Most annoying song, period.


Sorry if I'm replicating a thread.    I've been wanting to say this for years:  Rick Astley - Never gonna give you up.  What's yours?

I've been avoiding this thread because I knew it would be painful; but, thankfully, the humorous comments have more than made up for it.

After scouring the recesses of my memory, I came up with a song called:
"Gimme Dat Ding." I can't remember who did it (I refuse to call them an "artist"), nor do I want to know. I think that it came out in the late 60's or early 70's (probably 68 - 72).
@shtinkydog, are you familiar with the Nick Lowe song "All Men Are Liars?"

If not, I think you'll appreciate the following lyrics:

Well, do you remember Rick Astley?
He had a great fat hit, it was ghastly.
He said I'm never gonna give you up or let you down,
Well, I'm here to tell you that dick's a clown!
@mwinkc, something tells me that you can appreciate how painful it was for me to dredge that song out of my memory bank. A friend told me that he remembers Wal - Mart using that song in a TV commercial; but, I have no memory of that. So, both of our memory suppression systems must be working pretty good. Sorry if the memory of that song was painful for you too.
@richopp, why would I want my audio system to explode? I realize that all of us who've contributed to this thread are gluttons for punishment for having to be reminded of these god awful songs; but, blowing up my audio system is a bridge too far.
@richopp, no apology necessary as I was just teasing; however, thanks for the laugh. God knows this thread has provided plenty of those, which is always needed.

It's funny that you should mention "smashing the recording." One of my fondest musical memories was smashing a disco album to pieces and then reassembling the broken pieces on the wall as part of a record store promotion. I felt like a kid at Christmas as I sat in the floor of the record store and smashed that album. I even drew a small crowd that cheered me on. It obviously didn't rival the disco demolition at the White Sox vs Tigers game in Comiskey Park; but, it was still very fun and emotionally satisfying.
