    Sorry if this has already been covered but please can someone stop 2FM playing "We Love You Ronnie Drew". Would they be playing it if it was called "We Love you Nancy Drew"? No. Now STOP.

    Yeah, couldn't they have come up with something a bit less infantile than "Here's to you, Ronnie Drew, we love you, yes we do". Sounds like a song six-year-olds are taught at school.

    And it kinda rips off Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah...

    Ah it's not the worst song ever
    That's a bit harsh.
    And Ronnie Drew likes it.......or so he says.

    When I first heard the song, I thought Ronnie Drew had died! An awful, awful song and the writers should be taken out and shot

    Haven't heard it but surely it can't be as bad as 'Smile like you mean it' *gets my gun*.

    In a world where, due to some horrendous evolutionary mistake, The Manic Street Preachers :eek:are allowed to exist, it's very harsh to label "Here's to You Ronnie Drew" as the worst song ever.
    I actually quite like it!!!

    *waits for blunt objects to be thrown at self*

    Ah now, whatever about disliking Wire as a person, the Manics have made some seriously top tunes.

    I wholeheartedly disagree. Most overrated band ever imo. And since Wire is their main songwriter, it's another reason for me to hate him!
    Anyways, this has drifted slightly off-topic:pac:

    No such thing as bad publicity. You reminded me of them so I've gone around the office with my iPod and got everyone to listen to them. One girl is off to buy the whole back catalogue on her lunch. LOOK WHAT YOU"VE DONE!!!

    Is it not the Beverly Hills Cop/Axl F tune?

    Anyways the worst song ever has to be "living on a prayer" by bon jovi also with a new addition by "now your gone" by bass hunter, i seriously have never heard such noise formed by computers and idiots get so much air time its ridiculous. the lyrics are crap, the tune is tripe, they dont mix together well at all and they dont follow any sort of pattern and is really really disgusting.

    This thread isn't a name the worst song ever it's about the song "the ballad of Ronnie Drew" which the OP regards as the worst song ever... this has gone way off topic..but seeing as it has the song i hate the most is probably "Golden Brown" by the stranglers ..it's just the monotone singing voice that does it..and yes i know it's about heroin but that doesn make it good :)

    IMO, the worst song ever has to be "Ignition" by R. Kelly.
    :eek::eek::eek:
    It made me doubt the existence of God, and reassured me of the existence of Satan.

    The original version is horrible but the remix of Ignition is one of the best RnB songs this decade

    Now that's just wrong. I don't think I've ever heard of someone disliking "Golden Brown" before.
