Which was the worst one hit wonder? The one that you hated but it got stuck in your head and they always played it on the radio? And it made you go insane? :goofy: :vibrator:

I'm still deciding on my least favorite.

What an irritating song. It's used to bug me severely when ever it got played on the radio.

I like 80s music, but there was some crap in my beloved decade, and the worst mound of fetid shit was:

THE ELECTRIC SLIDE

Christ, that dance sucked pole, and the song was as annoying as Hell. When the movie I'm working on gets made, I've got a killer line about line dancing.

FOR THE SAKE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, LINE DANCES SUCK! WHEN YOU'RE ON THE FLOOR, *JUST BE YOURSELF*!

Sincerely,

John "outofplacechild" Kilduff

I have to agree with Recker. Maybe it was just the time when this was on, but everywhere I went, there was a boom box playing that awfull song.

"My girl wants to party all the time, party all the time, party all the tiiiiiiime"!!!!

*like, gag me with a spoon!!!*

"Major Tom coming home". I disliked it so much, I don't even remember the name of the artist.

Peter schilling did major tom coming home. I have to admit I like that song but that song by bobby mcfarin, dont worry be happy was horrible and the video even sucked big time.

Hard to say there were a lot of them but off the top of my head I'd have to say "Puttin On the Ritz" by Taco! I have always hated that song, so bringing it back was like a nightmare!
The only rendition of the song that's ever been tolarable is Peter Boyle's in the movie "Young Frankenstein"and as hilarious as that movie is that part always erks me!

:mad:

"Get me out of here Get me the hell out of here! Don't you people know a joke when you here one? I was joking!!!"

I have to agree on the choice of "Don't Worry, Be Happy"... I cringe whenever I hear it anymore!!! :vibrator:

The one I did not like was "Rico Suave". I don't remember who it was by?

Rico Suave was by GERARDO

However. I know it wasnt an 80s song, but it was, IN MY HUMBLE OPINION the worst one hit wonder song ever. I dont even know the name of it, but SOMEBODY will know it. It was the song by that like 6 or 7 year old and he was talking in french. The song was talking about how tough it was being a kid. SOMEBODY HELP ME OUT! THAT SONG IS THE WORST THING EVER IN ONE HIT WONDERVILLE!!!!!!!!

I have to agree with "Don't Worry Be Happy".With so many of us hating that song how did it ever become so popular?!

"don't worry be happy"...i don't mind that song!!!!

does "we are the world" count as a one hit wonder?
that song REALLY bugs me:mad:

We are the World - that song was like drinking an entire bottle of syrup - so excessively sweet it made me vomit.

Mony Mony by Billy Idol always made me cringe too. Never liked that song at all and Idol's version wasn't any better.

Oops, Billy Idol wasn't a one-hit-wonder, so never mind.

I still stand by my We are the world comments however. :devil:

Kokomo, by the Brian Wilson-less Beach Boys, sucked so hard that it reaches across the ensuing decades to still torment me!

If I hear that damn song one more time, I'm going to vomit.

Well a new generation of kids get to be irritated by this song now. Whenever my kids get grumpy or in a bad mood, I sing it just to piss them off even more! :lol:

Hey and what about those T shirts that came out? "Don't worry, be happy" I mean how lame were those huh????? :hammer:

too many "bad" one hit wonders for me!!

Voyage Voyage - Desirless..(shocking)
My toot toot - Denise lasalle..(frightning)

worst of all for me

Hey Matthew - Karel Fialka...(dangerous)

Micky

This is hard, there are so many, many bad one hit wonders...but I'm gonna list a few:

"Don't Worry, Be Happy"...it's unanimous, high cringe factor!

"Love & Pride" - King...he just irritates the hell out of me and the song bombs big time!

"Baby Love" - Regina...used to like this song, but it's steadily grating my nerves!!

