not up there with '500 miles' by any stretch, but well overplayed in its season. plus some easy trainspotter-fodder.
Got to 1:54 and had to ditch. And I *really* liked it way back when.

Sorry I'm eally late in to this thread and not got past page 4. But the first sight of Phil Collins stopped me dead in my tracks. How the Fucker avoided public execution for another day in paradise, is beyond me.

When it comes to David Tennant doing a Dennis Potter, you can’t go past the bizarre majesty that is __Blackpool__…
O.o
Oh, and anyone who says show tunes are stupid can BITE ME in triple time.
That one is awesome. I was watching it on the night and immediately started hunting it down on YT

Pete,
I agree with Martin, most reggae bores the tits off me.Mighty Diamonds are ok.
I mean, what do ya do during those long spaces in between notes? Play scrabble?The worst song has got to be
which only marginally outdoes "Shadow on the Wall" by Mike Oldfield for repetitivenessBut yeah, Lloyd Webber is the Nickelback of stolen light classical - makes Mancini sound like Bach's Art of Fugue - might be stretching it a bit there

Another dog for the ugly song department:

Here's one from 1976, with Midge Ure's former band:
And this is the Ultravox I preferred, pre-Ure. I got the album from a very clued in friend in exchange for a white shirt. God knows where the vinyl went but I managed to pick up a CD later.
For someone who didn't much like punk, I'm still a little surprised at how much I enjoyed Foxx's Ultravox.

That’s a bit harsh. I see him more as a kind of latter day Sir Arthur Sullivan. Especially fond of Jesus Christ Superstar….now how does that song go again…
dong dong dow / dabadaba da / dong dong dow / dabadaba da….My mind is clearer now…… Ah yes, that’s it, featuring the vocal talents of the late great Carl Anderson:

You can almost forgive them for naming one of my most disliked...

There’s no loco without Yoko.

A few of you out there may recall Auckland Walk, a genuinely terrible group who controversially won the Battle of the Bands in (iirc) 1984.
Like all bands you thought were long gone, they live on on MySpace.

"Don't just sit there, Gaffer something!"Remember back in the day when proper good gaffer was quite hard to come by? The rockstar roadies would saunter around with their own special stock.

Many people find it very hard to get to the end of this one.

On the subject of dubious Aussie 80s songs, perhaps a nice summation:
D Generation - Five In A Row <edit> - itself released as a single

This monstrosity was all over Aussie radio two years ago. I was working in a kitchen where I heard it many, many times.
Australian commercial radio is so bad that a mundane nationwide 'youth' station Triple J is allowed by law to market itself as fresh and innovative.

With respect. an even more vile Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep:
There was a lot worse stuff around then, like the Mike Curb Congregation's odious Burning Bridges, but Chirpy Chirp had to be the Everest of twee. I remember two Australian wannabe punkettes in the late 70s having an 'I was a punk before you were' confrontation, the final putdown being "Bullshit, I can just see you back then sitting at home wearing stripey socks listening to Chirpy Chirpy Cheep." -
This used to play on the local radio station way back when. I only ever remembered the chorus, took no notice whatsoever of the verses (I was very young). I thought it was some sort of religious song because of the chorus <edit> ("Don't you ever let a chance go by, oh lord"). Never knew what it was called or who performed it. A year or so ago I stumbled upon it looking for something else and heard it again. Ah...
Bob Hudson - Newcastle Song.
