If you could wipe one song out of existence?

Asked by IHateMusic (526points) January 16th, 2011

If you could wipe one song (in all its forms) off of the face of the earth forever, what would it be?

Mine
I would let the video survive without sound to confuse people.

Bellatrix's avatar

Dexys Midnight Runners – Come on Eileen… aggh hate it.

Scooby's avatar

This song as it signifies the beginning of the end of the of a wonderful relationship, it was played as the brides song on my wedding day. ( we should have never have got married! ).
Bryan Adams – (Everything I Do) I Do It For You…. I *%”!@# hate this song….

Jefferson Airplane’s White Rabbit. That song creeps me out totally. Ulgh.

Holy fuck that was bad!

I would want to get rid of a song that people are likely to be assaulted with in the normal course of living. Thus my candidate is “Who Let the Dogs Out?” (and all of its imitators).

josie's avatar

I say get rid of video too.

partyparty's avatar

@downtide Aw yes, I forgot about that one… I agree it’s awful!!

My LSD powered rendition of Nothing Compares to You to my first girlfriend while she was driving to get free KFC. Bags of biscuits.

Okay, I am allowing this one out of the bad-song jail for this question.
Mike Douglas is burning in hell for this piece of cheese.

How do I give this post a “Terrible Answer”?

faye's avatar

Proud Mary- It has played 10,000,000 and I have been there for most of them. I didn’t like it the first time. @shaboiklesue aww, I really like that one.

‘I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That)’ – Meatloaf

Aesthetic_Mess's avatar

If I had my way, all country music in general, but “She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy” would be nice not to have around

Coloma's avatar

Oh God…so many, it could fill a book.

Mostly old 70’s songs like

’‘Takin’ care of business’ by Bachman Turner Overdrive

’ Mamas got a Squeeze box’ by The Who

Just to name two that would make me suicidal if locked in a room with those playing.

Horrible, horrible.

filmfann's avatar

A local radio station used to play 10 “Hits From Hell” on Friday the 13th. Painfully bad. The perfect way to cause your gag reflex to lockjaw. They would often include:

We Built This City by Starship
You Light Up My Life by Debbie Boone
Feelings by Morris Albert
Muscrat Love by the Captain and Tenelle

aprilsimnel's avatar

I Can’t Dance, by Genesis. We know, Phil, you didn’t have to go and write a bloody tune about it.

Peter Gabriel thanks his lucky stars he left Genesis before such a trainwreck was released.

G6… Stupidest song EVER!!

john65pennington's avatar

Any and all songs pertaining to country music. its purely suicide music for the beer drinkers.

One i truly do hate is by Ernest Tubb…..............

“I’m Walking The Floor Over You”,

john65pennington's avatar

Faye, Proud Mary? that song should be in the Hall Of Fame. they play it a lot, because people love it a lot.

Kayak8's avatar

Pretty much anything recreated to be played as “elevator music.” They manage to ruin every damn song!

partyparty's avatar

Oh I also forgot remember Combine Harvester by The Wurzels urgh!!

Jude's avatar

Proud Mary is awesome.

Bluefreedom's avatar

Suzy Q and especially CCR’s album rendition which drags on for a dreadful 8 minutes and 37 seconds.

john65pennington's avatar

Suzy Q, short version by CCR is really great. just how much sound they get from three instruments is amazing.

How about any song by Guns and Roses?

Mariah's avatar

NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP
NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN

Bluefreedom's avatar

@john65pennington. I could definitely live without Paradise City.

faye's avatar

To the Proud Mary likers, sorry but once a song hits 10,000,000 it’s official, if even only one person can’t stand it.

zenvelo's avatar

” The Sleigh Ride Song” (Giddy up giddy up giddy up lets go) – worst ear worm ever, and you cannot escape it for 6 weeks every frackin’ year!

janbb's avatar

“My Sharonna” – Stupidest song evah!

KhiaKarma's avatar

whip my hair by Willow, Will Smith’s daughter. Only listen to it if you’re prepared to have it playing through your head for the next few days…..a local radio station here played it over, and over, and over trying to prove a point of the repetitiveness of today’s music.

Loner2011's avatar

Walking on sunshine..

KhiaKarma's avatar

I posted the wrong link….although the cool whip version is interesting

glenjamin's avatar

happy birthday – so i wouldn’t have to hear the waiters sing it every single time I go to a restaurant…. of course they’d probably replace it with something else

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

Oh my God. Where the hell did the OP’s choice come from and why in the holy blazing hell does it have so many views? It’s awful!!!

This really wraps it all up nicely. He gives a run down on the 10 worst songs of 2010. The guy is blunt and may come across as rude with his song descriptions, but I was laughing my ass off!

cletrans2col's avatar

I know this goes against the question, but it must be said: anything by Taylor Swift.

Loner2011's avatar

GREAT ANSWER cletrans2col .

shpadoinkle_sue's avatar

@chocolatechip Am I to take it that you like White Rabbit? That’s fine. It just seriously creeps me out.

@glenjamin I agree. Happy Birthday drives me nuts, too. I’ve been grounded for refusing to sing it.

Sueanne_Tremendous's avatar

Pretty much anything by Elton John. Elderberry Wine indeed. Crocodile Rock? Puhleez. Candle in the Wind…eh so so.

rooeytoo's avatar

Don’t worry, be happy.

so totally inane!

heheheh

Supacase's avatar

@Loner2011 took my original answer (nice to see I am not alone) so I will go with She Drives Me Crazy by The Fine Young Cannibals.

IHateMusic's avatar

@boxer3 I hadn’t seen his new one.. oh my gosh.

boxer3's avatar

@IHateMusic

hahahah, that’s what I said-
when I watched the first one I saw a comment
he’d posted yesterday about finalizing his latest

I couldn’t resist with a title like
CLICK CLICK POW!

“Nothing on But the Radio” by Gary Allan and “I’d Like To Check You For Ticks” by Brad Paisley.

lonelydragon's avatar

@shpadoinkle_sue I wish I was joking, but, nope ,those are real.

rooeytoo's avatar

I just remembered the Macarena (spelling???) jeez I hate that one!

SavoirFaire's avatar

rooeytoo's avatar

@SavoirFaire – ooooops, sorry!