And for the record, I actually like Peter Schilling's "Major Tom (I'm Coming Home)" a great song! :thumb:

I've just been reading through this and laughing...some of these are sooooo bad. DD86, I'll never forgive you for reminding me of "My Girl wants to party all the time"! AAAARRRRRGGGG!!!!! It's stuck in my head now and won't go away!:vibrator:

I've got to agree: "Don't Worry, Be Happy" irritates me to no extent! :goofy: :hammer:

That's a good question Teddy Boy. :lol: What really made me laugh was the ridiculous rumour that went around shortly after that song came out that Bobby McFerrin had committed suicide. So many people believed that rumour!! :rolleyes:

"I Want To Know What You're Thinking" or whatever it was called, it had the blurb of Mr. Spock saying "Pure Energy" over and over.:ego:

The song is "What's on Your Mind" by Information Society.

The one song that comes to my mind is "You Keep Me Spinning (Round and Round) by Dead or Alive. That has to be the most annoying song.

As for Don't Worry, Be Happy, I don't mind the song, though I agree the video sucks.

"Save Your Love My Darling" by Renee & Renata was pretty bad and used to make me vomit.

Recker hit the nail on the head.:hammer:

"Don't Worry, Be Happy" was irritating.

I did like it back in 1988, when it was released...I was also 7 years old and in the hospital for a near-fatal asthma attack.:vibrator:

Maybe that's why whenever I hear that song, I can't breathe...;)

Oh, come on you guys! I can't believe this one hasn't made it into this thread yet.

"Open the door, get on the floor. Everybody walk their dinosaur."

This song makes me want to PUKE! And I heard it again today on the radio. Why?

I have to agree with Flix, you'd have to go a long way to be worse than this.

I have to agree with Recker. Don't Worry, Be Happy has to be the worst song, yet it gets in your head and it won't leave.:ego:

First of all I have to say 4.....3.....2.....1 earth below us..drifting...falling.

I love that song, actually bought a compilation cd just for it.


Recker, My goal is to find just "ONE" disgusting song even close to Don't Worry Be Happy, but I'm not sure I'll be able to.

the song that annoyed me was Jenny-8765309( I think that was the number:confused: ) over and over and over they sang that darn phone number:wacky:

OK, I've searched my collection, memory, the net and can't come up with a song as bad as "Dont worry be happy".

After much thought my #2 choice would be "Mr Roboto".

A song that have been irritating me since the 80s is "Da da da I don't love you" of the german band Trio.
I don't like "don't worry, be happy", but not so much to think is the worst one... (and I like "Major Tom" and "Voyage voyage"... :talkstorm )

Mr. Roboto was by Styx (I'm pretty sure) who definitely weren't one hit wonders. :)

To end or increase your misery...the song you´ve meant was probably "Dur dur d´être bébé" by Jordy. As far as I know, it can be translated as "It´s hard to be a baby"...and in this case, I don´t want kids anymore. :D
It was released in 1993 and was a minor hit in Germany...and a big hit in France, I guess.

I remember this song (only a minor correction, it was released in 1992... I know that because my wife OWNS this CD...). You cannot miss le "remix" :lol:
And that remembers me a 1991 "hit": "Do the Bartman", by The Simpsons... :eek:

Hey Mikki by Toni Basil, I thought this would have already made the list

Paul Lekakis - Boom Boom. Also Frankie Smith - Double Dutch Bus (I loved it as a kid, but can't stand it now)

Oh...of course you are right - I would never object against your wife. :lol:
Seriously, I had taken the info from a Swiss chart page, and it claimed 1993 as the release year. Scary that even a remix of this track exists. :laugh:

BTW, the CD "The Simpsons Sing The Blues" is pretty cool if you like this kind of music. "Do The Bartman" is the exception there - although I like it, too.

Speaking of the probably most hated track of the xchange, "Don´t Worry Be Happy" - I have seen an announcement today that Bobby McFerrin is soon coming to our hometown this April. Not that I have the urge to visit the concert...just wanted to let you know. ;)

99 Red Balloons. (99 luft balloons, whatever) I hated both versions. :hammer:

I would also like to add other songs that have already been discussed:

Don't Worry Be Happy (I remember the lame t-shirts):hammer:

Rico Suave :hammer:

Party All the Time :hammer:

There is one song I don't like because it was overplayed.

Come On Eileen :hammer:

there are soo many annoying ones.

