Worse than what? 
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Re: Worse songs of the 90's
I'm too sexy taken as intended is a hilarious song. Too many take it seriously tho.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

Re: Worse songs of the 90's
They are not the worst songs (consider, for example, "Oops I Did It Again"), but on that list Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" is the absolute bottom, no contest. I have on occasion advocated military action against Canada in retaliation for, among other things, Celine Dion.
GAH!
Re: Worse songs of the 90's
Some of those songs are parodies/piss-takes and IMO shouldn't be up there with the real dross:
Right Said Fred, 'I'm Too Sexy'
Chumbawamba, 'Tubthumping'
Aqua, 'Barbie Girl'
Have these people forgotten about the atrocities against music commited by 'artists' such as:
Take That - A Million Love Songs
Color Me Badd - I Wanna Sex You Up
Meatloaf - I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)
The Verve - The Drugs don't Work
D-ream – Things Can Only Get Better
Culture Beat - Mr Vain
Gina G - Ooh Aah Just A Little Bit
Bryan Adams - (Everything I Do) I Do It For You
Brian May - Driven By You
Spice Girls - Wannabe
I'd better stop there. I could go on for some time...

Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?

Hilarious video, too...the whole thing, I recall, as a parody of the fashion industry.Crackpot wrote:I'm too sexy taken as intended is a hilarious song. Too many take it seriously tho.
Re: Worse songs of the 90's
And hey Sean, piss off! Anything For Love is a great song (albeit a WEIRD & not-too-great video). :p
Re: Worse songs of the 90's
Celine, hands down open misere, wins.
I am actually quite fond of Right Said Fred and Chumbawumba. But then, as my husband will testify, I have no musical taste.

Chumbawumba does not hold up to the test of time

Will you join me in urging our respective governments to place sanctions against Canada?The Hen wrote:Celine, hands down open misere, wins.

Re: Worse songs of the 90's
I would. But I haven't a leg to stand on. I don't have a musical gene in my body. My sanction could probably be easily thrown out!
Bah!

Which explains how you can stomach Gobs "music".
