The cobbler always wears the worst shoes

Me and BFF's  current project is very time consuming.

We often stay up late at night, drained, weaving through lists upon lists of statistics we have gathered.

That's right, we are making a list. A list of songs that should be wiped off the face of the earth. And another list for artists with the same affliction.

We spent numerous hours walking up and down the streets, knocking on doors, phoning random numbers in the phone book, harassing our professors at school and finally, the list has been born.

Hopefully, some of you out there in Journal Land can help us out by sending us some more appalling ballads, or even better, the bastards that sing them.

The Ultimate Shitty Song List:

1. "Dancing on the Cieling" by Lionel Richie, nominated by Anthony aka BFF

2. "Sometimes When We Touch," by Dan Hill, nominated by Yours Truly

3. "The Candy Man" by Sammy Davis, Jr., nominated by DH

4. "Maniac" by Hall and Oates, nominated by Froggiegirl205654

5. "Who Let The Dogs Out" by  Baha Men, nominated by Everyone!

6. "Macarena" by Los Del Rios, nominated again, by Everyone!

7. "Fun Fun Fun" by The Beach Boys, nominated by Rakiki27

8. "Mambo #5" by Lou Bega, nominated by Everyone Whose Ever Heard The Song.

And now for the Ultimate Shitty Singers List:

1. Michael Bolton

2. Barbra Streisand

3. Yanni

4. J-Lo

5. Sisqo

6. Lou Bega

7. Chumbawumba

8. Rush

 

And there you have it. The list will continuously be updated, since shitty songs will never stop being released.

Have a lovely day.

Does anyone else think that all these dolled-up teenage pop princesses do not deserfve their time to shine? They might be able to act (?) but don't take the leap to vocal entertainer unless you've got the voice box and the lyrics to back it up. Gone are the songs of drugs, alcohol, and self loathing. For the list of Worst Songs Ever I submit all male and female artists between the age of 14-18 from 2000 on. For the list of Worst Songs Ever, I submit the afroementioned's complete works.
