I am driving home today in my 91 Escort with only a radio to listen to....I am stuck in the god damn traffic again and I hear the song 'One week' by the Barenaked Ladies played.
At some point I started paying attention and came to the realization that this is the gayest, lamest song EVER recorded in the history of recorded music. No doubt about it. He's rapping at one point over some strum-strum acoustic guitar funk, then this disgusting chorus with lyrics that make no sense whatsoever just random words.
It's absolutely pristine in it's lameness, just a focused laser of gay.
It was a big hit, I guess.

So tell me, what's your vote for lamest song you've ever heard in your entire life?
I must limit this to actual bands, no pop starlets or Celine Dion whatnot.
Actual bands who sat down and wrote a song.

Joe Esposito - You're The Best Around

Hands down it would be "Michelangelo" by Three Crosses.

No one here probably knows what the fuck I'm talking about -- which is a good thing -- but suffice it to say lyrically speaking this song makes "What If God Was One of Us?" seem like "Stories of the Street". Don't have the time right now to continue this tirade, so... some other time perhaps.

This is so difficult...

...there are so many lame "rock" songs on the radio right now that it's truly hard to quantify levels of suck in each song. Every one is just unbelievably generic, horrible trash for poseurish simpletons...

That said, I'll go with "Hold On" by Good Charlotte. I had the misfortune to happen upon it once while surfing the radio and was truly shocked at how awful it was. I mean...it's like therapist-rock. So unbelievably wimpy, cliched, trite, and above all banal that it simply has no reason to exist.

Anything by Staind. The worst shit imaginable.

That song by Weezer where he talks about Beverly Hills and about that being where he wants to be.

Or "Pretty Fly For A White Guy" by Offspring.

Those songs suck.

Those guys are really horrible. Is the song you're talking about the one that says something like its been...one week since you looked at me, etc?

I hate the one where he talks about the Chinese chicken more. I used to have to hear that all the time in college. It was very popular. Not with me though.

Try comparing every song you hear to this standard:

See how close they come and quantify them that way. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't.
