Musical Hall Of Shame

Barry Manilow adding words to the theme of American Bandstand and calling it the...

Bandstand Boogie

We're goin' hoppin' (Hop)
we're goin' hoppin' today
where things are poppin' (Pop)
the Philadelphia way
we're gonna drop in (Drop)
on all the music they play
on the Bandstand (Bandstand)

We're goin' swingin' (Swing)
we're gonna swingin' the crowd
and we'll be clingin' (Cling)
and floatin' high as a cloud
The phones are ringin' (Ring)
My mom and dad are so proud
I'm on Bandstand (Bandstand)
And I'll jump, and hey, I may even show 'em my handstand
because I'm on, because I'm on the American Bandstand
when we dance real slow I'll show all the guys in the grandstand
what a swinger I am, I am on American Bandstand

we're goin' hoppin
we're goin' hoppin today
where things are poppin
the Philadelphia way
we're gonna drop in
on all the music they play
on the Bandstand (Bandstand)

Bandstand
Bandstand
Bandstand
Bandstand The Bandstand The Bandstand
(What d'ya know--Here on the show--ready to go--what a pro)

Hey I'm makin' my mark
Gee, this joint is jumpin'
they made such a fuss just to see us arrive
Hey, it's Mr. Dick Clark
what a place you've got here
swell spot the music's hot here
best in the east, give it at least a seventy five!

Now for all you Joe's here goes my American handstand
Because I'm on, because I'm on the American Bandstand
As we dance real slow I'm showin' the guys in the grandstand
that I like my girl, but I love American Bnadstand

The singers' croonin'
he ain't the greatest but gee
my baby's swoonin'
in front of all of TV
so if you tune in
you'll see my baby and me
on the Bandstand (Bandstand)

and now we're hoppin
and we'll be hopppin all day
when things are poppin
the philadelphia way
and you can drop in
on all the music they play
on the Bandstand
Bandstand

And we'll rock and roll and stroll on American
Lindy hop and slop, it's American
tune in, I'm on,
turn on, I'm in, I'm on
Today (Bandstand)

...has got to be one of the lowest moments in music history. If you've never heard it, be very thankful! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Can anybody top this as the worst!

Atomic Kitten's cover of Tide Is High (written by John Holt, original recording by his band The Paragons in 1965, admirably covered by Blondie more recently).

We live in a country were John Lennon is murdered and yet Barry Manilow still puts out &%$&ing records!

Anyone remember the techno remixes of few Bob Marley song that were played a lot few years back (around 1999 to 2000), well be glad you don't... that was musical holocaust.

Michael Bolton is playing in my town in a week or two. And I live about 10 blocks from the Community Arts Center. I'm worried I'll be able to hear some of it. (I'm not sure Bolton is human, so I used the gender neutral pronoun)

Oh yes, that's another one - Michael Bolton's shithole cover of Percy Sledge's 'When A Man Loves A Woman'. He should be shot for that. Liked Darryl Banks' version.

Nothing annoys me more than when people do shit covers of great songs.

Here's one that's even worse - howbout somebody who covers THEIR OWN BLEEDIN' SONG???

Sammy Hagar redoing "I can't drive 55" to "I can't drive 65" - it has totally hashed the original, forsaking all the reasons it was a great song.

Anybody got anything worse than that?

Oh no, please tell me it isn't true! I love Otis Redding. I thankfully missed hearing it being murdered by mulletboy. He wouldn't know soul if it jumped up and bit him. [img]graemlins/madhell.gif[/img]
