You couldn't escape it if you tried. This song reached a rare, Halley's Comet-level of awful that has yet to be topped. It is the Holocaust of music, and as such, should be preserved for future generations to hear and vow: "Never Again." The original song is enough of an abortion on its own, but this... this... Jesus Christ--this masterpiece of suck had been intercut with samples of sportscaster knuckleheads engaging in the worst kind of hyperbole imaginable. Just mind-bogglingly horrible.

Mark McGwire Masturbation Sports-Mix of Creed's "Higher" = The worst song I have ever heard in my life.

It is worth noting that the singer for Creed has a posse of bros that enter bars before him and ask everyone not to look at him. Because...

Truth.

Any UK band's song about "the critics". Silence is Easy by Starsailor, Mr Writer by Stereophonics, Anyone Can Play Guitar by Radiohead. etc.

So many cringes.

You know, when somebody asks you to list off the lamest shit you've ever heard, it's often kind of hard to dredge up in your mind all the shit you'd rather forget on demand.

Be that as it may:

"This Love" by Maroon 5, which has been played incessantly on the radio for the past two years, has got to be among the top.

Scissor Sisters "Don't Feel like Dancing", which has inexplicably made it huge in Great Britain, has got to be another top ten candidate.

Back in the day, The Dave Mathew Band's "What did you Say" used to be one of my major annoyers, as was the Mighty Mighty Bosstones' "Impression that I get."

Moby's Thats When I Reach For My Revolver.

The original was something that I'd tend to skip anyway. But Moby's version is the audio equivalent of a crinkly but moist hippy dick with the word "namedrop" tattooed in henna on its diminutive shaft.

Smashmouth - All star

This song is haunted. It will sporatically enter my head for no apparent reason. It happens quite often. Just the chorus, over and over and over.

I read the title of this thread, and without even thinking, *poof*, that chorus is now in my head. Looped.

HELLO!

Has no one had 'Everything I Do, I Do It For Cash' by Bryan Adams yet?
The saddest thing is that all of the songs mentioned here would make the biggest selling compilation CD that Xmas shopping has ever seen.

We Built This City and Nothings Gonna Stop Us Now are songs that make me wanna vomit all over my own penis.

Not sure if it's eligible but Loving You by Minnie Ripperton is another song that make me want to kill myself with a hammer.

Ok, I believe I have a winner.

The thing that you you chaps are forgetting is that for every 'Final Countdown' and 'Everything I do' there is a b-side, and album tracks and out-takes. So my initial reaction to this challenge was 'well, the answer is obviously Scottish band (yes, SCOTTISH, not BRITISH) Stiltskin with that track from the advert which became a global hit...I know, I'll furnish my post with a link to the track so as to remind anybody brave enough to click it just how fucking horrible it was'.

I went to YouTube (my tube, everybody's got a tube) and did a quick search, and my perverse curiosity lead me to unwisely click a different track...

...and that was when I discovered the lamest song I've ever heard in my life.

This song is lame on not one, not two, but three levels.

1 The music is lame.

2 The lyrics are lame.

3 The lyrics (written and performed by Stiltskin remember, a band who were formed AFTER the guitarist had written and recorded a song for a Levis advert, so that they could perform the song since it had become famous, thanks to the advert) are about how 'fame' must be earned, and not just greedily snatched by talentless bimbos who become famous by..you know...appearing on a TV show...or maybe A FUCKING ADVERT.

And they say Americans don't do irony.
