favourite songs of all time (or has this been done already?)

[Keef]

I'm with *Bob* with regards Dylan, but I've definitely had this conversation on here before.

[*Bob*]

Fair enough, David.

But I warn you.. I warn you all.. if anyone else dares to submit any of their so-called 'favourite songs' which don't pass the cool test, I will be back!

[Maximay]

Ok then how about putting a different spin on things, whats the worst song you have heard,

Shaddupa your face - by some foreign fella (or someone pretending to be foreign)

Save your love - Renee and Renata

Need help with the next one, what was that song containing some of these lyrics, though not specifically in the correct order:-

"I was so upset that I cried all the way to the chip shop.....if you wana two time me then its the end of you and me.....(someone or other).....is a moron......its not fair, yeah yeah....." please someone help me out because that has to be, apart from the above, one of the most lyrically challenged of songs of all time, though quite catchy tune.

Ok, Ok I'll admit it, I loved it

Gordon is a Moron - by Jilted John

Who now "does" John Shuttleworth

[Maximay]

Why thank you Sean.

[SeanMacGabhann]

no problem

at the time of the single I believe he had a stint in Coronation Street as well

And may I also thank you for now putting that song in my head!

[Jah Lush]

That's a brilliant song that. I loved Jilted John.

Like I said before I go through favorite songs like I do pints on a Friday but the best a song has ever made me feel was a few years back,

I had a few weeks to myself. I was driving one of these:

Through this:

The closest town was at least 2 hours away and this came on the radio:

Worst song? It would have to be:

And I, eeeeee yyyieeeeeehhhh

Will always love yooooooo woooooo hoooooo

By whoever the hell wrote the horrible thing.

[SeanMacGabhann]

you leave Dolly Parton alone!!!

Oh, you mean the other - the one who also sang "It's not right, in fact it's bleedin awful" or some such

[Jah Lush]

Dolly Parton wrote it Brendan but Oh god if I ever get subjected to that bloody Whitney Houston version again I may have to kill the person who put it on.

[*Bob*]

There's nothing wrong with Dolly. She has the voice of an angel. And really, really big tits.

[david_carnell]

Which reminds me of this nominee for worst song ever:

Sam Fox - Touch Me

[Brendan]

Oh so Dolly Parton wrote it. Fancy that. I am not as familiar with her music as I am her chest. Anyway I was referring to the Whitney Houston version which makes my blood run cold.

[*Bob*]

In my opinion, the higher a song aims, the lower it ought to fall if it's rubbish.

And with this in mind, I nominate 'Imagine' - whoever wrote that ought to be.. er... oh yeah.

[mightyroar]

anything by Oasis. especially anything involving him singing the word shine or

'shayine' as he will pronounce it in that god awful sneer of his.

this word appears in 85% of all their output I believe.

O and Angels by Robbie Williams

[Maximay]

What about that song,

".... though I must confess, Number one was dull and number two is best, I wanna stay with you, my lucky number two, (then that god awful screech) aah oh aah oh! Ai, ai, ai ai ai ai".

Sorry, title of song deludes me yet again, must be my age. Could be my number one by god knows who.

[SeanMacGabhann]

I agree 100% with *Bob* and mightyroar's last posts

Anything Beatles or Dylan related I find hard to like (guilty confession and I await the rotten tomatoes)

[SeanMacGabhann]

didn't recognize that one Maximay - but a quick google shows it to be Lene Lovoch - Lucky Number... which makes your judgement sound

[Maximay]

What did you google? part of the lyrics or was there a special search engine you used? that would be handy to know, especially when you have a tune stuck in your head and can't name it.

[Brendan]

If you google a line form a song you will normally get a few results that are lyrics sheets or music for that song. If it doesn?t work try putting quotations around the line.

[Jah Lush]

Lena Lovich - Lucky Number. I like that. Still got the album and I thoroughly recommend it.

[SeanMacGabhann]

and lyric as the first word before the quotations - so my query was

lyric "number one was dull and number two is best"

[Maximay]

Thanks Brendan, sorry to sound so thick

[Maximay]

And Sean

[Brendan]

No probs.
