What do you think is the most stupid song ever?

[CTyankee]

I nominate "Walk the Dinosaur."

[mahatmakanejeeves]

1. If this list doesn't include {Redacted}, I'm resigning from DU. NT

[Maninacan]

2. Stupid yes!

I always liked it, never knew there was a video.

[bamagal62]

3. Muskrat Love

[Whyisthisstillclose]

7. Great minds think alike.....

[Chasstev365]

9. Beat me to it!

[hlthe2b]

21. There are actually muskrats in the lake at the park I walk before dawn each morning...

They seem to have an amazing way of surviving winter along with the zillions of Canadian geese and ducks, and I always get a smile when I hear their distinctive "splash" by the shore.

And... I loved the band, AMERICA. That said, I admit that was not their finest moment. LOL

[Maninacan]

59. Willis Alan Ramsey

This song is also on what i think is a great album!

[Whyisthisstillclose]

4. Does Your Chewing Gum Lose It's Flavor On The Bedpost Overnight and Muskrat Love

come immediately to mind, but there's are lots of contenders.....

[Bobstandard]

10. Wait!

That song has Lonny Donnegan rapping the immortal and ineffable lyric “if tin whistles are made of tin, what do they make foghorns out of?” “Boom. Boom!”

[Whyisthisstillclose]

17. True! Maybe I have been too harsh in my assessment??

It was the first dance song at my wedding...

[GCG]

5. My vote is for

Good Morning Starshine sung by Oliver.

The chorus: "Glibby gloop gloopy, Nibby Nabby Noopy, La La La Lo Lo. Sabba Sibby Sabba, Nooby abba Nabba Le Le Lo Lo. Tooby ooby walla, nooby abba nabba, Early mornin' singin' song."

[unblock]

13. I'm partial to the Beverly D'Angelo version from the movie hair

She was my babysitter growing up (before she was famous obviously) so I may be biased.

It's a silly song but fun happy upbeat and fits the musical/movie. Many song from musicals can sound odd when they become hits out of context.

[lastlib]

6. Loggins & Messina doing "Danny's Song."

Billy Joel's "For the Longest Time" is a close second, followed by every song Leo effin' Sayer ever did.

[ABC123Easy]

49. How is Billy Joels stupid?

I can see someone not liking it (I love it but to each their own) but being stupid? Just curious

[lastlib]

63. That chorus just sucks.

It's hideous, my 2cts.

[ABC123Easy]

66. Your opinion is as valid as mine

[Chasstev365]

8. Da Da Da - Trio 1982

?si=P-yJPwobVpOpdFCO

[TrunKated]

32. I always thought that was a variation...

On the Yeah, yeah, yeah, stuff of the 60s. Like the Beatles song, She Loves You.

[Croney]

11. She's Under My Thumb.

...comes to mind.

[Haggard Celine]

12. Kid Rock -- Bawitaba

[Whyisthisstillclose]

19. But Skid Rock has redeemed himself since then with his sartorial splendor and astute political insights

[ABC123Easy]

50. Hell yes

This perfectly fits "stupid"

[Sneederbunk]

14. Surfin' Bird

?si=oleyccHYxx1LMpmi

[Safe as Milk]

15. "Don't worry. Be Happy." n/t

[Grim Chieftain]

16. "My Mommy Said I Should Put Beans in My Ears"

By The Serendipity Singers - 1964. Even as a child this song made me cringe.

[The Roux Comes First]

53. This Was Just About When We Trucked My Sister to the ER to Have a Date Pit Extracted from Her Nose!

[Grim Chieftain]

55. Good grief!

I hope she came through it okay. She'd have done better to put beans in her ears, they're smaller.

[rhiannon55]

64. When he was five, my brother Steve pushed a popcorn kernel deep in his ear

He ended up with hearing loss in that ear.

[Grim Chieftain]

68. Oh, that's so awful!

Poor kiddo.

[Emile]

18. Blake Sheldon "Boys around here"

Chew Tobacco, Chew Tobacco, Chew Tobacco, Spit

?si=4Jz55U9BeOHG0BV2

[IA8IT]

20. Toni Basil's "Mickey" There, secret's out.... my guilty pleasure!!

[hlthe2b]

22. 'Brand New Key'- Melanie (Should at least ve on the list... the Roller Skate Song.. supposedly)

That one makes my teeth grind.. Uggh.

