Totally serious. I love Shatner but i cannot watch that performance without cringing to the max. Though in fairness Leonard Nimoy's offering was even worse and since it was straight faced attempt, even more cringy

Another one that falls into the "so bad it might be brilliant" category.

Nimoy's "Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" video is mind-numbingly, shockingly, bad.

dam, you beat me to the punch. I was going to suggest that video. For those of you who haven't seen it, DO NOT seek it out! A: That stupid song gets stuck in your head and B: the dancing hobbits in rainbow shirts is sure to give anyone nightmares.

Thankyouveryfuckingmuch.

LOL sorry to be late on this one, but as I read it, I was reminded of my cousin's wedding where at the reception, the whole wedding party was on a stage (yes!) LEADING the guests in doing the Macarena (sp??). Oh lawd what a memory, but the wedding overall was a blast.

The hit or miss eighties.

The kids earned a trip to TGI Fridays for their successful behavior mod. I don't know if it's always like this but it was all eighties. Some pretty cool old tunes were played but when they ran out a George Michaels / Laura Branigan one two punch, I had to leave the table

No! I just meant look what really bad songs/singing can do to a person! I knew that sooner or later Laura was gonna blow a blood vessel. I didn't mean to make you feel bad. I always hated Laura Branigan's stuff.

After some careful thought, two songs come to mind:

"Copa Cabana" by Barry Manilow
http://www.angelfire.com/va/srisons/cabana.html

"Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl..."

"Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice
http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip...23/icebaby.txt

"Take heed, 'caese I'm a lyrical poet..."

Oddly enough "Ice Ice Baby" was sampled from one of my favorite songs.

"Under Pressure" by Queen and David Bowie
http://www.queenwords.com/lyrics/songs/sng19_02.shtml

I ran a DJ company when "Ice Ice Baby" was released and it killed nightly to play this shit on the big speakers to a roomful of screaming girls. Sometimes I'd slip "Under Pressure" into the mix just to watch the crowd turn on me. I never had the time to explain the song was a rip off...
