So far so good, I haven’t heard anything said about The Mothers of Invention, you know, Frank Zappa’s old band. I agree with the whole Beatles pick up to a point. That point would have to be Sergeant Pepper that’s where I think it all went wrong. Thankfully, they redeemed themselves with Abbey Road. I would never want to see The Doors in concert. I think starting riots at concerts are the biggest insult to fans second, only two the singer turning your back to you and just singing like that.. I would be thinking “what are you turning your back to me? I could just stay home and play the record.”

@davidwiley4953 Johnny Burnette didn't write it. It was written by the Sherman Brothers, a couple years before they started writing songs for Disney. All the songs from Mary Poppins and all from the Jungle Book except the Bare Necessities were written by them.

Can't force people to like everything. I was born in the 50s so grew up during 60s and 70s and listened to majority of it, some great, some not so. Preferred music from 1920s to the early 70s, with lots of classical thrown in. Everyone has their favourite decade that does'nt suit others. No point getting upset about it, just don't listen to stuff you don't like. Radios have and off switch, use it when something you hate comes on. I listen to Amazon radio stations as I can select decades I enjoy and avoid those I don't. With normal commercial radio its guaranteed that something will come on that you hate, but if you turn it off you may miss next one you do like. No win situation, that's why I stick to specialised radio stations for decades I love like Amazon's and BBC Sound of the 60s, 70s and 90s. Get to hear music you love without having to suffer music you don't like. There is a Sounds of the 80s channel on BBC Sounds for those who like that sort of thing, same on Amazon too. Check them out and happy listening.
'Muskrat Love' was originally titled 'Muskrat Candlelight' by its composer and first performer, Willis Alan Ramsey. It was renamed 'Muskrat Love' when covered by America on their 'Hat Trick' album. Neither version was as offensive as C&T's take with all the synthesized burps and farts thrown in as an effort to be cute.
Some I could do without. But my older brother (18 years older than me) actually had me listen to some of these songs and learn a few kinda his version of musical appreciation class. Study lyrics for some, guitar or piano for others.
The Monkees caught way too much flak for them not writing their songs or not playing their instruments, many groups did the same thing and since the Wrecking Crew was the group of musicians who played on the records, I don't see the problem
I don't "hate" any of these songs OR Bands. Who hated them? No one "deserves" hatred for making music. If I have to think of a song I "hate", it would be 'Who Let The Dogs Out'. I could go forever and never hear it again. 😅
Songs hated by who exactly? This list does not seem to reflect any the opinion of any general group of people. It looks as if one person simply listed a bunch of stuff he doesn't like.
The Osmonds were the Jackson 5's top bubble-gum competition before MJ went solo. I remember them both having their best happening from '69 to the the earliest '70's.
@@longagoandfaraway7868 "One Bad Apple" was written for the J5, but they never performed it. That's why, even though the Osmonds performed it, it sounded like the J5. BTW, in the 60's, the Osmonds were Andy Williams back-up singers. In their turn, Donny and Marie were introduced on The Andy Williams Show.
@@shakerman55 tell me about it, have absolutely no idea who any of them are except that they have weird nanes. Fragile little snowflakes of this generation.
Every Mexican i knew growing up, love the song speedy Gonzales. The current younger generations can't handle anything that points to the fact that there are stereotypes for reasons and just recognizing that is not hateful. Modern fragility will be the death of the free world.
The narrator saying that Speedy was a racist character is confusing. So, making a Mexican character a cool and likable good guy is somehow wrong? And then singing about him makes it worse? The narrator has a strange idea of what racist means. Don't despair though. A lot of kids from the newer generation are getting plenty tired of the world being offended. There is hope!
I’m Mexican American and I’ve always liked Soeedy Gonzales and his cousin SlowPoke Rodriguez. They are caricatures, and exaggerated ones at that. But they were funny to me as a kid. I’ve watched more recently and I still see the obvious humor.
Gabriel Iglesias has a great stand up routine talking about speedy Gonzales on TH-cam. I wish white liberals would stop being offended for everyone else.
@@desertrat7634 Soooo right. How DID I survive listening to - and loving - both the Osmonds and Jimmie Hendrix as well as everybody else! This generation wants everybody to shut up because it 'triggers' them. LOL
It’s obvious you didn’t live in the 60’s and the 70’s. Many of those songs are favorites. Disco Duck was to make fun of disco because disco sucked so badly.
I honestly thank God I grew up LONG before everyone looked for utter feltergarb to be permanently insulted and offended by. The world before 2000 was so much better off.
How can you fault the singer of Young Girl for singing that song. He is telling the young girl to stop acting grown up and be a kid. Musicians always have young girls after them and a song telling them to be a kid is how a musician communicates with their fans.
I love most of these songs!!! I don’t understand why Young girl” is so maligned when he is telling the girl, who apparently fooled him regarding her age, to stay away but nobody worries about Neil Diamond’s “You’ll be a woman soon” or Oingo Boingo’s “I love little girls”, Stray Cats’ “Sexy and 17” or the Beatles’ “You’re 16” Also, there was/is NOTHING RACIST about Speedy Gonzalez and having been born and raised in Mexico I can tell you he was one of our favorites, and Pat Boone’s song was actually translated and covered by SEVERAL Mexican pop bands. I wish people who know nothing would stop speaking for us and erasing the things we love.
