Songs That Make You Cringe

[becker4567]

I no longer gig and haven't for a long time, but when I did, there were some songs that were crowd favorites (and radio hits) but were just plain awful, and made you feel silly to play/sing. Remember, I'm going back to the 70's, but lets face it, bad is bad regardless of the decade. My most cringe worthy? 'Take the Money and Run' by The Steve Miller Band. Ewwwwwwwww!

 

[Sam Evans]

"Two Princes" by whoeverthehelltheywere ...
Spin Doctors, that's it.

 

[FilterFunk]

"Two Of Hearts" - Stacey Q

Anything by Debbie Deb, but especially "Look Out Weekend"

These songs represent the worst of the '80s, IMO.

 

[stratovani]

Pretty much anything by Lady Gaga or any number of hip-hop artists make me cringe!

 

[Eminentbass]

Achy Breaky Heart. Just the thought of it makes me cringe.

 

[Achtane]

I don't know how many of you have had to endure this:



But it's bad. SO BAD.

Old Time Rock And Roll by Bob Seger, every time I hear that song I see Tom Cruise sliding across the floor in his underwear!!!

 

[Richland123]

Me And Bobby McGee

 

[Floridabwoy]

haha.... I LOVE roller rink music.

AcDc - You shook me all night long - no you didnt
Bon Jovi - Living on a prayer - no I'm not

 

[MooseKnuckle]

Pretty much anything(99%) on the radio, cause it's what's decided by corporate d-bags. And most of the people that listen to it are d-bags themselves.

Almost any southern rock makes me cringe, and no I don’t consider the Allman Brothers to be southern rock. And though I’ve never been asked to play any of it, I think I’d draw the line at any of the pseudo-uber-patriotic nonsense that comes from some of the new country artist.

 

[jimmyjames77]

Any song Billy Corgan sings...

 

[IPA]

Most pop music just makes me feel numb, not particularly bad in any way. Except for this Ke$a thing that was on SNL a few weeks ago... felt sick watching it.

 

[jpTron]

Pretty much every song played by your standard cover band. I'm going down the shore for this long weekend and I know that's all i'm going to hear... all weekend long. Ughhhhhhhh

Songs That Make You Cringe

Most songs performed by 'all originals' bands.

 

[RTL]

Anything that can be described as "Texas Country".

It seems that in this "genre", as long as your subject matter is familiar bars, landmarks and scenery, it doesn't matter if you can't sing, write, or play more than 3 chords. In fact, I'm starting to believe that being devoid of any talent whatsoever is essential in pulling this stuff off.

 

[bassteban]

I can play the most AWFUL stuff and smile- until the tempo bogs down, then I want to stab someone.

 

[azureblue]

my
world

 

[BassMaster4s]

Wonderwall, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Possum Kingdom. I will never play these three songs again, ever. Period.

 

[The Bassmonkey]

Most songs performed by 'all originals' bands.

Hey, all bands were original once!
