Awful songs that somehow made it.

Anyone mentioned the three chord monstrosity with shit vocals that is Brown Eyed Girl yet?

And Mustang Fecking Sally.

Both sound like they were written by Primary School 'Rock Bands' with no concept of melody or musical dynamics.

They are the two songs I hate most in all the world.

In a world in which Sleaford Mods exist surely that can't be true?!?

I know the name, but I've never knowingly heard them.

Still, I'm confident I'll continue to hate Mustang Sally and Brown Eyed Girl more than anything else in the world in space. 

It's not just the originals I hate (I can't even remember who did Mustang Sally originally), it's all the shitty cover versions by pub/wedding bands who think they're guaranteed, solid gold crowd-pleasers.  

And The Commitments.  I'd never heard Mustang Sally before I saw that film.  I was so young and naïve, if only I'd realised how it would go on to blight my life.

That applies to all of the usual 'crowd pleaser' cover-band songs, even when the originals are from bands I like. All universally unbearable.

To be honest, they generally are crowd pleasers, love them or loathe them, they work.

I don't want to be in those crowds then.

I always made a point of playing to the audience, not other guitarists. 

It’s funny but around this area, the rock bands all cover the same songs, Free, Thin Lizzy, Skynyrd all the standards. I was always interested in pulling odd songs out, like an old Heavy rock band I was in back in the 80’s we covered Heartbreak Hotel by Elvis, something everyone knows but few ever plays. 

When we played Mustang Sally ( which wasn’t offen) we used to start it with just bass and drums only putting a groove down then eventually I would come in on guitar.everybody knew it but it put a different slant on it.

Reminded by the other thread...

Prefab Sprout - The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll

Although it’s still only a runner-up to the song I probably loathe most in the world...

Danny Wilson - Mary’s Prayer.

Interesting.  Knowing you like a bit of pop, I wouldn't have expected you to hate those.  Well maybe the Danny Wilson one.

Can’t stand anything by either of them.

I really dislike There She Goes as well, if it matters - a worthy challenger to Lenny Kravitz’s Fly Away for the worst lazy rhyming in a meaningless song.

Of the four, I don't mind There She Goes... not a fan of any of the others.

Objeciton, M'lud.  "Brown Eyed Girl" has 4 chords.

Still shite though.

Only ten months 'til Crimbo. Corny seasonal ditties deserve a setlist to themselves.

I remember seeing this one on top of the pops when I was a kid:

I think it is madness in disguise.

The Macarena was ridiculously popular in the mid 90's - why?
