Yaay.

Rikand

The Final!!!!!

Nominations now require 10 votes to win!

No need for a reason, though people are always welcome to give theirs. People have been giving their reasons all the way through which is brilliant and why I'm still not enforcing it!


This is the final and a winner will be called by at the absolute latest of 8pm tomorrow evening. That gives us a full 24 hours to hit the mark, which i'm quite sure we will do

Please be very upstanding for our 2 finalists as they duke it out to be crowned the WORST song of all time!




Reminder :: You are voting for the WORST song in this match



Final Match

BrokeNCYDE - Freaxxx

Vs

Axel F - Crazy Frog

There was only one good thing about Crazy Frog. You could tell someone was a complete idiot if they used it as their ringtone, and then avoid them like the plague.

BrokeNCYDE - Freaxxx Vs Axel F - Crazy Frog



Take your time with this one folks. Listen to each song intently. The power is in your hands!

Necro

BrokeNCYDE - Freaxxx Vs Axel F - Crazy Frog - The Frog must win now it put out Richie Kavanagh.

quickbeam

Never heard of Freaxxx before so gave it a listen and managed 35 seconds. I'm still going for Crazy Frog though because, it's f^cking Crazy Frog and is the worst recorded output ever and anyone who bought it should hang their heads in shame.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

In a shocking twist, I listened to both songs there again and Freaxxx has kind of grown on me...

Look I think there's far worse songs that were eliminated earlier in the competition (including both that got knocked out in the Semis), but between these two for worst song of all-time is...

Crazy Frog - Axel F

the purple tin

I vote Crazy Frog. I've never heard that BrokeNsyde until this competition and it is aural excrement, however I was subjected to Crazy frog's ear-acid warbling for years -ringtones on the phones of morons, blasting out of the windows of boy-racer's pratmobiles etc. and I want retribution dammit :mad:



By tomorrow morning I want that ****ing Frog sleeping with the fishes!

Tell me how

This really isn't a competition in this round for me.

Crazy Frog, the hateful little b*stard for the win. No hesitation.

And a worthy winner to be fair.

BrokeNCYDE - Freaxxx Vs Axel F - Crazy Frog

It's amazing how one sound effect can destroy an otherwise decent (if dated) soundtrack. I imagine if you wanted to drive someone crazy in solitary confinement this would be a good way to do so.

According to Wikipedia it reached No. 1 in 14 different countries. All those people who put it there need to take a long hard look at themselves.

Particularly the French record buying public who put it at No. 1 for 13 weeks :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: It is the third best selling single in France in the 21st century.

It is definitely worthy of the title of worst song of all time.

Rikand

Just decided to read the Wikipedia page for BrokeNCYDE

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brokencyde

The terms used to describe the band and this song in particular in the Critical Reception section are exquisite!





And in the interest of fairness, this is the wiki for crazy frog, but it doesn't have the same witty critical reception

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crazy_Frog

This is strange, I think the freak song is the worst of the 2 but I never heard of it until an hour ago and Im confident I will never hear it again. The frog song on the other hand, got so much airplay and was a smash hit, given that reason I believe it deserves to win this contest.

My vote, Crazy frog.

Sultan of Bling

Before i vote is there a 12 inch version of these songs just to put myself through further torture.

If the winning act have a twitter account we should tweet our congratulations to their account with a link to the thread.

It wont mean anything to Crazy Frog if you do it, but it would mean the world to BrokeNCYDE I would say

Axel F - Crazy Frog

It's not only irritating but it's one of the very few pieces of "music" that is capable of sending me into a rage.

Crazy frog, every time Ive had the misfortune of hearing it over the years is more than enough reason to vote it . And every time I've heard a retard use it as a ring tone is another reason to vote for. As for that other shiiit song Ive never heard it before and never will hopefully.

Crazy Frog - Axel F!!!

Thank you to everyone who took part in this very fine of competition, from the people who nominated entries to everyone who lodged a vote. You made the pain of having to listen to all that muck bearable


Cheers all and enjoy what's left of your weekend. Hopefully you wont be subjected to anymore aural unpleasantries than you have already had to endure!

Well deservered winner, without doubt.

Thanks Rikand.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Great comp Rikand. Thanks for running it!

Don't do it. I listened to 20 seconds of each and I'm traumatised.

While Brokencyde are undoubtedly horrifically bad, they probably think they're actual musicians as they've produced something original. Now admittedly, in an existence of infinite parallel universes the chances of anyone producing something that comes close to being as bad as that is infinitesimally small, but on this very minor point their output possibly has some merit.

