I don't know about ketchup, but I do know his sister went on a Saturday.

And it's only natural.

I like Obladi Oblada.

If I wrote this list, a good chunklet of this list would just feature the band Train.

OK I cheated. I don't get the hate for #12. I like the song and I'd rather listen to it than some of their other hit singles.

1. Rebecca Black- Friday

I used not to care at all for My Heart Will Go On, but I can't stand it nowadays. I don't even care about Cèline Dion (She has a great voice, though), but that song annoys me. Specially the chorus.
YOOOOOOOOOOO
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Update time.

43. "Follow Me" - Uncle Kracker - 2000

Meh. I wouldn't say it's nearly bad enough for this list. Nothing I'd go around listening to when I can listen to stuff that's more my forte, but I don't see what's made it this decried. I mean, I could come up with a laundry list of things that could make it more interesting IMO, but nothing really offends me. Then again, that pseudonym is so dumb, I guess he ought to be knocked down a few pegs, eh?

42. "The Sounds of Silence" - Simon & Garfunkel - 1965

What did Simon and/or Garfunkel do to the author's family and loved ones?

This is a great tune! I actually just heard it for the first time and it actually makes me want to hear more from this duo, see what's their deal. They lyrical content is very strong for the time and in general. Best song I've heard from this list, so far.

41. "We Didn't Start the Fire" - Billy Joel - 1989

It's The End Of The World As We Know It is a much better list-a-bunch-of-nouns song.

But it's still catchy and enjoyable as a novelty song. I prefer his earlier stuff that isn't slathered in 80s, but, like, when this comes on the radio when I'm at the wheel, I'm happy to rock out to it. It's a dumb song, but a like-able one, plus it's fun to recognize the majority of the references. And really, bashing it for not being a cohesive history of the mid to late 20th century is a bit silly. The damn thing's what? 4, 5 minutes long?

40. "I Wanna Sex You Up" - Color Me Badd - 1991

So this is the sort of music that later lead to many a R&B ballad with creepy lyrics that I don't actively listen to, nor care about.

I feel massively indifferent about it.

At least I'm Too Sexy was funny.

The Sounds of Silence is a great song WTF

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #42 on:** May 20, 2012, 12:04:22 AM »

Yeah. The Sounds of Silence is awesome. That's 1 song I like thus far.

Jaffa · « **Reply #43 on:** May 20, 2012, 12:07:57 AM »

I cheated and looked up the list. Most of it I don't particularly care about one way or the other, but there are two or three songs on it that I'd really like to have a word about with Blender's editors.

[...] It's a dumb song [...]

Interesting. I think it's almost kind of profound in a stream of consciousness, post-modern sort of way. Great song, though, and certainly not one of the worst 50 of all time. I think I prefer it over R.E.M.'s too.

Pols Voice · « **Reply #45 on:** May 20, 2012, 01:22:45 AM »

What?! The Sounds of Silence is a classic, and the best song by Simon and Garfunkel. They're usually well-respected by the media too, so what's Blender's deal?

lonestar · « **Reply #46 on:** May 20, 2012, 02:01:46 AM »

I'll jump on the bandwagon too, Sounds of Silence is a brilliant song.

Silver Tears · « **Reply #47 on:** May 20, 2012, 02:12:27 AM »

Yeah I like that song too!

PuffyPat · « **Reply #48 on:** May 20, 2012, 02:31:43 AM »

This list, like most lists, is just dumb. The Sounds of Silence is FUCKING AWESOME, and so is Ob-Li-Di Ob-La-Da. All I can say to Blender is GO DIE, JUST DIE.

I will, however, be following this thread because it is an interesting idea, and I'm intrigued to see what everyone has to say, especially cup, about this list.

wolfking · « **Reply #49 on:** May 20, 2012, 03:49:45 AM »

Not a Beatles fan at all, but there's simply no way any Beatles song should make a list of worst songs.

Sound of Silence is absolutely classic. The Billy Joel song is actually one of the songs I actually like from him, so again I don't understand that.

I'm Too Sexy is cheesy as fuck, but a great groove and some killer smooth melodies.

I agree with Uncle Cracker though, terrible song.

ariich · « **Reply #50 on:** May 20, 2012, 04:04:23 AM »

This list is awful so far. Most songs are at least decent and some are even good.

44. "I'd Do Everything For Love [But I Won't Do That]" - Meat Loaf - 1993

This song could have been alright if it was more reserved and wasn't 7 MINUTES LONG. When I was younger, I did not like long songs (by long, I mean over 5 minutes or so). Nowadays, I'm posting on a prog-metal forum, of course, but that aside, I'm relating more and more to my younger self about long songs. Sure, a long song can be something fantastic, like, Dvorak's 9th or something like that, but there's a chance it could be this.

More to come later today.

Well I hate to break it to you but the real version of the song is 12 minutes long. You failed.

Also its great, so you fail more.

rumborak · « **Reply #52 on:** May 20, 2012, 09:07:04 AM »

The only one on that list that's really godawful is the Meatloaf song. Sound of Silence is awesome.

Guess I'm the only one here who hates everything on the list (except The Sounds of Silence).

splent · « **Reply #54 on:** May 20, 2012, 10:52:05 AM »

Blender has always been dumb. So I'm not going to deny that.

Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da is awesome, Sounds of Silence is awesome, We Didn't Start The Fire is awesome.... seems like the most awful ones so far are near the bottom of the list.

jcmoorehead · « **Reply #55 on:** May 20, 2012, 11:25:05 AM »

I'd Do Anything For Love is one of my favourite songs of all time and Meat Loaf one of my favourite artists, not really sure how it'd get on a list of "Word songs ever" but then again Meat Loafs always been a bit of a target.

Some of those songs on there though are pretty damn awful.

I agree with this.

S&G and The Beatles don't belong anywhere on a list like this.

Gorille85 · « **Reply #57 on:** May 20, 2012, 01:25:32 PM »

For the list to be controversial, they needed to take some popular songs to piss on. A true top 50 worst songs list would be full of unknown stuff and pretty forgettable overall.

Ħ · « **Reply #58 on:** May 20, 2012, 01:48:39 PM »

Sounds of Silence is terrific. I first heard it in the Watchmen movie and it fit perfectly.

Zook · « **Reply #59 on:** May 20, 2012, 02:53:02 PM »

Maybe Oblideebles doesn't belong on this list, but Yellow Submarine sure does.
