[Music] Worst song ever by a respected artist/band

[Easy 10]

De Do Do Do De Da Da Da - The Police

Which basically proves that if a group is 'in' they can shift almost anything, dreadful song

"That was The Police with 'Doo Doo Doo Daa Daa Daa', their gibberish classic, and its my tribute to Her Majestys police"

- Alan Partridge

 

[Lower West Stander]

Happy Talk - Captain Sensible

What was that all about?

This one is controversial but I'm going on 'respected' as in established and high-selling.

Robbie Williams. Dominated the early-mid 2000's with HIT after HIT. His success can't be doubted, no matter what you think of him.

And then he released Rudebox

What about this? It's one of those songs that fascinates me by virtue of how bad it is. The lyrics are amazing.

Much of Paul McCartney's post-Beatles career consisted of trite shite. I'm thinking The Frog Song, Mull Of Kintyre, just about everything Wings.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

 

[Postman Pat]

Happy Talk - Captain Sensible

What was that all about?

Respected artist/band?

Boris the Spider - The Who

 

[The Large One]

The Beach Boys' version of 'Seasons In The Sun' is so abominable I can't even bring myself to post a link.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Chuck Berry - My Ding-A-LIng

WTF

 

[BN9 BHA]

Happy Talk - Captain Sensible

What was that all about?

Did Captain Sensible do anything decent as a solo artist though?

 

[spring hall convert]

Double post.

 

[catfish]

Got to be The Beatles with Ob-la-di Ob-la-da, hasn't it?

I think it was Eamon Andrews who introduced the Beatles on his show, reading off a cue card, and pronounced it 'Oh bloody Oh bladder'.

 

[ManOfSussex]

I know it was for 'charidee mate' but WTF were these two thinking.....................

 

[spring hall convert]

How about two for the price of one?

Boris the Spider - The Who

You obviously weren't around in the late 70s or don't like The Damned.....

 

[vegster]

Laughing Gnome, anyone?

I, for one, thought Bowies career ended at that point.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Whiney bastids Supertramp - Breakfast In America

Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
Never seem to get a lot

Class lyrics right there

I've actually met Ray a few times, his drummer used to be in a band I sang in (along with Johnny Moped) so he came to watch us a few times, just don't think many people would put him in the 'respected artist' category.

I love Royal Blood, but imho How Did We Get So Dark (song, not album) is very weak (for them)

 

[maffew]

I like Muse, I love dubstep. Though their attempt at recreating it with Unsustainable was well, Unsustainable just doesnt work
