How Bloody Awful is This?

torrential1's picture

I reckon it's time for 'Ole Starkey to pack it in, not only is this barely listenable, but it's fairly creepy too.

The bell on the Turdometer has been well and truly rung...

perhaps with more force than anyone has ever managed before.

That is ghastly. The fact that it features the execrable Joss Stone does not bode well, but then Mr Starr joins in with a performance that sounds as if it was phoned in from his sun lounger in Monte Carlo. Oh, and the song is bloody terrible.

One feels..

..on this particular waxing that the ex-Fabs sticksman is not making the maximum effort we have come to expect from him.
One longs for the youthful halcyon energy-filled days of "Lah De Dah" or even "Liverpool 8"

Forgive me...

...but I won't be listening to this. I'd hate to appear narrow- or closed-minded, but Starr and Stone? In my house? Fuck that.

What if it was...

Freddie Starr and Sharon Stone?

I just about made it through

two minutes. Truly, truly horrible. Easily contender for all-time worst HJH-related material (and Ringo has, sadly, never failed to chip into that little contest).

I've got it stuck in my head now, Stone's screech and Ringo's half-assed, drunk-uncle-at-wedding harrumphing, which I agree, would indeed be disturbingly creepy, if he at least sounded like he had a clue what he was singing.

I think it's great!

Only joking - I might be stupid, but I'm not deaf

Absolutely shocking..

Really really bad.

Does Joss really sing "you give me chicken wings/ but baby I want diamond rings"? (around 1:30 to save you listening to it all)

Peace, love, creepy.

I mean, REALLY....

... who thought it was ok for this to be called "Who's Your Daddy?"? that is as shocking a decision as you'll ever see.

Confession

Hopefully not many people will see this, but I feel the need to get it off my chest: I really fancy Joss Stone.

I feel better now. Thanks!

It's her singing

That does it for me

It's Brilliant

in a Hylda Baker/Arthur Mullard kind of way

i refuse to listen to him so i won't be clicking that link

but is it worse than this

OMG

No, I take back what I said earlier. This is infinitely worse. This is the music they play in elevators in Hell. At least 'Whos Your Daddy' features a singer of some repute who knows her way around a tune, taking up most of the space. But this... even the excuse that the perpetrator was sadly, chronically in his cups at the time, barely stands.

i hate to do this but

I was introduced to the awfulness of this album by Danny Baker's Radio 1 show. He reckoned this to be one of the worst tracks of all time by anyone. He wasn't kidding. This is truly bloody dreadful.

"Watch me now rizz off!"

"Drumming makes me rock n' roll... yeah."

Priceless.

You're right... it's a foetid heap of musical manure.

Oh dear

Can I just say that this song has been in my head for 24 hours. That's not good. I've also found out that it was written by Nilsson as was Stop and Smell The Roses above.

They just seem like Peter Serafinowicz versions.

Written by Nilsson...

after a session with the Brandy Alexanders methinks.

Who's Your Grandad?

Was that a real record?
Sounds like a demo. Kept thinking a middle eight will appear in a sec, then it just sort of collapsed.

Wait!

Any excuse to post the worst video of all time!

If the rumours about Joss Stone are true...

I'm gonna be sick.

Oh gawd...

is she making a triple album with Joanna Newsom?

Patrick Crowther | 9 February 2010 - 8:46am

Sorry Ringo

But if I only have one bullet left, it's definitely got Joss Stone's name on it - that was epic in its badness.
