Most nauseating song ever

Why so much hatred brother ? World is indeed a wonderful thing and so is this song.

That is one of my all time favourites! Perhaps the most lovely words I know in any pop song, and one cannot but admire [at the least - I love his work] Louis Armstrong for having such a hit when he was, I believe, 70!

In any case [even if i am wrong about his age], I find it one of the most uplifting pieces of mujsic I know!

I have always spent my efforts to minimise negativity on the Music Room, and would only say that if you cannot say anything nice, say nothing at all.

ATB from George

Overplayed. Couldn't the programme makers use a bit more intelligence and find something else?

I know what you mean JM - when the BBC was doing the Tennis, it kept playing a background of really annoying rap stuff - have they never heard of the Tremoloes Silence Is Golden - the links between shows have the most dreary music imaginable and my pet hate choreography.

However I don't dislike Sachmo - he had all the time in the world.

Rose tinted specs anyone?

Yep - wear mine all the time - best way when you're a Tractor Boy.

These would be better for that:-
Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses have been specially designed to help people develop a relaxed attitude to danger. At the first hint of trouble, they turn totally black and thus prevent you from seeing anything that might alarm you.

Will check out a pair first thing - just what I need.

Especially useful when encountering The Ravenous Bug Blatter beast Of Trall: "Daft as a hairbrush, the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal is arguably the most insanely idiotically dense creature in existence. It believes that if you can't see it, it can't see you. Therefore, if you are faced by the horrid (yes, horrid, in spite of its intelleigence, or lack of) Beast you should wrap your towel around your head (you do have one, don't you!?) to TEMPORARILY ward off the Beast's voracious apetite and furious... fury... sorry. Yes, temporarily. The Beast WILL eventually realise its mistake and find you. Also, for further confusion on the Beast's part, you may scratch your name somewhere. To that we will come. In vanity or for poor memory's sake, each Beast keeps a record of its killings and eatings. This list is usually in an ante-room from the main chamber, and therefore easily accessible. This list is easily accessible and defacable, to which we are, by degrees, coming. It is easily defacable by the many rocks strewn about the lair floor invariably favoured by Beasts of Traal. Which is terribly convenient, Traal being a very rocky planet. Whilst being concealed with in your towel, grab a handy rock and scratch your name into the list. The Beast will now think it has already eaten you, giving you more time to escape. Note that no one has actually PROVED this first-hand, and neither the Guide nor any of its researchers (especially myself) take any responsibility for any personal injury sustained during the execution of the above tactics, and be warned you take this advice at your own risk.'

I'm with George, it's a wonderful song. Now if you want something truly nauseating you need to turn to something like Celine Dion and My Heart Will Go On, and on, and on (a bit like the damn movie).


Speaking of peril sensitive sunglasses, there is another Hitchhiker's connection - the original Radio 4 series (and indeed subsequent TV series) closed with What a Wonderful World.

Good grief, what a strange choice of song to rail against! Anything by Chris de Burgh would be a legitimate target or that bloody Michael Ball singing "Love, Love Changes Everything". But ol' Satchmo, in that gravelly voice and in his twilight years? I think not. Shoot the berk who elected to use it in that way.

Anything by Chris de Burgh

even Spanish Train?

It's a great song, but my stomach gave a little heave when a US broadcaster played Beck's "The Golden Age" over the closing credits of the 2004 World Series baseball. This was when the Red Sox finally won against all sort of reasonable odds; thus defeating the "Curse of the Bambino".

"What a wonderful world" doesn't come close!



I nominate 'Fast Food Song' by Fast Food Rockers.

"More Fun Than You Can Shake A Shake At!

The Fast Food Song
Can I Take Your Order Please?

Let's Eat To The Beat

(chorus)
A Pizza Hut A Pizza Hut
Kentucky Fried Chicken And A Pizza Hut
A Pizza Hut A Pizza Hut
Kentucky Fried Chicken And A Pizza Hut
Mcdonalds Mcdonalds
Kentucky Fried Chicken And A Pizza Hut
Mcdonalds Mcdonalds
Kentucky Fried Chicken And A Pizza Hut

You Like It You Love It
You Know You Really Want It
The Voices I Hear
Whenever You're Around"


Yuck!

People ask for real crap to be played at Crem funerals. And then expect the officiant to say how wonderful it is!

Celine Dion, 'My Heart Will Go On' is particularly puke-worthy.

But how about also...

Whitney Houston, 'I Will Always Love You'?
Robson Green & Jerome Flynn, 'Unchained Melody'?
Bryan Adams, 'Everything I Do, I Do It For You'?
Bette Midler, 'The Wind Beneath My Wings'? (Sorry, Bette)
Joe Cocker & Jennifer Warnes, '(Love Lifts Us) Up Where We Belong'?
Frank Sinatra, 'My Way'? (What a lot of b*llocks that is)

Vomit.

I feel better for that. Thank you.

A good list James. Add to it "Honey" by Bobby Goldsborough!

The otherwise excellent Stockfisch Vinyl collection sampler has a truly nauseating song on it - Paul Stephenson "Captain of the Loving Kind". I can feel the vomit rising in my throat at the mere mention of it!

Paul Stephenson "Captain of the Loving Kind".

Is he moonlighting?

A little too much information thank you Munch. Whatever turns you on, I suppose. Yes, he is lovely isn't he

Not "our" Barry!!!!!

I think James has called it right.

It's got to be Robson & Jerome with Unashamed Melodrama.

It was an awful song to begin with - all those vocal acrobatics, and the title is nauseating enough on its own.

He said hump not lump.

Most nauseating song ever?

It has to be one of the following:

Brown-Eyed Girl by Van Morrison
True by Spandau Ballet
Come on Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners
Fairytale of New York by The Pogues

Being a sentimental old thing, I quite like Satch singing "What A Wonderful World" - although I can see why it wasn't appropriate in the context Jeremy mentioned.

Not "our" Barry!!!!!

Not ours Biggy, he's the devil's knob cheese!
