    Some of the later songs send shivers through my bones, when I used to go to after parties in England (lots of drugs), occasionally there would be a psychopath at the party and everybody would tense up until the person had been removed. They often show the same weird confidence in themselves that these singers do.

      @carthiefd 10 років тому +14

      ***** Oli, I don't think it has anything to do with being edgy. I actually just partially listened to the first song, and already I agree with him. There's something significant to be said for "imperfect" creations - as they can come off sounding far more honest than those that are refined repeatedly over time until they're streamline and tuned. The near-stream of consciousness lyrics of the first song - and his often off-key voice - paint a character whom I actually enjoy listening to.
      Those quirks and imperfections can be really interesting and enjoyable. It's like listening to a stranger talk, openly, without censure or restraint.

    Where Santa Claus on Christmas Eve
    makes children's wishes come true.......
    How do you go to this jewel in the snow?
    How do you find your way?
    The magic is yours if while you sleep
    You dream of Christmas Day.....
    In dreams, little one,
    The fairies will come,
    Take you by the hand...
    With a wave of their wand,
    You will be
    In Santa's magical land...
    Santaland, Santaland,
    Oh what a sight to see!
    With holly ho and mistletoe,
    A fairy's on every tree.....
    **paper turning intensifies**
    With a big hello and a Yo-Ho-Ho,
    Santa will welcome you... in his grotto,
    The toys will be there for Christmas this year,
    Choose all the goodies that bring you good cheer...
    Sleigh through the snow with Santa Claus,
    The reindeer, the sleigh bells will all be yours...
    In Santaland, Santaland,
    Where children want to go....
    **paper turning intensifies further**
    Where blue birds sing,
    Sleigh bells ring,
    And Santa loves you so......
    You will awake to so many toys,
    Christmas will be full of wonder and joys,
    From Santaland, for children like you,
    To make your Christmas wishes come true.................
    **loud banging noise**

    Song 1, his singing got better near the end.
    Truly should be known as Cocaine Heartache
    Country western can only be done on synthesizers by a select few.
    Santa Land needs a serious backing track!

    This is actually the third time I've heard of the UK making a Worst compilation of something. First time was the worst computer games ever submitted to a particular company and the second being not one but two listing of worst towns.
    The first one was funny because the game outright told you to not buy it and instead pirate it.
    Amazing.

    "Nothing compares 2 U" - sounds like George Takei did a cover of an O'Connor song. Whom ever sang this tried, not like the guy who followed him.
    "You Are the Best thing in the World" - sounds like it would fit in as a credit roll song on a JRPG where no one bothered to try to make it 'work' in English; just quirky bad.
    "Santaland" - this song is just pervy (stay away from the windowless van!!!)
    "All the people with the money" -- ???? this is just terrible!!!!

  • @Algahiem
    @Algahiem 8 років тому +7

    Here's my personal abridged review of these tracks:
    Track 1 0:15 - Sound like if your dad got drunk and embarrassed you on karaoke night.
    Track 2 5:13 - OMG, this guy isn't even trying. Absolutely pathetic.
    Track 3 7:36 - Uurgh! The song has much cheese in it, that it's nauseating!
    Track 4 13:05 - This individual is less like a Country Western singer and more like someone I'd hire for a preshool kid's party...if I was short on cash.
    Track 5 19:20 - This guy has the voice of an Angel...of Death!
    Track 5 23:15 - It's like if Bob Dylan was born again...without his ability to sing, play guitar or write cohesive lyrics.
    Conclusion: I you looking for last minute novelty gift, burn these hot tracks on a CD and give it to someone you love (or hate).

    Is it bad that I actually liked quite a few of these? Nothing Compares 2 U, the singer's voice might be a bit unusual but I liked it myself. Proof that it's hard to truly ruin a good song. You Are the Best Thing in the World had some weak lyrics but was actually super fun to listen to. The trio of songs by the woman could have been spiced up with a better singer and some real instruments (as opposed to the Casio-sounding keyboard), but overall they seemed charming and quirky. Even Santaland wouldn't have been terrible with accompaniment and a different vocalist. The only ones that I Truly thought were bad were... well, the ones by Truly (these are also the ones that are most believable as demo submissions, I've heard tracks almost exactly like that as demos brought in to the studio where I record) and the second song by the Santaland guy, it sounded like he forgot the words and started making it up as he went along.
    But as for All the People With the Money... that... THING is in a category of its own. I don't know WHAT that is.
