Again, similar to my other thread, what is the SINGLE MOST cruddy song of the 80's for you; the one song guaranteed to make you want to stab your eardrums out with a pencil?
Ones for consideration:
Joe Dulche - Shaddapa a ya face (die die die!) Visage - Fade to Grey (pretentious twaddle) Chris De Burgh - Lady in Red (I don't care! Go away!)
Yours?

I tend to like Fade to Grey, but I can understand if you live in the UK, they play it more there.
I happen to hate Mickey. I hate Take On Me, unless I have been drinking. There are a few more, I'll get back to this.

I'd have to say Red, Red Wine. Oh how I despised that song.

There are many, many bad songs from the 80s. Most of them are fine if you only ever hear them the once. The problem was, these songs tended to get played over and over again, and became like a fork scraping the bottom of a metal saucepan....
Mickey is one, definately. Happy Birthday by Altered Images is another. Great to hear once, not great at all to hear five times in an hour. And I'm a fan.
songs that I can't even bear to hear once now? I can think of three - and no doubt it will gather disagreements:
3. fight For The Right - Beastie Boys. Now wtf was that all about. All it did was to make a bunch of shouty yobs rich and encourage 50% of Britain's youth to steal the VW badges off any beetle, Golf or Polo they could find.....
2. Kissing With Confidence - Will Powers.
1. The only song I ever physically lifted from the turntable and snapped in half. Down Under, by Men At Work. Yeeech!

Starship's Sarah gets my vote. While usually they get slammed more for We Built This City, I consider this far worse by several miles. Honestly, what kind of lyrics are, "No time is a good time for revise?" Grace Slick's singing from 1 to 10 on Sesame Street's Jazzy Spies segements was more lyrically mature than this.

Knife - don't know who the H*!# sang that song, but he sure sounds like a big looser to me. "knife,cuts like a knife How will I ever live I'm so deeply wounded" - I think I'm in nursery/Kindy when I heard this song and still up to now I hate it.
Tarzan Boys - don't know the artist. The only word you can hear in the chorus is "Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh" I can visualized Chita not Tarzan.
Shake Buddy Buddy Dancer - Don't know the artist but I've seen the video and it's far worst than the song.
I hope these make sense to some Posts: 29 | From: Sydney | Registered: Sep 2006 | Site Updates: 0
