What are some of the worst songs recorded by great singers/groups?

You don't like "Squeeze Box" by The Who? I'm sorry, but I don't think that anyone who doesn't like "Squeeze Box" can trash any type of music.

The Beatles' worst song is probably "Mister Moonlight"...not one of their own compositions

"Mary Queen of Arkansas" off of Bruce Springsteen's first record is about as bad as bad gets.

McCartney did some absolutely terrible songs in the 80s, especially those clunkers he did with the King of Pop.

The Girl is Mine, Ebony and Ivory -- unlistenable.

Squeeze Box is the worst hit song by the Who by far. Mary, Queen of Arkansas does suck. The only Beatles song I don't like is Revolution #9; I don't care how many assholes tell me I just don't get it. It almost ruins the White Album for me

The only artist I can think of without a few poor songs,to me, is Van Morrison. (And I'm sick of Brown-Eyed Girl)

After Purple Rain Prince released that awful Around the World in a Day with the track The Ladder which has to be the biggest pile of pretentious crap on vinyl/disc

Once upon a time in the land of Sinaplenty

There lived a king who didn't deserve 2 be

He knew not where he came from

Nor where he was going

He never once said thank U, never please

Now this king he had a subject named Electra

Who loved him with a passion, uncontested

4 him each day she had a smile

But it didn't matter

The king was looking 4 the ladder

Everybody's looking 4 the ladder

Everybody wants salvation of the soul

The steps U take are no easy road

But the reward is great

4 those who want 2 go

I'd rather snuggle up to a snake than listen to his bladder.

amazing

I can't stand Dizzy Miss Lizzy by the Beatles. What makes it worse is that it follows Yesterday on Help. The good mood Yesterday leaves me with is always dashed away with that terrible repetitious guitar part.

Bob Dylan had quite a few lousy songs

We Are The World

Dogs of War by Pink Floyd.

Of course that was after Waters left. I'd have to say Seamus was pretty bad too.

After this, he got a pass for a couple songs.

I knew a girl named nikki

I guess u could say she was a sex fiend

I met her in a hotel lobby

Masturbating with a magazine

She said howd u like 2 waste some time

And I could not resist when I saw little nikki grind

She took me 2 her castle

And I just couldnt believe my eyes

She had so many devices

Everything that money could buy

She said sign your name on the dotted line

The lights went out

And nikki started 2 grind

Nikki

The castle started spinning

Or maybe it was my brain

I cant tell u what she did 2 me

But my body will never be the same

Her lovin will kick your behind

Oh, shell show u no mercy

But shell shonuff shonuff show u how 2 grind

Darlin nikki

Woke up the next morning

Nikki wasnt there

I looked all over and all I found

Was a phone unmber on the stairs

It said thank u 4 a funky time

Call me up whenever u want 2 grind

Oh, nikki, ohhhh

Come back nikki, come back

Your dirty little prince

Wanna grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind

{backwards at the end...}

Hello, how r u? Im fine. cause I know

That the lord is coming soon, coming, coming soon.

"Gomper" by the Rolling Stones, which you probably haven't heard of and with good reason, is pretty awful. It's on "Their Satanic Majesties Request"

This drivel by Macca deserves a mention

C Moon C Moon C Moon Is She.

C Moon C Moon C Moon To Me.

How Come No One Older Than Me

Ever Seems To Understand The Things I Wanna To Do?

It Will Be L7 And I'd Never Get To Heaven

If I Filled My Head With Glue

What's It All To You?

C Moon, C Moon, C Moon Is She

C Moon, C Moon, C Moon To Me

Bobby Lived With Patty

But They Never Told Her Daddy

What Their Love Was All About

She Could Tell Her Lover That He Thought But

She Never Was The Type To Let It Out

What's It All About?

C Moon, C Moon, Oh C Moon Are We

C Moon, C Moon, C Moon Are We

yeah tell us what's it all about oh great one. Anybody know what the C stands for - apart from the obvious?

one of the best SNL bits ever (certainly the best with Joe Piscapo)

you all have the gayest taste in music ever.

How about worst songs written by worst singers?

James Blunt - anything he sings.
