rolling fuck this shit worst songs of 2015 thread

haha, i read that ^ as he's unveiling, like, a new basketball jersey on the merch section of his website, and it says Macklemore on the back and Downtown on the front where the city name would go, and he'd probably be #2 because, y'know, dropping a deuce

I'm deeply conflicted on best/worst here:

Alaska Thunderfuck - This Is My Hair
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9RQlv5iXHI

SHUT UP THIS SONG IS THE BEST GET IT OFF THIS THREAD ASAP

did Slim Jesus shoot up this thread yet?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cw3eLk8Gu8

impressive for how quickly it establishes itself as garbage

yuck.

what, is this the crazy frog kid ten years later?

Slim Jesus a viral star? The old generation of viral stars must be facepalming in their graves.

On the question "Does This Is My Hair belong here?", I was tempted to say yes, but that song seems pretty unremarkable, even dull, to me. The video and bad jokes do make it quite annoying.

"feat. Tyga" - the two most chilling words in the English language

This is a quick, third-quarter reminder that all available tracks mentioned on this thread are being updated to the thread-specific Spotify playlist as posted. I just did another top-to-bottom sweep prior to posting this message and have updated as of today with everything that's been added since first mentioned.

61 tracks, 3+ hours. Good luck getting through it.

Rolling Worst Songs of 2015 Thread Spotify Playlist

haha oh boy i didn't know you were doing that one wow

It's a good year to do a poll!

We'll have to veto out a few entries. I don't think e.g. Joanna Newsom or Demi Lovato can really match the thread's low bar for consensus awfulness

did tyga just boast "i've got the TheraFlu"?

god what a bad song. this kind of lyrical theme is pretty much guaranteed to launch something into this thread, but it manages to get so much of the low-level craft stuff so wrong even while being just about as bone-headed with regard to the premise as i would have guessed.

Maybe not quite on the level on some of the other material here, but not good either:

Another vote for Macklemore's "Downtown"

xp Even on their weaker material from recent years, Matt Tong was a bright spot. Now they don't even have him (or Gordon) anymore.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

feel obliged to point out that there's a new mercury rev album

Oh Alaska... and every RuPaul's Drag Race contestant with a single dropping for that matter...

the new Jesu/Sun Kil Moon song starts out bad - akin to the last SKM record - and then takes a turn for the worse

currently winning the thread imo

"NEW AMERICANA" CENSORSHIP WATCH DAY 107: Halsey's video was on TV in New Zealand. These truly are the Halsey-On days. Unfortunately The Edge TV is censoring the "marijuana" line, thus suppressing her meaningful message. (Kiwis barely even know what weed is.) Thanks to a cheapo audio reversal, she now sings "Smoking legal anaaa-wram". I didn't pay much attention to the vid itself, but, like you'd expect, it contains fuzzy VHS effect nonsense and Halsey being tied to a stake.

Even though all the posts on the song here are about radio censorship, we *are* considering "New Americana" one of the worst of '15, right?

Andy Grammar's "Honey, I'm Good" is the only hit single from this year that I actually hate more.

We'll have to let the voters decide :-) For me, there's at least a dozen songs in the thread that I dislike more than "New Americana" – it doesn't push my buttons as much as, say, "Fucking Bitches in the Hood". Anything really lazy and mean-spirited, that's what I like (i.e. hate).

If last year's top 2 is anything to go by, the poll winners won't necessarily be the two most 'unlistenable' songs, but two well-known and terrible songs. I reckon "Marvin Gaye" is a shoo-in, but MAYBE NOT, it's all to play for.

No, Marvin Gaye is absolutely a shoo-in.

few things in life make me as furious as "Honey, I'm Good"

like sure, it'd be great to be the maverick and vote for something other than the well-known consensus pick but "Honey, I'm Good" invokes a kind of rage nothing else matches

same, there have been points where i've put myself and others in serious danger because the first half second ("NA-") came on the radio and 100% of my attention immediately goes to making it stop

there has never been a sound more unpleasant than andy grammer going "NAW NAW"

you guys are seriously not giving due consideration to "#OMW2SYG (Swiggity Swooty)" by SPLURT
don't make me post it again

Feline Resurrection not getting enough consideration here

It takes a while to respond to, what with the video being about two weeks long. For those who haven't seen/heard it, it's like if the Albatraoz people decided to be intellectuals.

Feline Resurrection is like the cat equivalent of the bird-people wrestling anthem from Always Sunny.

also i'm pretty sure the opening is racist although its also incoherent so its kind of hard to get a handle on

The translation on the intro to Feline Resurrection doesn't work at all because in Chinese she's clearly specifying "cow milk" which has no sexual connotation whatsoever (also you 'eat' breast milk in Chinese, but anyway). Guessing that whoever translated it really didn't care, and can't blame them.

I have been in Germany and unable to watch most of the videos in this thread. Which I found annoying, until just now, when back in my GEMA-free home, I played Feline Resurrection, which is not only the worst song on this thread, but the worst song of all time. WHO COULD THAT APPEAL TO AND WHY ARE THEY NOT IN JAIL ALREADY?

why is the video for Feline Resurrection 7 minutes long?

The least erotic erotic introduction of all time adds an endless couple of minutes.

wow that j sutta thing

"We were already sold when we saw these three giant yetis shredding it in PPL MVR's only video - but then we heard the music, and were completely won over. Not much is yet known about this power trio - other than they only communicate in interviews through grunts. The future of rock might be slightly hairier now, but colour us intrigued.

i don't know what the hell to make of the visuals but annie is at least not revolting on first listen.

oh man that J Sutta thing is like a perfect storm of stupid people watching Twigs and thinking "we can do this" plus some kind of Cats-the-musical-goes-BDSM nightmare

haha forks i knew you would be the one who would like it

*shrug* i wouldn't go so far as LIKE IT but i listened to it once and don't feel scarred, please pass me my "this guy loves autotuned sasquatches" shirt

I'm not watching the J Sutta video but I am listening to the audio; the song is incredibly embarrassing, like "Corey Feldman with a production budget"-level embarrassing

It's good how the cat intro was acted in English, then dubbed into Chinese and subtitled in English. That's dedication.

I think we've had worse. But in the interest of fairness, I'd like to see "Feline Regurgitation" extended to include a list of credits and ads for merch.
