Weird Al Yankovic - Achy Breaky Heart Song

You can torture me with Donnie and Marie
You can play some Barry Mantiloe
Or you can play some shlock like New Kids on the Block
Or any Villiage People song you know
Or play Vanilla Ice, hey you can play him twice
and you can play the BeeGees anyday
But Mr. DJ please, I'm begging on my knees
I just can't take no more of Billie Ray

(1st chorus)

Don't play that song. That Achy Breaky song
The most anoying song I know
and if you play that song, that Achy Breaky song
I might blow up my radio. Hooooo

(2nd verse)

You can clear the room by playing Debbie Boone
Or crank your Abba records until dawn
Oh, I could even hear Slim Whitman or Zamfair
Don't mind a Yoko Ono marathon
Or play some Tiffany on 8 track or CD
Or scratch your fingernails across the board
Or tie me to a chair, and kick me down the stairs
Just please don't play that stupid song no more

(2nd chorus)

Don't play that song. That Achy Breaky song
You know I hate that song a bunch
And if you play that song, that Achy Breaky song
It might just make me lose my lunch. Hoooooo

3rd chorus

Don't play that song. That Achy Breaky song
I think it's driving me insane
Oh, please don't play that song, that irritating song
I'd rather have a pitchfork through my brain.

(repeat 1st Chorus)

[KJacob]

Number one should be "Imagine" by John Lennon.

[South40]

I don't know; I think "I Am Woman" by Helen Reddy deserves the title.

how about
MacArthur Park
Yummy Yummy Yummy
You're Having My Baby

[bassmaner]

What, no mention of 'Macarthur Park'?

Someone left a cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again

Probably the dumbest lyric ever!

[wardaddy]

The list is endless.

Sorry about Starship, I confess to being an old Airplane fan. Surrealistic Pillow was pretty different back then.

This is my favorite:

Mr. Roboto
Written by Dennis DeYoung
Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Mata ah-oo hima de
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Himitsu wo shiri tai

You're wondering who I am-machine or mannequin
With parts made in Japan, I am the modren man

I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin
My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M.
So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised
I'm just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide
To keep me alive-just keep me alive
Somewhere to hide to keep me alive

I'm not a robot without emotions-I'm not what you see
I've come to help you with your problems, so we can be free
I'm not a hero, I'm not a saviour, forget what you know
I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control
Beyond my control-we all need control
I need control-we all need control

I am the modren man, who hides behind a mask
So no one else can see my true identity

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For doing the jobs that nobody wants to
And thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For helping me escape just when I needed to
Thank you-thank you, thank you
I want to thank you, please, thank you

The problem's plain to see: too much technology
Machines to save our lives. Machines dehumanize.

The time has come at last
To throw away this mask
So everyone can see
My true identity...
I'm Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy!

Canteen DeeJay's PING

Let us know what y'all think.

My vote would be "American Pie". Can't stand it...

[Mr. Mojo]

"Rock And Roll Hootchie Koo" (by Rick Derringer) has got to be up there near the top.

[NCPAC]

"We Built this City" as the worst hit-single ever? Granted, it's terrible - but the worst? For my $ the worst hit-single ever was "Put Your Hand in the Hand.." by Ocean. (Summer of '71, I think.)

The Best hit-single (top 40) song ever is "Baby Talks Dirty," by The Knack. What a piece of smarta$$ed, risque ear candy that tune is!

[wardaddy]

for fun!

[Preachin']

My all-time least favorite:

"Islands in the Stream"-Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton

[Dog Gone]

Any list that doesn't include Barry Manilow's "Mandy" is fundamentally flawed.

[Dane]

The magazine said the Starship song earned the accolade because it inspired "the most virulent feelings of outrage"

Some questions.

Why did "Jefferson Airplane" change their name to "Jefferson Starship"?

And when did they know it?

[axel f]

Disco, disco duck
Disco, disco duck
Try your luck
Don't be a cluck!

[N. Theknow]

We didn't Start the Fire - Billy Joel?

Born in the USA - Springsteen

These get my vote.

[BibChr]

No no no, "We Built This City" is an OK song.

"Ebony" is really bad. But there are others:

"Someone's Knockin' On M'Door" (Wings)
"Once...Twice...Three Times a Lady" (Commodores)
"Fire" (what's her name?)
"You're Love Is Lifting Me Higher" (same?)
"Don't Go Breakin' My Heart" (Elton John etc.)
"Crocodile Rock" (ditto)

I could go on and on.

[Cagey]

My favorite Worst Single ever....................

Surfing Bird

Well everybody's heard about the bird
Bird bird bird Bird is the word
Don't you know about this bird Well everybody knows that bird is a word
Bird bird bird bird is a word

[Xenalyte]

I can't believe no one has mentioned "Dreams of the Everyday Housewife." UGH!

Or how about "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"?
