The trick is to turn the volume down so you can just look at her. :eek:

Scary. She looks like a drag queen IMHO.

Expect to have additional entries to bad songs, BUT
I'm still recovering from adouglas's picture of the modern Sheena E.

Time has not been kind, nor the Twinkies :p

The most beautiful women...those with enduring beauty, I mean... are those who don't rely on makeup to look good. Sheena was always made up to within an inch of her life.

Harsh words indeed from a man who has to hide behind his bass!

And that dress is absolutely hideous. Does she do her shopping on QVC???
 
^ The White Stripes, anything by them... the guy who does the guitar and vocals actually said he likes it when his guitar is out of tune :rolleyes:

I like it when his volume is turned all the way down myself

I can't stand Ricky Martin. Especially when I have it in my head. How did it get in there?

He just samba-ed his way right in there, butt shaking and all, Holler! ;)

It's true, I had that stupid song "La Vida Loca" in my head for about 2 solid weeks once. He made me want to live a crazy life and take away the pain like a bullet to my brain, that's for sure. :D

I actually thought I had "discovered" Ricky Martin (Mar-teen) when I was living in Spain in '97. He was really popular there with his futbol song "Un, dos, tres, ole ole ole...", which wasn't half-bad, as long as you didn't hear it 1000 times a day on the radio. About 6 months after I got home, "La Vida Loca" broke onto American airwaves and stole any soul that music had.
 
La Vida Loca....drives them wild on the dance floor.

Here's some I've had to play and never want to hear again

Rose Garden
Wind Beneath My Wings
How Do I live Without You
Lady Marmalade
Jump
Addicted To Love
 
Out of desperation, I did an audition over the phone for a standing casino gig in Reno. I got the gig. When the tape and play list arrived, the first song on it was "Feelings". I immediately called singer to tell him I had to pass.

Don't knock it 'til you've tried it.

For me, maybe 50% of hating a song is based on context. For example, Tommy Roe's "Sweet Pea" (from the early '60s) always made me gag, but then I learned that it was "our song" for my wife's brother & his dwarf hunchback wife. I've got to show a little restraint here, though--she just died 2 days ago.

Another song that always drove me up a wall was that sappy ballady thing from the '70s,"Alone Again"--I'm not sure if that was the title--the lyrics were something like "In about another hour, if I'm not feeling any less sour, I promised myself I'd treat myself & visit a nearby tower...and throw my poor self off." Anyway, I always hated the song & the anorexic pencil-necked geek who sang it, but it really crossed over to loathing when I was sitting in a little club/restaurant near the University of Cincinnati & this song was playing. I heard a noise like someone letting the air out of balloon, roughly in tune with the song & I looked over at some little hunchback guy singing to some other street person kind of guy, I think the hunchback was trying to get a little man love from his companion. Well, of course that cinched it.

As I type this, I am trying to figure out whether there is any significance to the hunchback factor or if it is just coincidence. I mean it really wasn't until much later that Disney ruined hunchbacks for me with his singing Quasimodo cartoon.

One of my buddies had a CD of hers for some reason, and when I tried to listen to it I started wishing I was in the Heavens Gate cult back when the comet passed through :D

Sorry to hear about your wifes brothers wife...

@ Candid: once again you made me almost spit diet pepsi everywhere

The "anorexic pencil-necked geek" who sang "Alone Again Naturally" was Gilbert O'Sullivan. Interestingly enough this song was by no means his low point which was reached with a vile number called "Clair" about his 9 year old niece which was in the UK charts forever . He did have some better stuff though .........all long forgotten now.