[Norrrm]

33. Is this one any better?

[Easterncedar]

39. I like both versions!

[hlthe2b]

42. Oh, hon... Let me find all recordings for you to listen to 24/7 from now on!

Please tell me you are kidding.

[Easterncedar]

45. Overplayed on the radio, when that was all we had, sure

I think Melanie's song was cute. That's all. I am not smoking dope and putting it on repeat on the record player like I did Pink Floyd.

[hlthe2b]

48. Well, Pink Floyd, I definitely "get.."

But, not enough pot in the world for that Melanie song to resonate.

[hlthe2b]

41. Oh, gawd...

I am going to send a voodoo curse your way for that! (kidding, just kidding). But OMG that is awful.

[Norrrm]

43. I think they would be proud to hear you say that.

[johnp3907]

23. Bush Was Right

By The Right Brothers.
It’s totally wrong.

[cloudbase]

24. MacArthur Park

Telephone Man

[hlthe2b]

44. I actually like MacArthur Park--both versions

But, I'm a sucker for a good orchestral backing and an actor who surprises us by singing (or speaking, in the case of William Shatner) and as for the other, Donna Summer was the Queen of disco! She was near "perfect!" LOL

[LogDog75]

25. You Light Up My Life by Debbie Boone

Hated it in the 70s and still hate it today.

[Dawson Leery]

26. Agree.

[UpInArms]

27. Petula Clark - Don't Sleep in the Subway

Don't sleep in the subway?
Don't stand in the pouring rain?

Who was she dating?

[Rastapopoulos]

28. "Having My Baby" by Paul Anka

[Easterncedar]

38. Loathe that one!

Along with If I were a carpenter

[hlthe2b]

46. Yeah... That one was cringe-worthy...

[Norrrm]

29. After 5000 times, Grandma got run over by a reindeer. It stopped being cute at 5001.

[viva la]

30. Sugar Sugar

[bamagal62]

61. When I was 7, my dad brought

Home a horse named Sugar. I would sit in the tire swing and sing her that song.

[Norrrm]

31. When the four girls are walking, I find Dinosaur to be worthy of a Grammy. I have an eye for good music.

[TrunKated]

34. I would put almost all country and 70s disco below that.

[FullySupportDems]

35. That Proud to be an American slop one hit wonder

Sorry, I can't go with There ain't no doubt, and the worse Where at least I know I'm free... just no. Ever since it came out.

[gay texan]

36. Fucking Lee Greewood

"Im proud to be an american"

Pure bullshit

[kimbutgar]

51. i absolutely hate that song

and want to scream when I hear it!

[Easterncedar]

37. Yummy yummy yummy I've got love in my tummy

[Mystery To Me]

40. Escape

Pina Colada Song

[ABC123Easy]

47. I'd pick ANY song in the Beiber catalog.

Beiber's "music" is just trash. Given time and pro tools, a chimpanzee could create Beibers "music"

[SheltieLover]

52. MacArthur Park

[CTyankee]

54. Yeah, I never could understand "someone left the cake out in the rain..."

[SheltieLover]

58. That line got me too, & it was waaaay too long.

[skypilot]

71. And why won't they ever...

...have the recipe again? Did that get left out in the rain as well?

[displacedvermoter]

56. The Night Chicago Died

Billy Don't Be a Hero, a close second!

[subterranean]

67. The same band (Paper Lace) was responsible for both of those songs.

The version of Billy Don't be a Hero that became a No. 1 hit in the U.S. was a cover of Paper Lace's original, which was a hit in the UK.

[The Blue Flower]

57. I've Got Tears in My Ears from Laying in Bed, Crying Over You

My number two dumbest is: I'm Ambivalent Over You (from the 40s or 50s), but yes, a real title.

[jmbar2]

60. Something Stupid - Frank and Nancy Sinatra

Can't forget this one

[PittBlue]

62. I shot the sheriff.

I hate that song.

[johnp3907]

70. Hatin' on Marley?

😮

[PittBlue]

73. Nope...

Just that song.

[ABC123Easy]

65. So....

Are we picking songs that are stupid or just ones we hate?

[MustLoveBeagles]

69. My Ding a Ling

😝

[debm55]

72. You Light Up My Life by Debbie Boone.
