Disgruntled of Belfast

[altariel]

Via the BBC website, we learn that Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da has been voted the worst song ever in an online poll.

Allister of Belfast notes: "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da isn't even the worst Beatles song. It isn't even the worst song on the White album."

Dan of Essex points out: "I saw an album by William Shatner in a record shop yesterday and track one was a cover of Common People by Pulp. Until Jim Davidson covers Ghost Town, this has to go down as the greatest travesty in the history of pop music."

But don't you somehow want to hear it?

I've heard Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da. I've heard Shatner's version of common people. If forced to choose one to hear again, I'd rather listen to Shatner.

Obviously, the folks that voted in that poll had somehow been lucky enough to never hear Yoko Ono. :)

I like Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da

[communicator.livejournal.com]

I adore Shatner's version of Common People. I think Ob-La-Di is ace. God, there are so many bad songs about, why choose two with their tongues in their cheeks. What about Celine frickin' Dion. My heart will drone on.

*snort!*

How about if Shatner covered Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da?

I certainly think it's better than Gazza's Fog on the Tyne.

Or Achey Breaky Heart. Or Everything I Do, I Do For You.

[iainjcoleman.livejournal.com]

That would be the best song ever.

I think you should email and beg for it.

I think you win with Frog on the Tyne

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Was that where the Frog was all along? Bloody thieving Gazza.

I want it, too! I think hearing Shatner sing it would usher in a new age for all of humankind, don't you?

[mistraltoes.livejournal.com]

Eh, no. The worst song ever is Never Been to Me by Charlene. If you've never heard it, get down on your knees and thank everybody.

It's fabulous. And the equally fabulous communicator had a link to it at one point:

Achey Breaky Heart

Oh, why did you have to mention that song? I am obliged to kill anyone who mentions that song. I am so very very sorry. Please hold still.

[glitterboy1.livejournal.com]

Oh, sorry, you were talking about the Jim Davidson. Oh well, I'll leave the link to the Shatner there. It deserves to be heard.

Don't stab my guts! My oozy schmoozy guts!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Hell, I think I've got it stuck in my head now.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

What kind of age?

[communicator.livejournal.com]

Ah, William Shatner, so strangely talent free and yet so loveable

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

That would be telling. :)
