Minus TEN

Absolute DOG EGG

 

[VV]

Just a zero from me. I'd be quite happy never to hear it again.

Minus TEN

Absolute DOG EGG

Proper road biscuit

 

[Dark Carnival]

Haven’t heard it in a DECADE!

Yet still gets the lowest possible score though.

 

[octophone]

Absolute gnu shit.

@FestiveGiraffe🎄🦒 being VERY GENEROUS there

 

[VoR]

Just the absolute dregs of popular music.

@FestiveGiraffe🎄🦒 being VERY GENEROUS there

I don't VISCERALLY hate it, so I feel like the lowest scores aren't appropriate.

 

[Alla]

It has to be the most overplayed song in history, for sure. This cover lacks everything the original had, which isn't that bad. Terrible.

 

[Devil]

Read something the other day that Pete Waterman Kicks himself for not getting Steps to do it.
Even they couldn’t make it good, but a world with LSL giving it a bash would’ve been more palatable.

Ooh, are we posting better songs with the same name? Because there's also this:

(Possibly a decent one for the 'good straight music' thread also)

Liza’s is the same song!

 

[COB]

Well they're both better than Toploader, which is the main thing

 

[Penelope]

My least favourite song of all time. Fuck off and die.

 

[RJN]

I'm sorry but I don't get the hate

 

[Diddy]

I'm sorry but I don't get the hate

This leads me to think most of the hate comes from terminal overplay and associations with Jamie Oliver

Or he’s just deaf

 

[Diddy]

I don’t need to hear it ever again

I’m not sure Toploader were the issue (well maybe his voice), I liked Achilles Heel

Why did they name their band after a type of washing machine?

 

[straightorbroken]

Dancing in the Moonlight (and pushed off a cliff).

 

[Iguana]

My least favourite song of all time. Fuck off and die.

Same. The way people whoop if it comes on at a shit party sends me

 

[Sheena]

My least favourite alongside Come on Eileen.

Absolute DRECK.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

WORST SONG EVER

Did I tell you about that time I HECKLED them?

 

[Sheena]

I literally got in the car this morning, Heart 80s came on and it was Simply Red, so I flicked to Heart 90s and it was something else rubbish that I forget now, so I moved to Heart 00s and it was an advert ending and I said "WHY IS EVERYTHING SHIT THIS MORNING?" at my radio and almost instantly, THIS came on

I almost just turned back and went home THERE AND THEN.

They are named after the practice of putting all of the weed at one end of a joint so that you get all of it and your friends don't get any. Because they are edgy.

I don't know why I know that.

WORST SONG EVER

GO ON...

 

[Cerro de Casa]

GO ON...

They were playing some SHITTY festival type thing locally and I kept shouting 'CAN'T FIGHT the MOONLIGHT' at them
The lead singer actually acknowledged and went, 'haha funny guy'

It's one of my proudest achievements in life.

I don't know why I know that.

So the signs of them being a shower of dicks were there from the very start.

I'm sorry but I don't get the hate

You didn't experience the hideous ubiquity of the song for a 5 year period following its release. The novelty - as thin as it was - wore off VERY fast.

 

[Lucille]

I can’t explain it but it sounds TORY.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

You can just imagine Coffey and Quince dropping it at one of the infamous Tory karaoke parties.

 

[GNL]

I can’t explain it but it sounds TORY.

 

[Inner Smile]

I'm sorry but I don't get the hate

Well done Bobby lad for not being a sheep

 

[Shoat]

It's all far too offensively HEART FM

Achilles Heel however was surprisingly fab

 

[jyxz]

Can you guess what track is on first…

Hateful

 

[AGinAg (38)]

Most of the voters who gave this a mark higher than 0, are either not British or too young to remember the horror of it all.