Crazy Frog, on the other hand, have taken someone else's work and bastardised it to such an extent that Harold Faltermeyer has probably disowned the original at this stage in case anyone thinks he had a hand in the Crazy Frog version. What's worse, millions of people paid for this sh*t! This song is proof of the rapid decline of civilisation and has led to the current lockdown. Coronavirus is merely a cover story concocted by governments throughout the world to keep people away from recording studios in an effort to ensure that nothing like this is ever unleashed on an unsuspecting public again. So you know what you need to do - stay at home and vote for Crazy Frog. It's the only way to save humanity from ourselves.

the purple tin

A very worthy winner/loser.

Well done Rikand, it was worth the PTSD :pac:

Macdarack

Jesus christ I've listened to that Friday song, what have I done, Friday Friday Friday..........
That fast food song, who the fuuuck (mc gregors sister style) came out with that, and who backed it, who the fuuuck allowed it ! They're fuuuck in adults.
Dj casper is a poet laureate compared to most here BTW.

quickbeam

Didn't know it was a cover version actually. Learn something new every day.

Zaph

Rikand, that was an epic and really fun contest, thanks for running it. While there's some awful muck out there, I think we found a worthy "winner", although I would have liked to see Richie Kavanagh in the final to give it a bit more of a run for its money.

My vote, Crazy frog.

I fcuking legitimately heard Axel F only an hour ago. Maybe it's recency bias or I'm losing my mind but a real wtf moment. Anyway, Crazy Frog managed to hit the number one spot in some countries. That is not ok. I would have voted for it.

Rothko

Lol that didn't take long but the winner completely deserves it.

Omackeral

Crazy Frog is rightly getting hate but I had a good laugh at this.

British comic book writer Warren Ellis considered Brokencyde's "FreaXXX" music video "a near-perfect snapshot of everything that’s **** about this point in the culture". A writer for the Warsaw Business Journal attempted to describe their music: "Imagine an impassioned triceratops mating with a steam turbine, while off to the side Daft Punk and the Bee Gees beat each other to death with skillets and spatulas. Imagine the sound that would make. Just try. BrokeNCYDE is kind of like that, except it also makes you want to jab your thumbs into your eyeballs and gargle acid."

TBH, i never thought Crazy Frog would go anywhere in this competition. Its a very annoying song, but is it the WORST song. To me its not. Though that's not to say its not a worthy winner. The WORST is very subjective and what is the worst to one person, is not necessarily the worst to anyone else. Reberetta's idea of the worst is a song so bad, its actually good. I'd disagree with that one too lol

When I saw the original lineup of songs I thought the semi finals (assuming the draw worked in their favour) would be ::

BrokeNCYDE - Freaxxx (which for me was the worst song in this whole comp)
Sydney McGee - Lit Right Now
Willow Smith - Whip my hair
Alison Gold - Chinese Food or Jenna Rose - My Jeans ( i forget which one)

They are the songs that I thought were the worst in the lineup

But thats the great thing about subjectivity and I think we can all agree, the vast majority of the songs were the worst in some sort of a fashion!

It's not uncommon for the human brain to completely block out events which cause extreme trauma and mental anguish. It's a self-defense mechanism.

Truthvader

MMmmm.

Listened to Crazy Frog now. Certainly an annoying piece of rubbish but in my view to be truly the worst song the song must at least take itself seriously. The writer and performer must believe that they are producing something of value.

Whoever produced Crazy Frog obviously knew they were producing and annoying sound. I expect they will be delighted with this win

I think the ring-ding-ding-baw sound effect was made by a guy who used to do it as a party piece, impersonating a Honda 50. Some other twat heard, it nicked it and created the Crazy Frog animation to put on his website so he is really the one to blame.

Now, although I agree that Whip My Hair isn't a good song, I could never vote against it because it was the setting for an epic lip-sync in season 5 of RuPaul's Drag Race!!

Rikand

Songs which received multiple nominations and the number of nominations is beside it.

James Blunt fell at the very first hurdle

James Blunt You’re Beautiful 4
Rebecca Black Friday 4
Fast Food Rockers Fast Food Song 3
Justin Bieber Baby 3
3 of a kind Babycakes 2
Cheeky Girls The Cheeky Song 2
Jan Terri Losing you 2
Mark McCabe Maniac 2000 2
Mr. Blobby Mr. Blobby 2
Nicki Minaj Anaconda 2
Nizlopi JCB Song 2
Vanilla No Way. No Way 2

Glad to know I wasn't the only one to nominate Maniac 2000; god damn, that fúcking song and the inexplicable love some people have for it. :mad:

Anyway thanks Rikand for running, clearly lots of hard work put into this and it is much appreciated.

Ficheall

Ah now. What are ye at? Crazy Frog wasn't good by any stretch of the imagination, but the worst of all time? It's less irritating to listen to than, for example, Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" or Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart"...

Niska

Great comp Rikand - thanks.

Most annoying song of all time? Possibly. A truly (un)worthy winner.

Thanks rikand for the laugh, I'm a bit sorry I didn't give it my full attention, I was hoping to get Hey baby a bit further.
Big effort by you, well done.
Maybe run this **** fest in 30years time again?
