Thread Name: What the worst song you ever heard !!!
Subject: RE: What the worst song you ever heard !!!
If that's the same "Suzanne" I'm thinking of, I had thought of that as a pretty good song, actually. "Chicken on a Raft" is not about eggs on toast, it's creamed chipped beef on toast, or shit on a shingle, in American parlance. When they served us S.O.S. in the Army, the poor K.P.'s had their work cut out for them policing up all the vomit off the floor. In my opinion, "chicken on a raft is not a good song, but hardly a contender for "worst." "Worst song" is a field so awesomely competitive as to boggle the mind!
I have heard people say that "My Way" is a strong contender for worst. Meaning, I think, "worst" among highly successful "classic" popular songs. You can make a case for that; in the sense that it takes a fine tune and then defiles it with truly yucky sentiments.
I would argue the worst song on DT is ESKIMO NELL, a rather horrible "joke" about murder and rape, claiming to be "satire." Whoever thinks that is a "satire" has led a very protected life!
