Worst song ever?

[JerryR]

Jerry; looks like you've just been sprung after dropping a sneaky fart !!

( Through clenched teeth) "Wasn't me, wasn't me !! "

Gary - my daddy always taught me - when dropping one in public becomes inevitable, sidle up behind a little old lady before releasing it - everyone (including the lady) will think its her :mrgreen:

 

[coastie99]

A sound plan Jerry, but I'd ruin it by laughing !!

I would like to Nominate OH Death by Dr Ralph Stanley. I HATE MORBID SONGS OF ALL KINDS AND THIS IS THE MOST MORBID SONG I HAVE EVER HEARD!!!!!!!

 

[southernGuild]

:lol: Fair enough call Jim.......But, can you imagine the hilarity that you could cause to all the nursing staff etc, if you just break out in singing that song ( stone faced, and in your best Dr. Ralph Stanley voice!) at the pre-op!! :lol: THAT would be something NOBODY there would ever EVER forget! :lol: youd leave THEM in stitches!
Or is it just my 'high-lonesome" sence of humour?
keep smiling! Southern :wink:

 

[dreadnut]

Mrs. Dread is right there with you on that one, Jimbow! :lol: Of course, she hates anything by Ralph!

I've got a couple more to add to the list:

"Yummy yummy yummy, I've got love in my tummy" (I don't even want to think about the implications of that!)

And one I actually heard on the radio yesterday, "Ringo" by Lorne Greene. Where's that puking smilie? At least he didn't sing it :lol:

 

[killdeer43]

Thanks to the magic of DVD/CD technology, whenever I get to the part where Ralph Stanley "sings" I hit the skip button.
Oh Death, indeed. :roll:

Any one post this yet? Group is Sweet (hardly!) and that memorable hit... :roll:

North side, east side
Little Willy, Willy wears the crown, he's the king around town
Dancing, glancing
Willy drives them silly with his star shoe shimmy shuffle down
Way past one, and feeling alright
'Cause with little Willy round they can last all night
Hey down, stay down, stay down down

'Cause little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy round
Willy won't go, try tellin' everybody but, oh no
Little Willy, Willy won't go home

Be afraid, be very afraid... :?

You just reminded me of another unforgettable song.
"Little Black Egg"

 

[kevin the bass man]

two words:
Adam Lambert!!!!! :? :shock:

You just reminded me of another unforgettable song.
"Little Black Egg"

Ah yes, I remember:

"I won't let them stretch their necks
To see my little black egg with the little white specks.
I found it in a tree just the other day,
Now it's mine all mine, they can't take it away.
Oh my, what can I do ? Little black egg's gonna tell on you."

Well, it was the 60's after all

How about Nancy Snotra "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'"

+1
My wife thought of that one on our way home today.
Great minds..... :wink:

Maybe I'm out of it, but I kind of like "These Boots Are Made for Walking". A local duo sings it and they do it nicely, albeit a bit tongue in cheek. As mentioned in another thread they cut short their own set to see the David Rawlings Machine, as they walked into the venue the background music was.......you guessed it, "These Boots Are Made for Walking". I told the female half that they knew she was coming.
Amazed that "Oh Death" is on the list, you may not like it but it is not a BAD song in the way that "Little Willie" or "Little Black Egg" is. Then again Emmy Lou is one of my favorites, and an unkind reviewer once called her "The Queen of Remorse", so you can gather I like sad songs. At 66+ "Oh Death" does have a certain resonance.

I love to sing/listen to a sad song. They're some of my favorites for the stories in their lyrics.
Long Black Veil is pretty darned sad, but I love it, and Oh Death might be good if sung by anyone but Ralph Stanley. :roll:

[Paddlefoot]

Well I have a couple that always send me to speak with Ralph about a Buick. Bohemian Rapsody will do it every time. If I then switch to the country station and happen to hear Kenny Rogers doing "Coward Of The Country" I sunk 'cause there will be nothin' left to hurl.

Then there is "Muskrat Love" by The Captain & Tennille. :roll:

One of the biggest bar-band songs of the mid- to late-60s!

The chord structure is what everyone dug. No one really listened to the words!

 

[Sats]

Sorry if I'm being redundant, as I haven't read all the posts, but:

"Candy Man" by Sammy Davis, Jr. It's just creepy.

"Seasons in the Sun" by Terry Jacks. Ick.

"Sometimes When We Touch" by Dan Hill. Uber-ick. Perhaps Turbo-ick.

"Delta Dawn" by Helen Reddy. To those who have already voted: Yes, you are correct.

"Muskrat Love" by Captain and Tennille. "Nibbling on bacon, chewin' on cheese / Sammy says to Susie "Honey, would you please be my missus?" Oh, my... (I am now chewing on my own arm).

"Enter Sandman" by Pat Boone. WTF? Uh, I need to get medicated.
