and close behind that you can list just about any other Led Zeppelin song. sorry, don't stone me.

you sir, are dead to me

I don't know if it's the worst song ever, but it's certainly one of the most disturbing. Green Jelly had a song called "House Me Teenage Rage."

I hadn't heard of the song until my boyfriend mentioned it a couple of months back. It turns out that it was something that a friend of his had played for him back in high school. Teenage homones...they're crazy.

Had to revive this thread because my husband just got a copy of "Spaced Out" - the album collaboration of William Shatner and Leonard Nemoy. The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins is a terrible, yet hilarious song.

The whole album is sooooo funny. I'm sure they are just laughing themselves to the bank.

I'll have to find a way to link to a heavy-metal cover of Bananaphone I have.

Banana phone - wish I had never visited that site - I can't get that song out of my head, nor can I remove the image of dancing badgers from my brain! AAAAAHHHHHH!

And Maya Rudolph was Minnie Ripperton's daughter. Little piece of trivia I've hung onto.

Ah. Now I see what you were saying.

Must have changed the lyrics for the album. Cause some of the lines are:

"Making Love with you is all I wanna do"

and

"And every time that we oooh I'm more in love with you"

[jdbutler]

How about that irritating "Tiny Bubbles (in my tub)"

Wind Beneath my Wings.

Oh, and that abomination from Titanic.

I was at a psychic faire all weekend. There was a motherfuckingsleazyloungeact piano guy there (who switched off with a harp player) who kept playing those two songs.

I nearly shot him.

Nearly.

they only played those two songs?

if so, did you look for a camera to see if you were on that Mtv show Boiling Point ?

Lookout! We seem opposites in every regard. Not that that is a bad thing, its getting eerie. I love any/all Zeppelin. Jimmy Page!

Now the Doors....any of those selections is a contender. Ick. LA Woman.

But my vote for all time worst..."Never Been to Me" by someone named Charlene.
She needs a good puck to the mouth.

the Doors? i actually like some of their stuff. i don't believe in the whole hero worship of Morrison, but they knew how to put out a decent song when they weren't completely whacked out of their gourds.

as far as Zepellin? like i said, it is completely subjective - i guarantee most of my favorite music would leave most people scratching their heads and saying "WTF?" but i don't like Zepellin's sound much, and i really hate the fact that they borrowed so much from the old blues musicians without giving the proper credit. please don't ask me to go back and give examples. i just remember one of my instructors going on and on about some of Zepellin's stuff, and i happened to be paying attention in class and thinking to myself - "bullshit - that song was straight outta Muddy Waters, and that one was Howlin Wolf!" but that has been about 15 years, so it would take some serious time for me to track down the specifics.
anyway - i am glad you enjoy the band though.

Gary Puckett and the Union Gap's soulful homage to a young girl's loss of her virginity . . .

This Girl Is A Woman Now

This girl walked in dreams, Playing in a world of her own.
This girl was a child, Existing in a playground of stone.
Then, one night her world was changed; Her life and dreams were rearranged.
She would never be the same again.

chorus
This Girl is a Woman Now; She's learned how to live.
This Girl is a Woman Now. She's found out what it's all about
And she's learnin', learnin' to live.

This girl tasted love, as tender as the gentle dawn.
She cried a single tear, A teardrop that was sweet and warm.
Our hearts told us we were right, And on that sweet velvet night.
A child had died, a woman had been born.

chorus

[/gag!]

Zeps manager also named and managed Stone the Crows, who's lead singer Maggie Bell, was the best blues singer in the British Isles. If you've never heard her, you should, even if your not into blues.

It certainly seemed like he only played those two songs, but anyone familiar with sleazyloungeactpiano knows that everything they play sounds like those two songs.

(There was a brief respite when they didn't have enough drummers to accompany the belly dancers and so piano guy turned up the drum track on his keyboard to compensate for the three drummers they did find who suffered badly from "white man's disease".)

I never heard of Boiling Point, but probably would not be a good candidate, since I pretty much don't get there often. I take a lot of outrageous stuff pretty calmly.