Well I know I felt like killing Bobby McFerrin every time that damn song came on. When I listen to the internet '80s stations, I try and change the station real quick when that stupid song comes on. "Don't Worry, Be Happy" is one of the most annoying songs ever created!! :mad: It's a complete mystery how that song became popular.

I woke up this morning an my radio reminded me that Kaoma once annoyed me with Lambada! Brrrr:eek:

1. Yes, We Are The World was a little too overdone and ended up sounding arrogant.

2. It's interesting how a song about peace and all that is really hated!!! Count me in among the haters of "Don't Worry Be Happy". ANNOYING had been redefined. I really, really HATE this song!!

3. Rico Suave... get a real job

4. What's wrong with Lambada? It's very melodious :)

What´s wrong with Rico Suave? Rrrricoo...Suaave...me likes it. :lol:

Totally off topic..........



YUMMY Gerardo as Rico Suave!!! However, my best friend, Cindi, and I would make up our own Spanish to sing when he'd rap in Spanish.

"A humma humma himmy a humma humma hunna"

That was pretty much it!!

Oooohhh yeah!!! This has got to be my choise also :mad: I cant stand that tune. When it's played on the air, I get physical sick :goofy: Yikes, I hate hate hate that song............

Agadoo by Black Lace - it sometimes gets inside my head when I'm out windsurfing and there is nothing to get rid of it!! ahggh!!
get it out!!!! get it out of my head!!! ahahhaaahhh!!!! :4psycho:

"Two of Hearts"- Stacy Q.
and various other worthless pieces of disco drivel.

Don't worry, be happy is really annoying. I always change station when I hear it on the radio. I am embaressed to admit that I like most of the other songs mentioned in here, even the Eddie Murphy song.

This aweful track is from 1984...

Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop Cuma Cuma Wang Dang - Montevideo and the Cassettes.

Stupid title. Stupid song.

IMO, it would have to be "Somebody's Watching Me" by Rockwell.
When it came out, I lived in Chicago and B-96 played it almost every hour. The only reason it got heavy play is because Michael Jackson sang the chrous.

Pushed any pineapples lately Retro!? :p :lol: Or grind coffee??
We had to learn that song in primary school and the actions! :yucky:

The ones that crack me up that is make me MAAAADDD:

Goombay Dance Band : Seven Tears AAAAGGHHHH!

Rockwell - Someones watching me.

Denise Williams - Lets hear it for the Boy

Bobby McFerrin - Dont Worry; Be Happy

Toni Basil - Oh Mickey (Oh Please!)

oh yeah

I know he's not a one hit wonder but anything by Michael Bolton or Peter Cetera!!!!!!!!!

matthew wilder's "break my stride". he needed to take that boat to china and stay there!

babooshka

Relax-Frankie Goes to hollywood. I hate that song.

Ohhh ma12lt you may have some serious opposition there! And the charts in 1984 did not agree with you. In fact FGTH had 2 hits in the top 10 at once. Relax and Two Tribes kept changing from positions 1 and 2. Relax was in the charts for most of 1984...

I take it you do not own a "relax" t-shirt. You know the plain white ones with the word "RELAX" printed in black across the front?

Still, you are entitled to your opinion.

You're sure they had another hit. I only really know relax by them. Sorry you like that song. My sympathy to you on that one.

Oh, boy, I had to laugh at how many people dissed "Don't Worry, Be Happy" - which I hated, too. First of all, it is so opposite my personality, second, it was on the radio all the time when I was working at Ormond. Yup, three months of folding tank tops and manning the fitting room, listening to Bobby Farrin and "Red Red Wine" by UB40.

I also hated "19" by Paul Hardcastle, which I heard every time I went to the mall.

My least fave song from the 80s has to be "Shower Me With Your Love" (I think that's the name, that's the only line in the song I remember) that I heard at some bar in Georgetown. Not only did I hate the song then, I got dragged onto the dance floor by some marine I was trying to avoid, so it gained bad memories, too. Does anyone remember that song? I'm guessing 1989 or 1990...

Don't forget the shirts that said "Frankie says RELAX" and then the rebuttal shirts, "Who gives a sh!t what Frankie say?" (which got one of my classmates sent home from school for displaying obscenities). Thanks for reminding me of those shirts!

