Another Apology

Filed in National by on March 5, 2009

More important than the Steele-Limbaugh and Alex Rodriguez apology, Vanilla Ice finally apologizes for Ice, Ice Baby. Though I think he should apologize for not being able to wear his cap correctly. For more about bad songs, go to Right Music Wrongs. What artists should apologize next? And, what should they apologize for?

  3. Unstable Isotope says:

    I think that “How Bizzare” guy should apologize. Plus, the song I hate above all others is “She Drives Me Crazy” by the Fine Young Cannibals. *shudder*

  4. cassandra_m says:

    Apologies AND reparations are needed for this one.

  5. a. price says:

    no, he stole from Queen and David Bowie
    Under Pressure is one of the best musical ventures in the history of man. I appreciate the effort but i can never forgive him for that song

  6. cassandra_m says:

    I’ll raise you this mess, Pandora!

    Really he does need to apologize for this, and contribute his worldly wealth to the American Diabetes Association. When I went to You Tube to get the video, there are tons of home vids of people’s new babies with this treacly thing playing….yuck.

  7. pandora says:

    Ouch! But, never fear, I’ll raise the yuck factor with this…

    I LOVED that song. Screw y’all…

  9. karmicjay says:

    His apology is not good enough, unless he apologizes to Rush 😉

  10. Not Brian says:

    I don’t want apologies. I want tribunals.

    Musical crimes against humanity that should be prosecuted in the Hague:

    We Built This City – Starship
    Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue – Toby Keith
    Uptown Girl – Billy Joel
    The Final Countdown – Europe
    Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go – Wham!
    Sussudio – Phil Collins

    Please also consider the summary execution of the following artists for their body of work:

    Toby Kieth
    Whitney Houston
    Cher
    Creed
    Bobby McFerrin (or did he already take care of that?)
    Hanson
    Kenny G
    Poison
    Winger
    Evanescence
    Billy Ray Cyrus
    Yanni

    This is a good start…

  11. a. price says:

    aww Bobby McFerrin? i think 50 centS has done much more damage to music

  12. cassandra_m says:

    “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” was horrible. But McFerrin is a trained opera singer and does have a body of jazz work that is interesting.

    Otherwise, sign me up for the front row of Brian’s tribunal list.

  13. a. price says:

    awww c’mon it is such a happy song, and it’s all vocal…. there are some recordings of Yo-Yo Ma and Bobby …. VERY cool…… i dunno im a classical guy
    I will take on all you anvil throwers when it comes to music

  14. cassandra_m says:

    It stopped being happy the minute it started being overplayed. So McFerrin has to apologize.

  15. Not Brian says:

    It is entirely possible that the balance Bobby McFerrin’s entire musical catalog is stellar – however, the inclusion of that insipid piece of bubblegum trash merits him being on the list.

    I can understand defending the rest of his work. That song is soooooooooo terrible. I would rather hear my 11 month old wail for an hour than have to hear it again.

    I stand by the list.

    🙂

  16. Unstable Isotope says:

    OK, Cassandra and Padora, this is war. You want sickening sweet? You got it:

    Debbie Boone – You Light Up My Life

  17. a. price says:

    It isn’t McFerrin’s fault it was overplayed. i like some songs that the radio kills… i don’t blame the artists.. take him off the list it IS war im ready for a fight

  18. cassandra_m says:

    Mary MacGregor — Torn Between Two Lovers

    Treacly, insipid and probably the inspiration for the Hallmark Channel!

    ps. she couldn’t sing, either.

  19. angRy Smitty says:

    THIS deserves all sorts of apologies!

    Y’all just got RICKROLL’D! HA HA HA!

  20. pandora says:

    Ewww, Debbie Boone!

    Hey, wait a minute! I already nominated Torn Between Two Lovers! Does that mean I win? (comment#2)

  21. Joanne Christian says:

    WOW-You guys covered this nicely, but please add:

    Theme song from Love Story
    Ring My Bell
    Doctor’s Orders
    Apology still waiting from Barry Manilow of ever appearing IN FRONT OF a camera–and for that matter Neil Sedaka too. Hey, you guys were doing great across the radio…

  22. anon says:

    Let’s just go to the master list:

    Romancing The ’70s (a Time Life collection).

    Currently playing in late-nite infomercials.

  23. Joanne Christian says:

    THANK YOU anon-you brought the mother lode!

  24. Von Cracker says:

    Two glaring omissions:

    Paula Abdul and her inspiration, Stacy Q of “Two of Hearts” fame.

    I think I have the high-pitched, whiney, overly-sampled vocal atrocities covered.

    A1A Beachfront Avenue, baby!

  25. Von Cracker says:

    Best musical slam EVARRR?

    Of course it’s David Cross stating that he’d rather listen to his own child’s death rattle than anything by Evanescence!

    😆

  26. Unstable Isotope says:

    There’s so many treacly/bad (good?) songs out there it’s hard to choose a winner (loser?).
