Ya hit the nail right on the head there buddy, Hate it, its on every pub jukebox in Australia, and every band seems to cover it, Boring.

Its like having needles inserted into each earhole and it is a disgrace to the memory of the wicked Pickett

I have a confession to make.

I bought Bec Cartwright's album.

Although it was for a joke and it only cost me $2 (serious), nevertheless...

I bought Bec Cartwright's album.

Apparently, Melissa Tkautz is making a 'comeback.'

Bruce Samazan to follow?

Its" McCarther Park" and it was written by Hal David who together with Bert Bacharach is responsible for the most profound and beautiful pop songs ever written

Originally song by Richard Harris or Dumbledore for all you youngens out there

McCarthur Park was written by Jimmy Webb not Hal David!

Hard to believe the man responsible for the classics "Witchita Linesman" and "By the time i get to Phoenix" could write such garbage as McCarthur Park.

Macarthur Park gets a pretty bum rap here IMO.
It's actually a very cleverly worded song written about the death of the writer's wife, in which he attempts to get across the point that although he may have other partners none will ever replace her.
As far as the worst song of all time goes -

Imagine, Happy Christmas ( War Is Over ), Instand Karma - John Lennon
My Sweet Lord - George Harrison
Everybody Hurts - REM
anything by the Beatles.

Yeh Slacker has already explained to me I had been believing a load of complete bullocks about who wrote McCarthur Park - yeh can't believe Jimmy wrote it - my favourite version of By the Time I get to Phoenix is the Isaac Hayes version it goes for about 25 minutes!

Any piece of dreck floating under the moniker of "nu-metal". Any genre with an umlaut cannot be trusted.

Either that or Mandy Moore's utter desecration of XTC's "Senses Working Overtime", a piece of ghoulish teenage non-comprehension up there with Westlife's cover of "Father and Son".
Most covers are poor. I heard a version of Bohemian Rhapsody that was so poor I nearly threw my radio through the window.

For mine a lot of songs that dont make the charts are poor for a reason so I dont care about them. Its the songs that make the charts that can be classed as poor. eg Da da da you dont love me I dont love you uh huh-Trio

Made number 2 on the UK and I think Aus charts(maybe number 1 even)

Sorry

Aha, aha, aha
aha
aha
aha

what's up with you, my precious, aha
things always only go downhill, aha
only what you understand, works, aha

This is what you got to know:
Let you go, it didn't show

I love you not, you love me not (x4)

Da da da (x4)

Da da da - I love you not,
ou love me not(x4)

Da da da - da da da
Da da da - da da da

(I love you not,
you love me not) - Aha (x 4)

So, you think it is too late, aha
and you say, that nothing else goes, aha
and the sun travels fast, aha

After all is said and done,
it was right for you to run!

I love you not, you love me not- Aha
I love you not, you love me not- Aha
I love me not, you love me not- Aha
I love you not, you love you not- Aha

Da da da (x4)

Da da da - I love you not,
you love me not (x4)

Da da da - da da da
Da da da - da da da

25 minutes???
Glen Campbell's version is easily the best version.

There was a great version of Witchita Lineman by a Melbourne band called King Harvest in the early 70's. The lead singer was Leo De Castro (a NZ Moari, what a voice!), the song also sequed into By the time i get to Phoenix. De Castro went on to form a pretty big band called Friends. Can anyone else recall this version?
