'Blender' Names 50 Worst Songs
1 hour, 17 minutes ago


NEW YORK (AP) — According to Blender Magazine, "Don't Worry, Be Happy," and "Dancing on the Ceiling," may have been catchy tunes and big hits, but they still stink.

The music magazine is publishing its list of the 50 worst songs in its May issue. The songs were selected for "crap-tastic melodies," were poorly performed, or just didn't make any sense to the folks at the magazine.


Starship's "We Built This City," from 1985 topped the list. "The truly horrible sound of a band taking the corporate dollar while sneering at those who take the corporate dollar," the magazine said of the tune.


Billy Ray Cyrus (news)' "Achy Breaky Heart" was second, followed by Wang Chung's "Everybody Have Fun Tonight." "If this song was a party, you'd lock yourself in a bathroom and cry," quipped Blender.


Limp Bizkit's "Rollin" was Number 4, and Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby," was five.


Rounding out the top ten worst songs ever are Huey Lewis and the News with "The Heart of Rock and Roll," "Don't Worry, Be Happy," by Bobby McFerrin (news), Eddie Murphy (news)'s "Party All the Time," "American Life," by Madonna (news - web sites) and "Ebony and Ivory," the duet by Stevie Wonder (news) and Paul McCartney (news).


Even The Beatles made the list with "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da," which the magazine said sounded like "the desperately chirpy songs Cockneys used to sing to keep their spirits up while the Luftwaffe rained death on them during the Blitz."

yeah I saw that. those are some bad songs :lol:
however in my Ima Robot controled brain

We Built This City has always taken me to a deep, dark, place. It deserves the number one spot, imo.

lurker - 4-20-2004 at 04:59 PM

More than a feeling - Boston.... or any song from them

happysmilely - 4-20-2004 at 05:06 PM

well I hate Limp bizkit. any song from them hits the top :lol:

MichelleRene - 4-20-2004 at 05:08 PM

they made the right choices...I must say... especially the Titanic theme song! I use to sit at my computer at work and every hour they would play it on the comtemporary radio station...it drove me bonkers! And "Don't Worry, Be Happy"...ahhh! I hate that damn song...

Boston...I can't dis them because that song reminds me of my childhood...al that 70's stuff, yah know....Like Zeppelin, early Aerosmith, Queen, Styx and such. Brings back childhood memories.....at the pool.....playing softball...innoscence. Then the 80's came and ruined it all........puberty!

MichelleRene - 4-20-2004 at 05:08 PM

oh man, I hate Limp Bizkit too....what an ass the singer is...

lurker - 4-20-2004 at 05:08 PM

Holy crap i totally forgot about them...
that leads me to my actual worst song(s) from Bizkit along with Kid Rock

happysmilely - 4-20-2004 at 05:11 PM

oh no! kid rock :o
I agree with you Lurker

MichelleRene - 4-21-2004 at 07:43 AM

"DIVA!"....that women on MADD TV cracks me up when they do a spoof of her and Bobby Brown!

I agree with the other bands you mentioned...they're awful!

TurtleEnterprises - 4-21-2004 at 08:59 AM

poobs - 4-21-2004 at 02:00 PM

lurker - 4-21-2004 at 04:38 PM

all those new punk bands like "Simple Plan" "Taking back Sunday" and other lame band names like that suck.:mad:

IMA OWNS:)

poobs - 4-21-2004 at 05:30 PM

Oh fully!!! :D

theipodgod16 - 4-21-2004 at 07:45 PM

aside from the name (which makes them incredibly hard to do a google search on), i think the music are pretty good.

nurzetrev - 4-21-2004 at 07:49 PM

they suck by default that their name is about as original as 'no name band'

theipodgod16 - 4-21-2004 at 07:57 PM

cant judge a book by its cover



or a band by it's name...

lurker - 4-21-2004 at 08:34 PM

true, but i can tell if its a Blink follower just by the people i see wearing the stuff
i guess...

poobs - 4-21-2004 at 10:24 PM

Blink 182 is so hard core, bro!! :rolleyes:

RoboticTerrorSTD - 4-21-2004 at 11:22 PM

i liked blink 182's dude ranch cd .....and then they just got on my fucking nerves.

MichelleRene - 4-22-2004 at 05:24 AM

everyone I've ever heard from said they were the worst concert they've ever been too...Blink 182 that is.......I hate all the wanna be punk pop bands too.....they lack talent, imagination, and creativity.....they're like boy bands playing instruments.....Hopefully that era of bad music will end...very soon.:yes:

MichelleRene - 4-22-2004 at 07:13 AM

Oh...and anything by Lionel Ritchie....ahhhh argh!

MichelleRene - 4-22-2004 at 07:19 AM

EvilMotivator - 6-17-2004 at 10:49 PM

All those bands who pretend to be hardcore annoy the shit outta me. They need to admit that they're pop already. A couple of the bands I can actually kind of enjoy, but I hate how they try so damn hard to be punk.

MichelleRene - 6-18-2004 at 04:52 AM

Yeah..the Warped Tour this year looks so lame-o! Besides of course for you lucky people who get to see Ima Robot on the West Coast!

They use to have really cool new and old punk bands on there....Now it's like cheese ball city!

happysmilely - 6-18-2004 at 07:19 AM

I know... warped = lame!!!
but I must see my IMA ROBOT AGAIN!!!!! :yes:
