The OOT Worst Song Ever Poll

[RacersEdge]

A lot of these songs sucked because they tried to be rock songs. Where's the total lame soft rock songs like "Feelings"??

the clear answer is the Eddie Murphy song. Seriously, people who did not vote for it must not know about it; that's how bad it is.

I know and love this song.

How is Final Countdown a choice and Avril Lavagne's Sk8er Boi not?

[Duffman]

John Stamos - Forever

EDIT: Jesse and the Rippers(is that right?) - Forever.

I am very pleased to see that "Hollaback Girl" is leading the way.

I agree. Also, why is 'Like a Virgin' not in this group. I always hated it.


I was beat incomplete
I'd been had, i was sad and blue
But you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
Shiny and new

ugh!

Can we do a "worst poll ever" poll? That would be sweet.

I honestly don't see the problem with "Don't Worry, Be Happy".

I was a teenager when it was popular, and it was so severely overplayed it is ridiculous. That, and it is just [censored] annoying.

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Who was that worthless box of hair who sang "Butterfly Kisses"????

I still dry heave when it comes on.

What's Up (What's Going On?) - 4 Non Blondes

UGH! How did this song make this poll? This is a damn good tune - it better get zero votes! [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

It's amazing that these two posts are back to back

BECAUSE

"What's Up"'s verse is BLATANTLY plagiarism - the melody is taken directly from "Don't Worry, Be Happy"

Try it for yourself (there are some syllable differences, but the main melodic movement is nearly identical):

Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill
of hope
For a destination
And I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood
of man
For whatever that means


Here is a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry
be happy
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry,
be happy...


Linda Perry admitted to being very paranoid about her songwriting later because she was afraid her songs might sound like another song. She didn't steal the melody on purpose, but there's no mistaking the similarity.

As for this poll, neither song deserves to be on this list by a long shot.
