O.K., I swear I will stop adding new and even more cursed things to this topic soon, but I remembered that time Lena Dunham made the worst pro-Hillary 2016 election song imaginable and I can't not add this to the discussion. One kind thing you can say about it is that it does accurately showcase the brainworms of Hillary fans.
Notice, if you will, the dislike ratio on this video.
What the fuck is an "Official Rapped Music Video"? Every single word of that phrase makes no sense.
Lady in red. Makes me feel murderous.
I was considering putting this song on my original list, but I remembered that I once spoke to a Chris de Burgh fan (they do exist, sadly), who said that "Lady in Red" was the
best Chris de Burgh song. That means that, as bad as "Lady in Red" is, there are literally
hundreds of Chris de Burgh songs that are worse than "Lady in Red". Somewhere out there, on some Chris de Burgh album or other, is
the worst Chris de Burgh song, a song so much worse than "Lady in Red" that even his own fans don't like it. I don't want to hear this song, whatever it is, because I suspect that listening to it will cause seizures.
Stories of de Burgh's delusional narcissism are legendary in the music industry. I once sank many pints with a former member of his road crew, who told me that he insisted on booking the biggest venues everywhere he went because he thought he was the biggest star in the world. Often the venues would be barely 20% full. So the promoters would only sell tickets right at the front of the venue, and the crew would use loads of smoke machines and shine lights directly into his face so that he couldn't see past the first few rows to the cavernous emptiness behind. He also literally believes that his music can heal the sick, no exaggeration. As the guy put it "he's the leader of a cult with no worshippers".
Oh, add this song to the pile:
I hate 99.99% of all Christmas music, but this shitheap really stands out. It sounds like it was recorded, mixed and mastered in about 15 minutes, with Paul flapping away at his keyboard for a single, very ropey take (the delay effect on the synth isn't quite sync'd up to the song's tempo and he doesn't quite play it in time, which is why the chorus sounds like such a clusterfuck), and the producer adding some sleighbells near the end and going home to collect their cheques. And because this piece of shit, that would earn you maybe a D+ for GCSE music performance if you played it in school assembly, was written by Paul McCartney it sold a bajillion copies and assaults the ears of luckless retail workers to this day. Paul McCartney went from Sergeant Pepper to this phoned-in rubbish. I mean, John Lennon's "Merry Christmas (War is Over)" is an atrocity as well, but at least that song sounds like the people involved were fucking trying.
