Ever have a song you really like except one part that's so bad or flat out durab that it's erabarrassing? This is the place to discuss them.

One that comes immediately to mind for me is "New York City Cops" by the Strokes. I love this song but god damn is the vocal intro retarded. I feel shame for Julian Casablancas every time I hear it.

Ow!

I mean: Agh!

No, I didn't mean that at all.

:rolleyes:
 
the last part of down with the sickness where he says the "no mommy" stuff as if he was a kid getting hit, its such a good song (even if it is super popular now) then that part comes on!
 
I always liked the song. I would dance to the beat and then erabarass the hell out of myself during that solo by doing things I shouldn't have done on the dance floor.

OH! WAIT! Erabarassing to the BAND, not ME...

Okay how about Slightly Stoopid's song "Till It Gets Wet." After releasing the previous album, Everything You Need, this song on the following release, Closer to the Sun, completely sours the entire album, let alone the dub reggae dancebeat it is sung to.

Everything You Need is one of my all time favorite albums though. I feel betrayed.
 
I thought it'd be a lot worse. As yet another fan of Coheed, I'm sure I could come with with parts of songs that are more erabarrassing than this one.
 
That "Woah Oh, Oh woah oh ou ah ou awh" or whatever part in Blood Red Summer was always erabarassing to me...but I just skimmed through the song on YouTube and I guess I'm more used to it now. Not one of my favorite songs of theirs though, to be sure. One of the first really poppy ones.
 
The



part of "Hey You". It's one of the finest examples of darker Pink Floyd right up until that point. It gets almost... cheery.
 
There's a part in "Junesong Provision" that bothers me.

Let me try to find what you were talking about in "Blood Red Summer," though.
 
.....in comparison to the rest of this abortion, it is a pretty trifling thing to get upset by.

.....Elvis Costello has good songs with a few carabrian moments.
 
Is it just me or can you picture the keyboardist just going down the row of instrument selection buttons pushing each one in succession for that bridge part.

"Hmmm... okay piano... oh, now electric piano... now bells... now synth wash. Man this sounRAB great!"
 
So...Coheed.

It may be miniscule, but you'll notice it around 0:58.

I cannot stand the way he says "baby." So much so, I try my best to fast forward throught that part. It's a great song,

..Actually there's alot of worRAB he pronounces oddly in the song.
