What’s the best worst song ever?
Well, I don’t know. But I have a sneaking suspicion it’s probably something involving Elton John, Bernie Taupin, and William Shatner.
I could be wrong, though. But I don’t think so.
When I first saw it, when it was actually performed on the TV, I didn’t say a word. I think my capacity for speech was lost for some time. So, you’ve been warned.
Now that you’re properly inspired, how about taking over things for the remainder of the night? Yep, it’s Tuesday Night Open Thread.
Who wants to start?
As an MST3K expert, you should know that there are many #1 Worst Song Evers. (Terribleness occupies a multiworse of its own.)
As an example, may I suggest “Hooray For Santa Claus” from Santa Claus Conquers the Martians?
Best worst MST3K song:
Idiot Control Now

This gets my vote for worst song. Disliked it as performed by Elton John, and this is easily 1000 times worse.
MacArthur Park sung by Richard Harris – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRwYQgk05DY

Obama is vacationing in Indonesia.
That SCOTUS “Muslim ban” decision couldn’t have come at a better time.
Wishful thinking but that won’t stop him as he will use the “I have a job in the US loophole” to get back into the country.
Indonesia is not on the list of six.
It would probably be easy to convince a man who thinks that there are fifty-seven states that it’s on the list.
Star Trek actors make the list…

Here is an oldie that is still an appropriate song… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fqr-fQf-CVE&t=1s
As much as I like The Police:

PHEW! Stinkers.
Perhaps you haven’t heard Shatner’s attempt at Dylan’s “Mister Tambourine Man.” If that is the case, consider yourself privileged.
I was wondering why you didn’t post a link to it so I went over to Youtube to check it out…and now I know why you didn’t post a link to it. As bad as it is I think his version of Lucy in the Sky is worse but I won’t post a link to it for the same reason.
It’s Henry VIII’s birthday! He was born June 28, 1491. He may have written Greensleeves, and he had six wives (what a masochist!), two of whom were named Anne, and three of whom were named Catherine.
On a positive note he did get to behead a couple.
Dude….harsh. 😀
Canned Heat “Going Up The Country”
Easily the worst rock song EVER recorded. (I specify rock because I could be here all day ripping on innumerable Rap and Pop songs.)
Edward “The Bear” Hite couldn’t carry a tune for 2 feet in a bucket! Only a drug-addled hippie could’ve listened to this whole thing without feeling an irresistible urge to puke! That voice is like fingernails down a chalkboard! Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Tiny Tim and an adolescent Donny Osmond all sound like Sinatra by comparison!
…And damn you GEICO for the recent series of commercials containing this poisonous earworm!
UUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!!
