This thread is about crap songs made worse by annoying changes or parts. I hope this makes sense.

I thought about this when I recently heard "Kodachrome" by Paul Simon for the first time in ages. The song sucks plenty from the beginning, but it goes from bland crap to horrifically irritating crap when it speeds up toward the end. The vocal delivery during this part of the song is especially bad. "Kodachrome" is maybe the best example of this phenomenon I can think of.

"Rag Doll" by Aerosmith may be the worst song I've ever heard. There are two points at which it is elevated into even higher echelons of crap. The first is when Steven Tyler says "come on up and see me" like Mae West; the second is when the scat singing comes in.

What are some other songs that do this? At which point do these songs become worse? I am curious!

This one.

1'09, when the guy barks his first 'come on'.

1'25, he starts rapping.

goddammit. this is not what i want to have stuck in my head upon waking. as far as thread topic, i like metallica's '...and justice for all,' but i've always been really irritated by the ascending bit in "to live is to die" that sounds like a barbershop quartet doing a couple of rounds of "oh my darling clementine."

The name of this thread would make a great album title.

Haha...my friend Keith made the cut in that video.

I've always hated 'Free Bird'. Starts off all slow and sad but then gets all happy and fast at the end.

Fuck that song.