I loved that song.

How about that Robbie Nevill song "C'est La Vie"

That was a crappy 80's one hit wonder.

Um I like the 80s so much that I dont hate any sogs that I have listened to. Maybe If I listened to some that you have Guys mentioned I would hate them. Anything is better than 90's music, although there a few good ones.

I Know Guancho, do I ever Know!!!!

BTW, About that sig of yours, now that Spain are OUT of the world cup (ROFL) are you referring to the next one in four years :lol: ??????????????????????? ;)

:8offtopic Brazil won its last World Cup in 1994, and before that one, did it in 1970 (1970+1994=3964).
Germany won its last World Cup in 1990, and before that one, did it in 1974 (1974+1990=3964).
Argentina won its last World Cup in 1986, and before that one, did it in 1978 (1978+1986=3964).

Following that rule, the winner for the 2002 World Cup is (3964-2002=1962) the winner of the 1962 edition... the country who won the World Cup in 1962 was Brazil.

And now the most important thing, the reason why all the Spaniard supporters are so happy... we have never won the World Cup, so
IT'S SURE THAT SPAIN WILL WIN THE WORLD CUP IN THE YEAR 3964!!!!

(Anyway, I've removed the banner from my signature... just because it's not too kind to remind you every day we're going to win the Cup :D)

We are the World really did suck, but my vote goes to Don't Worry Be Happy>

I AM PROUD OF YOU ALL!

YES!!

"Don't Worry Be Happy" - The #1 dissed song of the forum! The official don't-you-dare-play-that! song.

I remember a review of it said it sounded like a kindergarten kid made up the lyrics as he/she went along.

How about this one....
Boogie in Your Butt- Eddie Murphy

Hey, at least "Boogie In Your Butt" was supposed to be a joke.

I'm late but I had to post to this thread because I just laughed like a maniac reading it. And some of these songs! Voyage Voyage? Boom Boom? Lambada? I haven't thought of those songs for ages! Maybe that's a good thing.

I have to admit I do like "Don't Worry be Happy" now. When it became a hit I knew Bobby McFerrin as a pretty serious jazz artist & was glad to see him having some fun. But man, did it get overplayed or what?

The first song I can think of that I absolutely hated is "Jam On It" by Newcleus. Wikki Wikki Wikki Wikki my ass.

But the one I hated most was "The Curly Shuffle" by the Jump 'N The Saddle Band. How in the world did that ever get released, much less become a hit?

the vietnman song "19" and rock my amadoes(sp) with dont worry be happy a close second.

I suspect I'll probably botch the spelling of the title of this song, but...

Jasper, the song title of that French-singing kid is "Ooh-la-la, Baby", or something like that. I don't know the artist's name.

I Want Candy by Bow Wow Wow irked me to no end, as did Edie Brickell's What I Am. I couldn't stand Don't Worry Be Happy either, heh. Ugh, I could go on. :lol:

i didnt really like the reflex from duran duran..=/

I totally agree with the Bobby McFerrin nominations.

Most of the one hit wonders I hated were the 90's. My least favorite was "Life is a Highway" song, I forgot the guy's name.

Tom Cochrane did "Life is a Highway". I thought it was a catchy little tune, made me want to learn to play the harmonica (never did though).

The worst???????? In my humble (and sometimes wrong opinion) the WORST WORST WORST was Video Killed The Radio Star by The Bugles. That song drove me to drinking and I still haven't drank enough to kill that song permantley. Just that high pitched dual monotone singing makes me wanna go jump in front of a fast moving VW Beetle. And get this!!!!! I was a DJ at the time and HAD to play that piece of garbage!!!! Does anyone feel sorry for me??? (at least buy me another beer???) ....

Maybe not really a one hit wonder, but it was a hit and I still wonder why! ;-)

Walk Of Life by the Dire Straits

Boy did I hate that silly tune!

Alot of those mentioned..I like.

But.................. WHAT I AM...has got to be one of my least favorites. I love LIFE IS A HIGHWAY (I WANNA RIDE IT ALL NIGHT LONG...catchy isn't it? But then again..we could discuss this in the LL :lol: )

LOL! Leave it to you to point out innuendo, girl!

