Another Apology

27 Comments

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?

    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*

    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

    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.

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

    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…

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

    “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.

    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

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

    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.

    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

    Ewww, Debbie Boone!

    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…

    Let’s just go to the master list:

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

    Currently playing in late-nite infomercials.

    THANK YOU anon-you brought the mother lode!

    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!

    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!

    😆

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