Ever since the Grammy's, I can't get that terrible Billy Joel song our of my head. Not the instantly forgettable new song that took him (with a co-writer) 30 years, three wives, and two families later to write...but the old "classic" that everyone loves..."You May Be Right."
Anyone have a terrible song in their head that want to have swapped out for mine?
-
I'd argue that Billy Joel has written far, far worse songs than "You May Be Right". Is it an abomination? I'd argue that "We Didn't Start The Fire" or "The Longest Time" are atrocities that should be banished into a black hole. Anything remotely awful that I abhor (pretty much anything from the "Cocktail" soundtrack, Starship, etc.) that I accidentally hear usually means my brain gets a cleanse with "Bazooka Joe" by Big Black, "Nervous Breakdown" by Black Flag or "Green Light" by Sonic Youth.
-
I would agree that You May BE Right is one of his less offensive songs (I remember actually liking it in 8th grade, when our bus driver would play the Glass Houses cassette every day on the one hour drive to school. But that was when I was 13, and before I discovered anything great from 1980 or before.)
Thank you for replacing it in my head with some much worse Billy Joel songs!

I randomly get Christmas songs in my head all year long, but I unironically love Christmas songs, so I never mind.
Usually it's random, out of left field songs...so random I almost have no idea why they pop into my head. But thanks to this thread and me racking my brain to find a song, it forced that awful 4 Non Blondes song into my brain. Thanks!

This is easily one of my top 3 most-hated songs of all-time.

I think the ones that throw me into a blind rage are "Run-Around" by Blues Traveler, "Kokomo" by the Beach Boys, and "Don't Worry Be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin. But "Ants Marching" by Dave Matthews and "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" are serious contenders too. I guess that's my top 5.

This is a solid list. I (thankfully) cannot say I have heard Kokomo is twenty years but the mere thought of it rockets it very high up my list.
-
I know it is inferior Beach Boys but I wouldn't put Kokomo on that level.
How about These Dreams by Heart (who have a handful of excellent dongs?)

Vengaboys - We Like To Party
This is the worst, greatest song of all time. Oh no, it's now in my head . . . must not open Spotify.
Damn, too late.

Admittedly, I was unaware the members of Heart were Trannys.

Man, this is going to be an A+ thread; I can tell.
This one is so odd and horrible, bur oh so delicious as it eats its way through my brain:
Sex Pistols - "Who Killed Bambi?"

I do think i would KILL this at karaoke, tho. I'd really commit
it forced that awful 4 Non Blondes song into my brain.
This is easily one of my top 3 most-hated songs of all-time.

Damn you I don’t think I’ve ever heard this song in its entirety before today and it’s pure ear candy
-
OK, to go back to Space's original question, I have a proper answer. The song I DETEST that can get stuck in my head is "Informer" by Snow. The "licky boom boom down" line in particular sticks to my brain like a used rotting condom. Ugh. And there it is.
-
along the lines of BMJ's "terrible" song, what's stuck in my head today is Self's reworking of Gigantic as Titanic
it has a lot of "Hey Jack Hey Jack I'm going to jump off the back" along with "TITANTIC TITANTIC TITANTIC A BIG BIG BOAT"

That's at least funny. Criminal, yes. My guilty pleasure somewhat in that vein (but not quite) is the Smithfits, the mashup band on SoundCloud that does "Still Evill", "SHE in a Coma", and "I Want the Skulls I Can't Have".

Some truly, TRULY terrible shit in this thread, but I still maintain I'd rather hear 500 miles and get furious than ever hear a James Taylor song and feel absolutely nothing

When I was 22 I lived in London for the summer. I was once at a dance club and a woman approached me and told me her friend was interested in me and that her friend thought I looked like the Proclaimers.
How was I suppose the respond to that one?

Vengaboys - We Like To Party
hate hate hate... what about that "we're going to ibiza" song (AKA we're going to eat pizza)?
-
Fortunately, I have never heard of The Vengaboys. Unfortunately, now I have.
-
Smashing Pumpkins Bullet With Butterfly Wings and Porno For Pyros Pets aren’t really terrible songs, but it’s about 30 years later (!) and lyrics like ‘Despite all my rage I’m still just a rat in a cage’ and ‘We’ll make great pets’ will pop into my head and mess up my day.
Another one is U2 Stuck in a Moment. It sounds like it should be a good song but it just doesn’t work and I hate when it gets stuck in my head . . .and I can’t get out of it as it were

It gets better, folks . . . it always does:

Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)
I like that song!
Unaware of this thread, my wife announced at dinner that she had a terrible song in her head and asked us to guess it.
I guessed We Didn't Started thr Fire.
My daughter guessed Baby Shark.
And apparently my mind-reading kid was right.

The worst song in history, according to Steve Albini. Though it looks like the artist might beat him into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

I can relate
Although I might choose we built this city over anything in the Cher catalog
And that dose of despair is one he has never recovered from since, every time he hears the wail of ‘Believe’, he’s left with the sickening weight of a dystopia descending unchecked – often celebrated, even – in a world gone awry, blinded by catchiness, and ludicrous headwear

I hated this song when it was popular. It has never grown on me.
Note: The only time you will have hear this song is at a Wizards game.

It grew on me and it has the greatest downbeat in popular music history.