As for annoying one hit wonders, I agree with the masses. "Don't Worry Be Happy" is a worthless song! They should destroy the master tapes for that song.

Puttin' on the Ritz by Taco is the worst 0ne hit Wonder of the 80s than all i've read here!! Also the song by Eddie Murphy, don't think it was a 1 hit, anyways!!

General Hospi-tale by The Afternoon Delights

good lord that song sucked!

C'mon what about
Pass the dutchie - musical youth
I hated that crap more than don't worry be happy

I like the voice of the little kid at the beginning of the song! :D

One of (2)

1.) "Respect Yourself" by Bruce Willis
2.) "Heartbeat" by Don Johnson

Devo - whip it

Gosh i hate that song and they still play it all the time on our radio station!!!!!!!!

Got to bump this topic up.. several just popped into my head:

OPP-Naughty By Nature(technically its not an 80s song but still an awful one-hit wonder no less)

Come Back and Stay-Paul Young

Centipiede-Rebbie Jackson

Pac-Man Fever-Buckner & Garcia

Ride The White Horse-Laid Back

Don't Worry Be Happy drove me insane!!! And if it wasn't bad enough that we had to hear it over and over, like a broken record...everybody started wearing the blasted Don't Worry Be Happy tshirts :rolleyes:

TTriggs, I like OPP, I even have it on my computer so I can listen to it every now and then :lol:

yeah, Whip It, gotta agree with you there.

and that song, "Kukoo Kitty, talks about the boy from NY city."

it always bothered me when he's talking like a girl. sounds creepy.
(sorry, some people prob like that one. lol)

I have to with Puttin on the Ritz....Damn that song drove me insane!!
A close second was Dont worry...How irratating was that song?

"Too Shy" by Kajagoogoo - Ack! I hated that song...and then the lead singer left the band and foisted the awful theme to an equally awful movie "The Neverending Story." :cry:

Can i named ''My Prerogative'' by Bobby Brown?? Anyway I hate almost all of his songs but that one is worst than all!! Also his music videos are so annoyed!!

Sorry Jefferson, but Bobby ain't no one hit wonder... he had 6 hits in the 80s and probably some in the 90s too...

Ok you are correct! :D

so I vote for ''Pass the dutchie'' by Musical Youth, horrible in my opinion! But the music video is pretty cool!

"How does it feel when you got no food... Paaaaass the cutchie on the left 'and side." :D

I am surprised nobody has mentioned Katrina And The Waves' "Walking on Sunshine" and the equally horrible "Shiny Shiny" by Haysee Fantasee. These two are up there with "Don't Worry, Be Happy" and "Puttin' On The Ritz."

Now, wat up wi Kaoma's "Lambada" :confused: I liked that song ;) Still play it in the car every so often. Good music vid too.

^^ with all the titles you said I agree except ''Walking on Sunshine'', that's an happy song, I like it a lot!! :cool: I like also the commercial with the babies for Fisher Price and you heard that song!! Funny a bunch!! :lol:

Renee and Renato - Save Your Love - No. 1 in the UK, made me want to punch the guy with a cornetto!

My list of worst OHW.

Aneka - Japanese Boy that voice........ :mwaha:
Billie Vera - At this moment :(

I hated "What I Am" by Edie Brickell and the Bohemians. The girl`s voice grated on me. I couldn`t understand why that song was sopopular.

I never had the shirt, but I like Frankie's songs. Especially Relax.

2 in a room's Wiggle It. Bad!

The first ones you mentioned I like. But, I'll go along with you on the last ones.

Stop by Sam Brown. It was a top 40 hit here in Canada. It was an OK song, but not one you'd listen to over and over again

Don't Worry, Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin....I hated that song when it was popular, and I still hate it now even if Bobby McFerrin is worried and unhappy! :mad:

"You're my obsession..
Who do you want me to be
to make you sleep with me.."
Yecch. We did have fun though laughing at the video, making fun of the girl singer's huge protruding ears.

I hated "What I Am" by Edie Brickell and the Bohemians. The girl`s voice grated on me. I couldn`t understand why that song was sopopular.

