me and you and a dog named boo

bilby Yeah, Brel, awesome. Mar 3, 2009

rolig The original Brel version is quite good. It's not an earworm to be afraid of. Mar 3, 2009

nycanthro I don't recall ever hearing this song. Although the title rings a bell. Should I YouTube it or leave my ears worm free?

You know, a co-worker actually yelled at me when I told her I'd never seen The Godfather or On The Waterfront. Jeez, I seem to be doing my damndest to reveal my appalling lack of culture. Did I mention I majored in anthropology?

*ponders peddling his Godfather virginity on ebay for a quick buck* Mar 3, 2009

rolig "Seasons in the Sun" is a bowdlerized English version of a fine, bitterly ironic song by Jacques Brel, "Le Moribond" (The Dying Man). There is a video of Brel singing this song on You-Tube (with English subtitles). Mar 2, 2009

frogapplause Seasons in the Sun. Dreadful. I also despise Dream Weaver. Mar 2, 2009

skipvia ♩
We tried to make some newtons
From the fruit it bore, but
It wasn't fig.

A good lyric can really make a song...

sonofgroucho That's quite catchy, actually! Mar 2, 2009

bilby Omg, I was about to add Una Paloma Blanca to SoG's Truly Awful list and I find it's already there! Whahaha! Mar 2, 2009

reesetee I should not have clicked on this page. Mar 2, 2009

rolig Does this bring back any (painful) memories?

See the tree, how big it's grown,
But friend, it hasn't been too long
It wasn't big…

"Honey" would be my submission in this category. Mar 2, 2009

bilby I haven't heard (thankfully?) the lemon dontcry mentions. 'Seasons' definitely has a case to answer. Personally, I have written to technology companies requesting 'Una Paloma Blanca' cancelling headphones so that I might never hear it again for the remainder of my days. 'Blueberry Hill', on the other hand, or the sitar version of 'Edelweiss', fall into that odd category of awful things that make me laugh. Mar 2, 2009

skipvia OK, now Seasons in the Sun has replaced Me and You... in my head and I fear that sionnach may be right about this.

It was a really pleasant Sunday until, you know... Mar 2, 2009

dontcry I hate to be difficult, but you're both wrong. The worst song ever in the history of sound and ears is "Jackie Blue" by the Ozark Mountain Daredevils. The people responsible for writing it, recording it, distributing it, and playing it on the radio should be taken into custody and tried for crimes against humanity.

I'm sorry, but somebody had to say it. Mar 2, 2009

sionnach There is NO song worse than this one in the history of music on any planet in any galaxy.

I beg to differ. "Seasons in the sun" is infinitely worrrse.

.... goodbye to you, retarded friend* ....

* not skipvia, obviously, but the "friend" of the minusvalido cantor

Goodbye, Michelle, it's hard to die Mar 1, 2009

dontcry Gak! Mar 1, 2009

skipvia AAAAUUUUGGGGHHHH!!!!! Mar 1, 2009

dogbreath2 This song harks back to the hippie dippie days of free love and aimless travel. I humbly suggest new lyrics to make the song a bit more bearable.

Old MacDonald he made us work
So we shot him for being a jerk

Another tank of Gas and back on the road again

You and Me and the dog smell like poo
Guessing it's time for our monthly bath.
etc. Mar 1, 2009

skipvia The thought of being reminded of it each time my phone rings makes me shudder.

Save yourself, asativum. Don't seek it out. Jan 20, 2008

asativum I've never heard the song (for which I gather I should thank my stars), but from the comments it sounds more insulting than complimentary. Perhaps it's milder as a ringtone? Jan 20, 2008

skipvia It's a conspiracy to melt our brains and make us all Republicans, I tell you... Jan 20, 2008

mollusque Uh oh, the earworm is spreading. Google is advertising it as a ringtone on this page edit: on Wordie when I commented:
"Me You A Dog Named Boo
Want This Ringtone? 100% Complimentary - Get It Here!
Billboard-box.com/Complimentary." Jan 20, 2008

chained_bear I think it should definitely be a Triad. I mean, it is! Sorry, but it is! It's me, and you.... *bangs head to get song out* Jan 20, 2008

mollusque Well, okay. Seeing as you avoided listing the symptom, I'll try to resist it. Arrgh. Jan 20, 2008

reesetee Please, please don't. Jan 20, 2008

mollusque Do I have to list this as a Triad? Jan 20, 2008

chained_bear Yeah. Um... thanks for that, skipvia. *humming against her will* Jan 19, 2008

reesetee Aaaaaaaaaaaagh!

(Love the "music" tag!) Jan 19, 2008

skipvia There is NO song worse than this one in the history of music on any planet in any galaxy. Kent Lavoie should be shot, as should anyone who ever plays this song again.

Dang it, now I'll be humming it all day... Jan 19, 2008
