Going through the Music section of So Bad, It's Good introduced me to the bizarrely catchy "Hot In The Airport"
- there's something about the bass line that makes me want to hear it covered In the Style of early Public Image Ltd.
Another thing I just discovered the same way is OINK OINK SUEY YIPPEE YO KAY AY, PIG POWER IN DA HOUSE!

Last night, my friend introduced me to this amazing gem, from the same person who sung the equally amazing "Swagger Jagger":
Oppan Gangnam Style surprisingly, as I usually don't really enjoy that type of music.
And Ruber's Song from Quest for Camelot. It's terrible, but entertaining as hell IMO.
Deep into that darkness, peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Anal Cunt, a band that attempted to make the worst music ever and perhaps succeeded. They usually played grindcore with racist, homophobic, misogynistic, etc. lyrics, but I think they're at their funniest when they're just screwing around. For example, here is their entire Howard is Bald EP (which was never officially released because even they thought it was too bad) where every song is about their friend's lack of hair.

I've heard that before. I like it because it has that "kids messing around with a tape recorder" vibe, but the "kids" are (probably drunk) grown men. I also was surprised at a Shudder To Think reference in the Wesley Willis-parodying section - This will give you an idea of what they mean by "he looks like that guy from Shudder Tuh Think"
.
Something I enjoy of theirs that's in a similar vein is their side of a Black Sabbath tribute split 7" with Eyehategod - they do a serious cover of "Killing Yourself To Live", followed by a decidedly sillier medley of sorts
.

While I'm still thinking of Anal Cunt, their acoustic album, Picnic of Love, was a comedy goldmine if only because of how over-the-top it is.
The song itself isn't bad, but "Punk Rock Girl" by the Dead Milkmen
has the most intentionally bad and out of key guitar solo I have ever heard and I can't help but smile every time I hear it.
And who could forget the legendary "Hoogie Boogie Land?"

To be fair about "Punk Rock Girl", if anyone takes that song seriously, they've got problems.
And (listening to it again), that solo sounds like the kind of solos I play... :(
Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.I was introduced to this song from one of Mark Prindle's video reviews
:
Sort of makes me think of what I've heard of Jandek, although the difference is that Jandek meant for his songs to sound like that. I don't think I could sit through the whole album, but this particular song ends up being weirdly hypnotic and even catchy because of how incredibly repetitive it is. "No heavy truckin', do it on your own time / no heavy truckin', no heavy porcupine".
Oh, and for some reason I just remembered Gary Young's "Plant Man". The defining moment is when Gary announces the "guitar solo" by muttering "shirts":
That's apparently Thurston Moore making a cameo as a dancing tree. Which is a little less bizarre than it seems because this is the same Gary Young who got kicked out of Pavement for being The Alcoholic. I used to have the album this is from, Hospital. It's... weird. This
is the only other song that seems to be out there on youtube, and I remember it being one of the only tracks that sounded like an actual finished song.

Ninjasonik's Somebody Gonna Get Pregnant.
I can't believe nobody referenced this song while making fun of Twilight Breaking Dawn.
Hell Hasn't Earned My TearsThis was a Quincy, MA teen garage band's myspace demo that apparently got spread around Boston music discussion boards a few years ago due to being so comically inept, yet almost catchy. I think it later came out that the lyrics were a joke, but the music was still presumably an earnest attempt to sound good.
The singer sounds like a drunk, tone-deaf Roger Daltrey. Why would they put the vocals so far in the front of the mix when a) they're so bad, and b) it's punk, the guitar is more important! The drumming...what the hell, I've never drummed in my life and I could do better than that.
From the video's description:
There are probably a million bands out there called Illusion, huh? I have only a vague memory of how I discovered these guys, but anyway... this very obscure album contains a few decent songs, but most fall into this category, IMHO.
I'll include "The Lake"
so everyone can laugh at the Cliché Storm and sheer volume of Narm.
On the other hand, if you want Camp and Narm Charm, check out "Honor Among Thieves."

How dare you disrupt the sanctity of my soliloquy?So, there's a really obscure band called Leila and the Snakes* had a song called "Natasha" about how, as the song puts it, men aren't the only ones who brag about their sexual prowess, why, I know this one woman who loves to talk about how great she is at giving head! It's sung in such an over-the-top, theatrical way that you can't take it seriously at all (though, to be fair, I'm not sure it was meant that way). It is also the very pinnacle of both punk rock and feminism.
Anyway, that song I can't find streaming online, so I'll give you their most awesome song instead:
Side note: I completely unironically love this song.

Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.Here's an amazing one. Anyone remember the extremely mediocre mid-to-late-2000s show Krypto the Superdog, very loosely based on Superman's dog Krypto (and the similarities pretty much end there)? Well, whether you do or not, check out its theme song. These lyrics are pure poetry.

Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.Wait, did he seriously sample the Requiem For A Dream score for this crap song?
The sad thing is, some of his rhymes ain't too bad, but he's so inept at delivering them and the song is mastered so horribly that they just don't work.
Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.Yeah, I can believe that.
Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.I was just reminded of this
- you really can't make fun of these songs too much, as they're original songs written and performed by middle schoolers for a music class, but they're generally pretty cacophonic and silly. My favorites are the Word Salad Lyrics of "Spin Jo Mama"
and "Simpsons"
, where the kids somehow got away with the line "Smithers is really queer".
Y'know, I'm surprised no one's mentioned "Thrift Shop"
yet. It sounds like something "Weird Al" Yankovic would make if he swore (not that that's a bad thing).

Any song with Double Entendre-laden lyrics falls into this for me.
