The first video I would like to share with you is a real irritant. It is called "Black Betty," by a group named "Ram Jam." From what I understand, it is a song about Ray Charles' mother? Or possibly a musket, as Wikipedia has no clue.

Here is a link to Ram Jam's- Black Betty

And lastly, this is a song by the band, "War," with guest singer Eric Burdon. You may know Eric as the singer from "House of the Rising Sun," which is an extraordinary song. This one, however, is not.

Here is a link to War's Spill the Wine

I don't know what it is about these two songs that drive me insane, but to each his own. Please post your own clunkers and I look forward to playing them.

“Like A Virgin”. Hated it even when I was in college.

The worst song I have ever heard is **** the Pain Away by Peaches.

I will not link a video, it isn’t for actual people, no one should listen to it at all, it is not safe work or anything else, and Peaches’ dad should be ashamed of himself.

I have two.

The first is a pretty bad song with a worse video.

The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins

The next is an interesting piece, but the video is definitely "WTF" worthy.

I Advance Masked (Andy Summers/Robert Fripp)

I always think that Fripp has that "get me out of here" look on his face during the the proceedings.

“More Than Words” by Extreme. The sappy anthem of every horndog teenage boy who desperately wants his girlfriend to put out.

And then there are some very strange music videos.

Here is an example:

Worst song is Melanie’s “Brand New Key.” We found it on a jukebox in a Chicago bar in the mid-80s. Pumped in enough quarters for it to play six times, then left.

We never went back there.

For me that one is really easy.

Bette Davis Eyes by Kim Carnes, absolutely dreadful.

The song that makes my ears bleed is “You’re Beautiful” by James Blunt. He deserves to be beaten with something blunt for that song(?)

Angel Baby by Rosie and the Originals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xm3qnh1sck

At 1:54 you can here the piano player lose the beat. Recorded in somebody’s basement, they didn’t even use a mic, they just shouted into bare wires.
