I enjoy Eiffel 65, Boom Boom Boom and Ibiza are damn sweet.

First off, I didn't intend for this thread to be a 'reminisce about Eiffel 65' thread as much as I wanted it to turn into a "What is the objectively worse song ever made by actual musicians who supposedly have dedicated their life's work to such things" thread.

Oh please. Eiffel 65 might not have the best track record, but that's nothing compared to this.

And did you just now find that? I'd been under the impression that everyone had heard, hated, and gotten over that song years ago.

I vaguely remember having a friend in middle school who had bought Europop and played P-L-A-Y-S-T-A-T-I-O-N all the time because we were mostly friendless video game nerds, but it was only until I met my college friend that I heard it with actual discernment and realized how bad it is.

I'd consider your song, but then I'd have to consider the 'work' of every drunken officeworker who decides to make an ass of themselves in freestyle karaoke. Just because they had access to a videocamera doesn't mean that they made something professionally bad.

While you get bonus points for it being Effel 65, I still think that the worst song of all time is contained within.

Because it's one thing to be horrible, it is quite another to be horrible and get consistently blasted on the radio, bar jukeboxes, and 7,000$ car sound systems despite that fact.

Girl Talk managed to use a sample from this for one of his songs so it cannot be considered entirely bad, just mainly bad. To put it another way, using anaerobic technology you can light a lightbulb with the energy from decomposing shit. Sure, it's still shit, but you can derive a use out of it by being clever.

This one isn't exactly the worst ever, but I never could figure out how the guy who made Audiosurf could actually like this. (It was one of the very first songs put in the "Radio" for the game.) I mean...wow

It doesn't seem that outrageous. From what I've seen from the game, a mediocre dance song with a mostly consistent beat is a good enough introduction.

Hey, I like My Console. It's got a funky beat and it's fun to drive to, so nyah.

Worst song by an established musician? Hmm, I will have to think on that.

It's STILL Yes We Can.

I'm reluctant to call that a song.

Oh god, OW.

Someone was paid to play that song?

Okay, I listened to the other songs linked in this thread. Paris for President was obviously a spoof song, and though the acting and staging was terrible, it wasn't too bad for the music. The gayest guy or whatever doesn't count, that wouldn't ever sell as a produced song. I Never Want To is pretty lame. He wishes he was Nine Inch Nails, that much is obvious, and he fails pretty hard. I Never Want To listen to this song again. I do want some Perfect Drug to clean out my ears.

No no no...

Someone was paid to write that song.

It's not great, but I'm not willing to justify it as worst song just because it's included for some godforsaken reason on Guitar Hero.

None of these songs are about specific headwear and how it bears a resemblance to selachimorphic dorsal appendages, and thus none of them are the worst song in history.
