'too sexy' for most things, from 'New York' to 'my cat.'"

Bol C Says: So many of the songs on this list were just dumb novelty songs to begin with. It's like a one hit wonders list crossed with a bad songs list.

The Verdict: OK, it's bad. And gay too.




#48 THE BEATLES
“Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” 1968
You can practically hear them gritting their teeth

Felix Says: "...this sounds less like reggae than the desperately chirpy songs Cockneys used to sing to keep their spirits up while the Luftwaffe rained death on them during the Blitz."

Bol C Says: And that makes it bad?

The Verdict: Obviously they put this on here to stir up controversy.


Funny stuff, More here.

8. Short memory.
They left out most of the 1970s. Good 70s music was probably the best rock ever written, but bad 70s music was absolutely horrible.

Muskrat Love, Having My Baby, Wildflower, Do the Hustle, YMCA. Nuff said.
