Yet, it's been viewed over 42 million times...all but 10 by BaseClogger!

And its successor (and even more terrible)...

You beat me to it!

edit: if this doesn't prove how easy it is to make a pop song in this country these days, I don't know what does.

R4B, take back what you said about Satisfaction. Unless, of course, you are talking about Devo or Britney Spears covers.

A good classic rock station would play everything on both Eagles greatest hits and then some (James Dean for example) and about 15 Lynyrd Skynyrd songs (although some people say they did three songs: uptempo song, ballad, and Freebird).

I love the Devo cover of Satisfaction. They were truly great before they replaced their drummer Alan Myers with a drum machine.

I can't believe we have a cringe-worthy music thread and nobody has mentioned "Butterfly Kisses" by Bob Carlisle. Seriously, I can tolerate most music, but I hate sappy overemotional trash like this.

I would also throw in "Everybody Hurts" by R.E.M. They were my favorite bad for a long time, but with that song, it's like they declared themselves my enemies for life.

Then there's that duet with Eminem and Rihanna about domestic violence. Ugh.

Some Emo bands are like fingernails on the chalkboard.

Not that this has anything to do with the thread, but Chad Kroeger co-owns the company that Carlyle Rad Jepsen records with.

Just sayin'.

i think not only does that have to do with this thread, but explains everything.

Starship anyone?

Oh. Oh. Oh.

Yeah, that was a low moment in history.

I love Paul Kantner's comments on Behind the Music on that one:

"We Built This City on Rock and Roll. yeah Riiiiighhht."

I see your starship and raise you quite possibly the lamest remake/cover i can think of it has a little bit of everything cringe worthy.

I'm wiped out from all the horrible music I've heard, but I'll say this, it's pretty clear cami came to this thread with a loaded deck of cards and we're just living in his world right now. When you want actual 'cringe worthy', you have to go to cami because yours is very beaten by his and it is very apparently not even close.

Possibly the worst mainstream band I've ever heard. "We Built This City" is such a guilty pleasure though.

marcshoe · 11-20-2012, 07:02 PM

Will to Power's covers of Free Bird and Baby I Love Your Way. I refuse to perpetuate these offended to human and animal sensibilities by posting a video.

Oh what the heck.

I refuse to listen to it, though.

I can't believe they got permission for this from the surviving members of Skynard, Frampton, or Nietzsche.

Dom Heffner · 11-20-2012, 08:51 PM

If someone can post Waiting for a Star to Fall, I think we may have a trifecta.

*BaseClogger* · 11-20-2012, 11:31 PM

Limp Bizkit mastered the cringe-worthy cover:

That said, Limp Bizkit is a guilty pleasure of mine...
