    I think our criteria for voting may be vastly different. Don't Forget Your Shovel is a funny song, it's also a good song. I want to vote for good songs that also happen to be fun or cringey, because I don't want to see absolute sh**e dominate this competition. :rolleyes:


    It's in the title. "Records that gave you a cringe".


    That duck song is so cringe worthy its a contender for winning this competition.


    on the other hand, Christy is mildly funny and not cringe worthy at all.

    I would have gone for who’s in the house if I was here earlier

    You can go for it now to finish the score :)

    Who's in the House goes through to the 64 song vote 6:1 and the Muppets well lets just say they ain't in the competition no more

    "or a chuckle!" is the other half of the title.

    I asked that question earlier and I'd be inclined to go your way. Finding the funniest (or most cringe) song that charted rather than the least funniest funny song.

    Keep calm lads when we get to the 64 record run off we will be voting to find the funniest and the cringiest records in that 64, for now just vote on which you'd like to be in that 64

    Yep, me too.

    Nope only one of them would you think is most cringy or most funny, depends on if you want to vote through a cringe record to contend for the bottom place of the 64 or a funny to try for the top, believe me we have some cringe v cringe coming up it's just the way the seeding worked out and I need to get them down to 64

    M6 - Eat It
    M7 - Saw Doctors


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 51,513 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie anyways over that other song I don't know

    Ballad of Chasey Lane for certain as Daphne and Celeste make me want to burn my ears off

    Surfin Bird cos I nominated it

    Eat It because I just listened to the start of the first one and that's enough for me

    Saw Doctors because death to Jedward


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Match 3: Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini - great fun to sing along to.

    Match 4: The Ballad of Chasey Lain - both classics in their own right, but a hit song about a pornstar is worthier of a spot. Now show us them t*tties!

    Match 5: A Hard Day's Night - I think a spoken word cover is something a bit different, so why not.

    Match 6: Moonlight Shadow - I love this song, never thought of it as funny, but can see why someone might find it cringey, but I'm voting for the songs I like better, so this is the one I want to see in the competition proper.

    Match 7: I Useta Lover - Was one of my favourite songs when it first came out and even better craic when it was re-released. Choon!


  • Registered Users, Subscribers Posts: 47,311 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Match 2 - Disco Duck. I don't care how crap it is, I fcuking hate Christy Moore.

    Match 3 - Itsy Bitsy... That squeaky voice on the other song is so annoying.

    Match 4 - No opinion

    Match 5 - Surfin' Bird. Because everybody's heard about the bird.

    Match 6 - Eat It. One of the better parodies.

    Match 7 - No opinion


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Itsy Bitsy
    Moonlight Shadow - how is this cringey??
    Useta Love Her

    Don't know the others.

    #2 Disco Duck. I've never heard it before but it's magnificently terrible!

    #3 Itsy Bitsie.... Since I Left You is a good tune but it doesn't really scream "chuckle" to me (and it's definitely not cringe)

    #4 Ballad of Chasey Lain. Awful song but less irritating than Daphne & Celeste.

    #5 Surfin' Bird, fits the brief pretty well. Like the concept behind the Peter Sellers one but think it could have worked better with a "sillier" song.

    #6 Eat It. Don't mind Weird Al in small doses, though he has better ones than this I think. Moonlight Shadow does nothing for me either way.

    #7 I Useta Love Her Because it's not Jedward

    X - it’s bitsy cause even if you don’t want too you sing along

    X - daphne and Celeste, it made me smile hearing it again

    X - moonlight shadow , cause of ‘4am in the morning’ makes my heckles rise every single time!

    Match 4 Ooh Stick You
    "ya mama too, and your daddy"
    I was at Reading when they played the main stage, now that was funny!

    Match 5 The Surfin Bird
    Ah, it burrows into my brain, I hate it! But I think that's the point

    Match 6 Eat It
    Moonlight Shadow isn't funny or cringe, what am I missing?!

    Match 7 I Useta Lover
    Neither are funny but at least this one isn't outright shıt
