can you name a bad song that you think could be decent with the right band? im gonna go with Friday by Rebecca Black. i bet it could actually be good if pearl jam did it with snoop dogg doing the rapping part.
Silence is golden, by frankie valley was a flop, but re released by the Tremeloes was a massive hit! Proof that sometimes, the original is not the best!
I can see not liking ruby Tuesday...actually I can't say I really enjoy it. But I wouldnt even think of mentioning it as a bad song. It is rated on many lists as up there on the greatest songs ever. I was looking for really bad songs. Like fish heads by Barnes and Barnes. I would love to hear claypool do that song.
Yeah I kinda Half Misread the Thread The examples I posted( Were what I thought were) Better than the Original Artists
To Anacreon in Heaven To Anacreon in heaven where he sat in full glee, A few sons of harmony sent a petition, That he their inspirer and patron would be, When this answer arrived from the jolly old Grecian: Voice, fiddle aud flute, no longer be mute, I'll lend you my name and inspire you to boot! And besides I'll instruct you like me to entwine The myrtle of Venus and Bacchus's vine. The news through Olympus immediately flew, When old Thunder pretended to give himself airs, If these mortals are suffered their scheme to pursue, The devil a goddess will stay above stairs, Hark! already they cry, in transports of joy, A fig for Parnassus, to Rowley's we'll fly, And there my good fellows, we'll learn to entwine The myrtle of Venus and Bacchus's vine. The yellow-haired god, and his nine fusty maids, To the hill of old Lud will incontinent flee, Idalia will boast but of tenantless shades, And the biforked hill a mere desert will be, My thunder, no fear on't, will soon do its errand, And, damn me I'll swinge the ringleaders, I warrant I'll trim the young dogs, for thus daring to twine The myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's vine. Apollo rose up and said, "Prythee ne'er quarrel, Good king of the gods, with my votaries below Your thunder is useless - then showing his laurel, Cried, Sic evitabile fulmen, you know! Then over each head my laurels I'll spread, So my sons from your crackers no mischief shall dread Whilst snug in their club-room, they jovially twine The myrtle of Venus and Bacchus's vine. These are the original lyrics to the British bar-room song from which the Star Spangle Banner was stolen. I'd have to say the Star Spangle Banner wins, but by how much you'll have to decide for yourself.