How could I forget this! I still remember making fun of this, to the wrath of some other people who thought it was so cool. When she sang "Shuck me into shallow water before I get too deep" I said "There's not much chance of THAT!" They thought I was "mean."

Here's one to talk about if you're unlucky enough to have heard it: "I've Never Been To Me" by Charlene

Don't Worry, Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin....I hated that song when it was popular, and I still hate it now even if Bobby McFerrin is worried and unhappy! :mad:

I have to agree with misterE on this one!!!!! It always made me want to put my foot throught the radio...

Now I have the song running in my head!!!!!!!!
(Thanx misterE)

Here's one to talk about if you're unlucky enough to have heard it: "I've Never Been To Me" by Charlene

Yes, it sucks!!!! :hissy: Actually I was lucky in that I never heard of it until a few years ago. A Japanese singer did a cover version called "Love Is All" but the lyrics weren`t stupid.

How could I forget..
"People are still having sex.

I totally forgot about that song! Oh Boo, indeed! I know it's gonna get stuck in my head now!

What about "Dr. Mr. Jesus"? This song was awful, sung by some little kid about getting beat up by her parents. So sad, So bad.

O remember Dr Mr. Jesus, It was just very sad. The one I think was the worst was Puttin On The Rits. Very sick of it.

That Charlene 'Never Been to me' song - do you mean the one that was in Priscilla Queen of the Desert? I loved that song. *prepares to be banned form this site forever* :bigcry:

Trio Da da da was the stupidest, most annoying and all adjectives-defy-me song ever.

That crappy murray head song"one night in bangkok". I have a version where they play some sort of like midevil stuff at the very beginning, and then they go into the song.

Puttin' on the Ritz by Taco is the worst 0ne hit Wonder of the 80s than all i've read here!! Also the song by Eddie Murphy, don't think it was a 1 hit, anyways!! You guys will get a kick out of this: I played that song of his"party all the time" a few months ago as i was a "guest DJ" somewhere??? the minute I played that song, believe it or not, the place went almost apesh*t. I just started to laugh.

You're right, "dont worry be happy" has got to be right up there at the top. I'd like to slap all the people at radio stations who helped make the song make it.

I totally agree with the Bobby McFerrin nominations.

Most of the one hit wonders I hated were the 90's. My least favorite was "Life is a Highway" song, I forgot the guy's name.
Arguably thee worst song EVER EVER EVER?????


That damn "macarena" song......ARGGGGGGGGGGGGG I hated that song and still do to this day. Those two idiots should be beaten to a bloody pulp, dipped in brown gravy, & then locked in a small room with a wolverine who's high on angeldust.

LOL! Leave it to you to point out innuendo, girl!

As for annoying one hit wonders, I agree with the masses. "Don't Worry Be Happy" is a worthless song! They should destroy the master tapes for that song.
EEK!!! wasnt that tom waites who did that???? how about that shitty song by the manhattan transfer?? That cool cool cutey tell us about the boy from NYC???? I despise that group and that song.


How about these "misses":

Tough enough-Fabulous thunderbirds
Keep your hands to yourself-georgia satellites
my sharona- the knack(if i hear that damn song one more time.....)
What i like about you-the romantics(see the last song)
pop goes the world-men without hats
Shut your mouth-julian cope
(that crappy)"I touch myself" song by the divinyls???

How about You Might Think by the Cars? I couldn't stand Ric Ocasek's delivery on that silly song and the goofy video.

yeeesh!!

That cool cool cutey tell us about the boy from NYC???? I despise that group and that song.

I am told that was my favorite song when I was VERY young, I heard it recently and had to laugh.

I love "Pop Goes the World" and will pretend you didn't say that... :p

"Shower Me With Your Love"
I didnt see an answer to who sings this, but it's SURFACE.

Seems that we are not the only ones that want to wretch when we hear "Dont Worry...". I saw something on VH1 and Bobby McFarrin himself hates the song too. ROFL!

Trio Da da da was the stupidest, most annoying and all adjectives-defy-me song ever.

That is a real great song, I love Trio, but only in german. In english it sounds silly... :D

i did'nt mind that song myself though ! something differant . :D

i can't stand American Pie - Don Mclean !!!
