"The Superbowl Shuffle"



It was totally worth repeating.

Wasn't that the rap song that the Chicago Bears did that one year?

We are the Bears shuffling crew
Shufflin on down
Doin it for you

Or something like that.

Fucking dog grooming salon, don't you mean?!

Break Out was a a pretty good song, but it had one of the worst Mid 8s ever written.

Dewrede said:

Christ, that is pretty awful! Have you ever seen the video? It's up there with Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Talent. Bound to be on YouTube somewhere - it's just ghastly.

peterfalconer said:

Not to sound silly, but what is a Mid 8?

psychodelicide said:

It's the bit just before the final chorus that doesn't sound anything like the rest of the song. It's normally 8 bars long, hence the name, but some people call it the Bridge. "Rain sounds so cool when it hits the barn roof..." in Raspberry Beret is the Mid 8/Bridge.

The middle 8, a.k.a. the bridge

I couldn't stand "Shout" by Tears for Fears. Everytime I heard it on the radio I changed it really fast.

And this is the song that made them really popular!!

The most annoying songs to me were the songs that were over-played, i.e Like a Virgin, Hello, Billie-Jean, shout, Mickey and the list goes on...alot them were not bad songs, but if something is over-done it becomes ignoring even if it's good.

thats the one song of theirs i cant listen to.

4everYoung said:

Awful. Took themselves so seriously it hurt.

psychodelicide said:

I have never heard the similarities between Sussudio and 1999...

Is it just me that doesn't hear it?!

Not necessarily annoying, but "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye" by Soft Cell is, for me, the single worst record ever recorded. Even worse than Def Leppard's "Let's Get Rocked".

Marc Almond just needs a bloody good slap.

It was a huge hit all over the world. I remember hearing it on the American charts . I recently saw a music documentation that mentioned that the members of Opus still all live on the money they earned with that one song.

Thanks, I learned something new today.

Flowerz said:

You got the lyrics correct. The song that you're thinking of is "Too Shy" by Kajagoogoo.

psychodelicide said:

im still confused...so is it the part that starts: "lay down the law, shout out for more"?

sosgemini said:

Yeah, it's this bit:

"Some people stop at nothing
If you’re searching for something
Lay down the law
Shout out for more
Breakout and shout day in day out
Breakout"

While the '80s produced its fair share of annoying songs, I'd say that the '90s and '00s have given us far more, especially with all the sh*t-hop (to quote Vain Andy ), guitar 'indie' stuff and boy/ girl band pop.

Actually, I can't think of any '80s song as annoying as some of the later stuff, so let normal service be resumed.

Oh there's no doubt about it that the 90s, while turning out the occasional gem, was the most bleak period in pop music for the last hundred years. Quite ghastly.

But I digress! I can think of a few really dreadful 80s songs, but something specifically annoying... Ride On Time by Black Box. It's just horrible. I actually think of this as a 90s song, but it seems it was released in '89.

Yesterday I heard a blast from the past.

Anyone remember

I'm on a Mexican Radio...oh oh...

Really dumb song

heartbeatocean said:

I do, that was by that group called "Wall of Voodoo". Odd name for a band.

psychodelicide said:

Oh yeah!
