Some truly, TRULY terrible shit in this thread, but I still maintain I'd rather hear 500 miles and get furious than ever hear a James Taylor song and feel absolutely nothing

When I was 22 I lived in London for the summer. I was once at a dance club and a woman approached me and told me her friend was interested in me and that her friend thought I looked like the Proclaimers.

How was I suppose the respond to that one?

Fortunately, I have never heard of The Vengaboys.  Unfortunately, now I have.

Smashing Pumpkins Bullet With Butterfly Wings and Porno For Pyros Pets aren’t really terrible songs, but it’s about 30 years later (!) and lyrics like ‘Despite all my rage I’m still just a rat in a cage’ and ‘We’ll make great pets’ will pop into my head and mess up my day. 

Another one is U2 Stuck in a Moment.  It sounds like it should be a good song but it just doesn’t work and I hate when it gets stuck in my head . . .and I can’t get out of it as it were

I randomly get Christmas songs in my head all year long, but I unironically love Christmas songs, so I never mind.

Usually it's random, out of left field songs…so random I almost have no idea why they pop into my head.  But thanks to this thread and me racking my brain to find a song, it forced that awful 4 Non Blondes song into my brain.  Thanks!


Stopped for some pizza and a beer at Cushwa Brewery after a hike. They are playing this song right now. Ughh

I like that song!

Unaware of this thread, my wife announced at dinner that she had a terrible song in her head and asked us to guess it.

I guessed We Didn't Started thr Fire.

My daughter guessed Baby Shark.

And apparently my mind-reading kid was right.

I'd argue that Billy Joel has written far, far worse songs than "You May Be Right". Is it an abomination? I'd argue that "We Didn't Start The Fire" or "The Longest Time" are atrocities that should be banished into a black hole. Anything remotely awful that I abhor (pretty much anything from the "Cocktail" soundtrack, Starship, etc.) that I accidentally hear usually means my brain gets a cleanse with "Bazooka Joe" by Big Black, "Nervous Breakdown" by Black Flag or "Green Light" by Sonic Youth.


The worst song in history, according to Steve Albini. Though it looks like the artist might beat him into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

I can relate
Although I might choose we built this city over anything in the Cher catalog

And that dose of despair is one he has never recovered from since, every time he hears the wail of ‘Believe’, he’s left with the sickening weight of a dystopia descending unchecked – often celebrated, even – in a world gone awry, blinded by catchiness, and ludicrous headwear

It Takes Two-Rob Base

I hated this song when it was popular. It has never grown on me.

Note: The only time you will have hear this song is at a Wizards game.

It grew on me and it has the greatest downbeat in popular music history.

This thread is horrible.
I regret every single time I open it and read the song and then can’t get out of my head.
