Rules: You must sit through the music clip posted in its entirety. You cannot skip or get up and do stuff. Once you have gotten all the way through in one sitting, you may post the next clip. Of course there's no way of verifying whether you really did sit all the way though, but just be good sports ;) It's also good to post some assessment of the previous song. Also, posts from those who make failed attempts and comment on the song they couldn't make it through are welcome ;)

 

Also, if someone makes it through the little beauty I'm kicking it off with, don't just select songs based on length- go for a song which you find hard to make it through because of something to do with the song itself.

 

 

Try this one out:

I've never gotten all the way through this one:

 

Try a band we could see a lot of here:

 

 

(No joke- once at a Halloween party, instead of playing spooky music, I compiled a big batch of dreadful songs, My Heart Will Go On and Sometimes When We Touch and so on. It worked great, there were actual howls of "Oh no!" and so on from people when certain things came on. They didn't mind either because they understood the joke was that I was playing horrifying music for Halloween.)

 

Anyway, try this next one, which is pretty damn horrible. It is known best for the immortal couplet

 

"Touch my bum

This is life"

 

 

Edit: Oh, I made it through both of the last two. They weren't so bad. In fact the gummi song is kind of cute, it's not meant as a serious piece of music.

 

Second Edit: In fact, the more of this stuff I'm exposed too, the harder and harder I'll be to horrify. It's like a way of building musical stamina so that you no longer suffer a heart attack when someone plays Westlife in the vicinity.

 

OMG, their mom wrote that. What a family.

 

We keep bashing modern pop, but the past has its horrors too. This sets my teeth on edge.

 

 

Did anyone do the Annie Lennox?

But if we're talking bad live performances, we can't beat this classic epically bad performance of Europe's The Final Countdown.

 

The whole thing remember ;)

 

 

Also, why do people who make videos for avant-garde music always fill it with such psuedo-intellectual w**kery?

 

This song however is the bane of my life:

 

 

My heart is still palpitating.

I first saw that clip on rage and I was just like, "I have to remember that name." 

And you're right, every note is either flat or sharp. 

 

 

MIckey by Toni Basil is a classic in kitsch, and nowhere near as bad as these others here - but anyway in the 80s it was a huge hit in Australia, and silly fun really. I easily watched that for the hilarious facial expressions and manic choreography.

 

 

 

 

huge hit some years back and shows how to become a manufactured one hit wonder

 

 

 

 

another one hit curio hated by many

the clip is atrocious though they sound sugar sweet and enthusiastic!

 

 

 

another

 

 

here they are again

 

I guess its eye candy if you turn the sound down

 

 

actually I am getting used to them now... AAAgh!

 

one more then-

 

and no comments on how hot they are - this is about the music .................. isnt it? hmmm.... lOl

 

 

sit thru it all - it does not improve....

 

and this is great.... punk.

The chorus...........Holy Mack!
