we built this city, worst song ever!!

[adam]

It seems obvious to me that the point of that list was just to push people's buttons. They can't honestly be serious in voting for these songs as being the worst of all time. Many of them are quite good. Come one, Beatles, the Doors, the Beach Boys? Their worst songs are still much better then most of current music out right now, and they didn't even pick their worst ones by far.

Isn't Blender one of Maxim's spinoffs? Like Stuff and all the others? If so that pretty much explains it. They are really just joke magazines. Their reviews are ridiculous. All their picks for movies, music, video games etc are way off. I literally doubt they even watch/listen/play them before writing the reviews because they never give a reason why something is bad or good, they just slam it or praise it.

I assume VH1's list is going to be their own right? I cant imagine they would use these songs.

[tgpo]

It's all subjective. It's just one person's opinion of what the worst songs are.

[Sifaga]

My 3 all time worst songs ever are:

Stairway to Heaven
American Pie
Bohemian Rapsody (Queen)

in that order

They always cause me to dive for the off button on the radio.

[Ripper2860]

Anything by The Wiggles.

The Wiggles are dorks. What is worse, is that my 2.5 year old son likes them. I hear fruit salad, yumee yumee all the time.

Why??? Just because those songs are overplayed does not make them bad. American Pie is alright at best actually but the two others are simply classic epics, great achievements of mankind.

no the George Forman Grill is a great achievement of mankind those songs are just annoying

[888888]

I love the Foreman grill so I forgive you.

[Sifaga]

[adam]

I actually don't like the Foreman grill, at least not if you use it as intended. It sucks all the fat and grease out of it and the meat just turns out really dry. I prop up the grill and keep all that good stuff. Looking at George my guess is he does the same. Man those last 2 fights of his were funny stuff.

There'll be a new forum section, how to hack food preparation items to allow unhealthy cooking.

Do you remember that guy who was here briefly who got off on microwaving DVDs, CDs, his friend's cell phone, etc.? Whatever happened to him? Maybe he played around with the interlock and microwaved himself

I'd imagine he was here briefly as his "friends" probably stove his skull in when they found out he was microwaving their phones

[Cobra]

Capmaster

I don't remember him but I bet he can't touch what me and a few mates did to the nice, new microwave the uni gave us. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you microwave fire? We took a lit cigarette, two coasters and covered it with a thick glass. The fire forms a plasma with all the energy, and you can hear the gas vibrating with all the pent-up energy. Finally, it exploded. Yes!!

I've put a video up that you can take a look at:

Here's the aftermath - you can see how thick the glass we used was:



Enjoy!

And there were university staff who thought you guys couldn't be trusted with new microwaves

The video was pretty awesome though

I had a classmate who would microwave every aol disc he could run across. He eventually dropped out because he was to good to learn hardware. In networking, you need both hardware and software knowledge. He never took the A+ class.

[gitreel]

please don't go. I think they said that over a hundred times in that song. couldn't they come up with any other words?

[Cobra]

Microwaves are so much fun! After what you saw in the video, we were trying that trick where you microwave water for ages. Apparently, it gets way above 100 deg C and when you tap it, it vapourises in an instant. I'm a biologist, not a physicist so I can't say if it's true or not.

It would be cool if it were, though.

True. Water needs an imbalance to boil. If it's heated up too evenly and nothing mechanically perturbs it, it could remain that way until it cools down. When you stick a spoon in it, that disrupts it enough and it rapidly boils away. It doesn't always work - usually the water boils in a microwave just like on a stove-top.

[Cobra]

That's what was happening to us. I think it's because the microwave has a turntable in it. Never mind - we'll just need to break that before we can mess about with rapid-boiling water!

hahaha, i've put lit cocktails sticks in the micro-ding before, pretty plasma. but trapping it in a glass, that's inspired!

Edit:
Are you into the pyro scene at all, or was ths just something to do when drunk?

[SatStorm]

Personal taste differs. Also when English ain't your native language, plenty of those "bad" songs are great! I mean, who gives a shit about lyrics, the music only counts for most of us! Maybe that's why techno/trance/electro/etc are popular in Europe. They are not based on lyrics...

Anyway, here is the worst song ever
The latest from David himself



I don't know title, but the picture said it all!

[888888]

Is that David Hasselhoff?

Yep it is!

Trust me, you won't find anyone who will disagree with you on that

It's bad enough we have to put up with David Hasselhoff's acting career over here - the horror of even the thought of him singing is more than one can bear

[Cobra]

I prefer the term "pyromaniac"!

but trapping it in a glass, that's inspired!

Why, thank you!

Who else has watched that video?

[Roundabout]

Personal most-hated song of the last 30 years (if I have to name only one):

"Disco Duck" by Rick Dees and his Cast of Idiots.

Yes, that was actually the name of his so-called "band". Just the introduction with the duck quacking and all was enough to make me dive for the tuning knob. God, I hated that song! I must have heard the introduction a thousand times, but thankfully I didn't have to hear the song through more than once - the first and last time I heard it. Just the thought of hearing it makes me wanna heave, even now.
