The Bad in Times of Good: The Competition ROUND 8

This time around, let's venture into a little history. List of participants: neekafat, anatelier, DeadlyNightShade, Sevengill, Conmaniac, Drifter, dbizzles, DoofusWainwright, BlazinBlitzer, AsleepInTheBack, bgillesp, Joeman82, CompostCompote
13Skillet
Unleashed


-1SAVE from the deposit
Drifter
Skillet Lickers - Run Nigger Run

This one takes the cake among the racist songs on this list, because unlike the others, this was actually a folk song. Children were singing it during playtime. That's fucked up. In Australia, we didn't abuse them like that, we just straight out killed them...yeah, we ain't exactly nice either. shit white people do/5

(Skillet Lickers weren't in the database, so I'm putting Skillet as a placeholder)
12John Cage
4'33''


-ELIMINATED-
DoofusWainwright
4'33

...smart...very smart... But you know I can't rate this, because it technically is...well, literally nothing. silence/5
11Das Racist
Shut Up, Dude


-ELIMINATED-
BlazinBlitzer
Spencer, Ossman, and Jefferson - Coon, Coon, Coon
https://youtu.be/2bNkdj8pKso?t=8s
1.0/5

(None of these fucks are in the database, so I'm putting Das Racist as a placeholder)
10Alvin and The Chipmunks
The Alvin Show


-ELIMINATED-
Joeman82
Dave Seville and the Chipmunks - Witch Doctor

Ah this is what that is, ha? Is it really that good of an idea to sing with the chipmunks using metaphores of the plague years? Follow up question, is it that good of an idea to sing with the chipmunks? 1.1/5
9Len Sander
Phantom Garden


-ELIMINATED-
neekafat
Len Spencer - All Coons Look Alike To Me

19th century racism. Delightful. 1.1/5

(Len Spencer wasn't in the database, so I'm putting Len Sander as a placeholder)
8Frank Sinatra
Ultimate Sinatra


bgillesp
Mama Will Bark

What in the world are those lyrics? And those female backing vocals? Frank's vocals absolutely don't fit to this and the effects on the background are atrocious, even if rare. 1.4/5
7Joss Stone
Mind Body & Soul


anatelier
The Popcorn Song

Silliest song this side of Pretty Woman. 1.5/5

(Cliffie Stone wasn't in the database, so I'm putting Joss Stone as a placeholder)
6The Royal Teens
Short Shorts


DeadlyNightShade
Short Shorts

Proof that dumbass idiotic lyrics were a thing back in the day too. 1.6/5
5Comus
First Utterance


CompostCompote
Perry Como - Hot Diggity

Primitive songwriting, simplistic lyrics, dumb hook and annoying instrumentation. Ehh. 2.0/5

(Perry Como wasn't in the database, so I'm putting Comus as a placeholder)
4Spike Jones & His City Slickers
The Best Of: Spike Jones


Sevengill
Der Führer's Face

Quite understandible joke song from the times it was made in, not anywhere great though. It's just sort of uninteresting, and that's the worst I can really say about it. That and that a lot of the time it just sounds incredibly annoying. 2.4/5
3Joni Mitchell
Court and Spark


Conmaniac
Guy Mitchell - Sippin' Soda

The most romantic thing you can sing about...until the song gets oddly uncomfortable. Like, who the fuck just picks up a straw somewhere (not estimated where exactly) and starts sippin' someone else's soda...and she's okay with it. What in the world? 2.5/5

(Guy Mitchell wasn't in the database, so I'm putting Joni Mitchell as a placeholder)
2Chris Cornell
Scream


AsleepInTheBack
Don Cornell - The Bible Tells Me So

I wish I had that kind of hilariously blind faith Americans have. Oh Don, you poor gullible boy. Music-wise, it's bland and unimpressive, but absolutely unimpressive. 2.9/5

(Don Cornell wasn't in the database, so I'm putting Chris Cornell as a placeholder)
1The Playmates
Short Wave


-VICTORIOUS-
dbizzles
Beep Beep

A song about road rage from before people figured out that they need headrest in their cars, in case they crash, so that their heads don't fall off. Still, nice joke. 3.2/5
