Jaimoe Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 There's many candidates. Songs by Fergie like "Clumbsy", Britney Spears' latest "Piece of Me" and some obnoxiously catchy crap from Gwen Stefani like "Now That You Got It" or "Holla Back Girl". However the winner (or loser depending on which way you look at it) is Ashlee Simpson's latest "Outta My Head". It's a non-song: strung together verses and no chorus to speak of. Check out the Blade Runner hommage if you can make it to the middle of the video. The song gets more terrible as it goes. I sat at work in astonished horror the first time I saw the video just last week: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsulZKXFxK8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Boy 2.0 Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 i love the fact that you know all these songs so well(yes i know it's because of your job blah blah blah) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 The worst thing about the job is that I'm paid to watch the videos that I hate so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 And "that song" is currently rising up the charts. I realize charts mean nothing to you folks, but the success will prompt Ashlee to put out more albums, and this is unacceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patchoulia Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 This morning I realized I'd have to find a new radio station to which to wake up...the song that prodded me from slumber was some atrocity that goes, "Don't you wish your girlfriend was HOT LIKE ME..."

MarcO Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 I was just gonna say, apparently you've never heard "Breathe" by Keller Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewRider Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 And MarcO wonders how Keller has a career!Apples and oranges. As far as entertaining pop stars go, Ashley Simpson sucks ass. As far as an entertaining jamband musician goes, Keller sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Can someone post "Breathe" for a comparison of bad? I bet Ashlee wins hands down. Hell, even that cover by The Pussycat Dolls that Julia Stone Phillips hates so much won't even make the Top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 The 80's has nothing to do with this decade and topic, although I think the 80's contains the worst music in recorded popular music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, yes, the 80's to me, has a lot to do with this topic. I have no idea where this decade came into play, I was talking only about the video you posted. Although I think a lot(a really huge lot) of shit music was produced in the 80's, it was not all crap. Come on, Glass Tiger was a great band...

Super Freak Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I now see that the thread title includes worst song of the decade...I getcha. I just thought it was more about the video you posted than the song being the worst of the decade. And again, Mister Mister was an awesome band.

Guest Low Roller Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Much Music has music videos again?? Last time I watched it, the channel showed mostly teen brainwashing shows like Celebrity Breakup and the OC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize charts mean nothing to you folks, but the success will prompt Ashlee to put out more albums, and this is unacceptable.I see this as a positive. It will work to keep all of the friggin hosebag fans out of the shows that i like to see. We need more dave matthews bands to get the polo wearing, talk during the music, beemer driving losers out of the good shows!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 jaimoe, what exactly IS your job, and how do i get it?Well, since CTV took over, you have to apply to the Human Resources department. Apply for jobs in Operations like master control/ingest operator, VTR, tape-op. I monitor commercial and program content for 6 music networks, ingest into a massive server programs and commercials, do live show switching on occasion, make sure video keys are correct, act as a liason with producers and production to make sure the right programming goes to air etc... Other than that, I write music reviews for Jambands and watch lots of sports. I actually want a new career, but I'm pretty much to old and too entrenched in supporting my wife's school and future career path to make a switch.I'm at an advantage (depending at how you look at it) of seeing tons of videos per hour, but 70% are brutal. The channels Loud/Vibe and Retro have good videos, but PunchMuch, Much and MuchMore program awful shit, except for the odd Shins, Blue Rodeo, Ryan Adams and other videos of that ilk.
