The Viewpoint - Top 5 worst songs ever
Music is a funny beast. Some songs can bring such joy and raw emotion that they'll almost become a reflection of who you are.
The following five songs do not fall into that category.
1. Unchained Melody - The Righteous Brothers.
Lists of this nature are notoriously hard to complete, but no matter how many times I reflect, this song continuously rises to the top of my most hated songs of all time.
2. Walking On Sunshine - Katrina and the Waves
This band has earned a living off the royalties of this song which reached Number 4 in Australia in 1985. This fact makes me hate the song even more.
3. Come on Eileen - Dexys Midnight Runners
Where ever Eileen is I wish she'd bloody hurry up and get there as we've been hearing Dexys Midnight Runners bang this one out for nearly 30 years.
4. My Sharona - The Knack
Could very well have listed higher in the list. This song simply refuses to die.
5. Khe Sahn - Cold Chisel
This Aussie 'classic' is a favourite amongst karaoke fans. Having grown up in a small town in central Victoria, declaring this song a shocker at the time would have sealed my death sentence.
Unlucky not to make the list include:
Summer of '69 - Bryan Adams
Wind Beneath My Wings - Bette Midler
Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison (not Van's fault, but he should've made it harder to play so crap cover bands couldn't churn out their version).
The Bus Stop - Dunno who wrote this but I now avoid weddings like the plague.
Anything Country and/or Western.
Do you agree with the list? What songs would feature in your most hated of all time?
