Writer's Block: Kill the music
Jan. 25th, 2010 12:15 pm[Error: unknown template qotd]
As with the movie question in the past week, there are so many bad songs that are SO BAD that I really enjoy them. What exactly constitutes "absolute worst song ever written?" If it has a catchy hook, isn't that better than a tone-deaf composition? While I despise "My Humps" by Black Eyed Peas, I would never say it was a horribly written song. HOrrible lyrics, possibly, but the song isn't really "bad."
As far as the song that would make me writhe in agony...there is a close race between a few songs. Any rendition of "American Pie" is total torture to me. The few Heidi Montag songs I've heard would be considered "cruel and unusual punishment" if a court of law ever used her tracks in a criminal sentence. And while I never recall hearing the mix in the 80's I completely HATE the version of "Tainted Love" with "Where Did Our Love Go" blended into the end.