I loved every song you hate! I'm a baby boomer, yu have to come from that era to appreciate " maybe not so much the lyrics" but the music is very memorable!! Many were happy and fun!
Same here. Baby boomer who knew good music when she heard it. Today's garbage is far from satisfactory, in fact it is abysmal compared to the great music we had. My kids were born in 70s and 80s and now in late 30s and 40s, they had their own musical tastes that were rooted in the mid 90s and upwards. Britpop, rock, indie, grunge, dance, each lad had his favourites. They were'nt interested in rap from what I could make out, usually turned it off when that come on, their choice entirely. No one can force someone to listen to something they don't like?
These songs of the 70’s , 80’s, & 90’s were pretty great, although some of the 90’s music 🎵 were not as great 😊. Most of the 70’s,80’s songs I really enjoyed because I am from the era of music 🎶 of the 60’s&70’s. The song called “Feelings “ is one that I really like!! 😅😊❤💜😎🖤☮️🌈🦄🦋🇺🇸🇹🇨🏴🇬🇧. Thanks for the memories of those years back then!! 😂 42:38
Yeesh, you can taste the salt coming from here! I get it, we get it but c'mon now. I'm an 80s baby myself and I grew up around that kind of music, watched TV shows that were a LOT more exciting than whatever we got nowadays. You may not like it but you got masses that grew up listening to that and didn't need to understand it.
Totally agree Kim. Gen Z have a lot to answer for. Totally intalented and clueless about making music worth listening too. All woke salad crap. Not memorable whatsoever.
@@trance9158talking about music of those decades, not what was going on politically. And btw, WE in the UK did'nt have no part of your war with Vietnam. We were kids enjoying the music of our time. We never looked at newspapers or watched the news, our parents shielded us from war, we lived in relative peace here. These such matters were only discussed by our parents when we were asleep in bed at night. All we cared about was if our favourite singer or band was No. 1 in the charts and watch them perform on Top Of The Pops in the 60s and 70s, great music.
"Yummy Yummy Yummy" is about oral sex. Members of the band gave an interview, saying that they wanted to see if they could get it past the censors. They made it sound so cheesy that censors ignored it. 🤣🤣🤣
Those songs and groups are what my generation grew up with . They are better than todays music .Whom ever you are that did this video , most likely you were not even born yet.
i don't like your commentary the most hated songs we liked them a lot. You have to put a bad spin on them. i guess you are to young to understand, we were changing the world back then.
How were you "changing the world?" A pretty self serving thing to say, if you ask me. I think some of the songs weren't that bad, but certainly Feelings, Afternoon Delight, Muskrat Love , and Kokomo are horrible. Still, this Nick guy, the narrator, is an a-hole. Pretty mean spirited to call Toni Basil "Middle Aged".
Carrie Fisher was 22 years old when she filmed the "You're Sixteen" video. Songwriters aren't necessarily writing about themselves, or writing about the present. There's nothing in the lyrics to suggest the guy is older than here. It's a lot more likely the song is about two high school sweethearts who are the same age. Was Sheb Wooley really concerned he'd be eaten by a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater, or do you think he thought it would be a catchy, successful song?
These were good songs! So I guess you’re gonna defend the crap that’s out today. At least these songs were family, friendly, and the singers had talent. I’m sick and tired of this generation being so damn overly sensitive which I’m guessing the narrator is part of the generation.
Obviously done by someone that didn’t experience that era. Agree with some but there were definitely worse. How about Here Comes the Judge.and My Ding a Ling? Or possibly D.O.A…or The Archie’s and The Cowsills?
@@SmokeyGoodness I have the Bloodrock albums too and and like them. Arguably unique and groundbreaking at the time, so based on whatever criteria was used to compile this list could have been included. I disagree with many of the songs on the list.
Your most hated songs. I and many disagree. Lighten up and laugh a bit because your generation seem to sit around and wait to complain about the smallest things like a cartoon.
Wait a flippin' minute!!! 🛑 *Richard Harris* sang MacArthur Park?!?? Huwhaaaaatttt???? Sir Richard Harris?!? "A Man Called Horse" Richard Harris?!? 😂😂😂 I never knew this! 👌 💯 😂
I have a question. In the song "Brown Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison, he saw "you just the other day, my, how you have grown". Then he goes on with his memories of "making love behind the stadium to you, my BEG." But, she's GROWN since then?? How the he'll old WAS she back then if she's grown some. Creepy... Oh, and ZZ Top's "Francine just turned 13, she's my answer to a teenage queen!"
Btw, people don't like a song based on the lyrics; they're barely aware of them. They like a song because of the music- the beat, melody, etc, or the harmonies or sound of a singer's voice. Most people couldn't give a sh-t about lyrics.
They were obviously loved by millions, if not me, or we wouldn't know them and be discussing them now. I've grown to where I don't ask whether I like a song (especially an oldie hit), but rather why did it work on anyone?
The only thing I hate here is YOU making this video. It started with the thumbnail: Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks and Deborah Harry representing a 'most hated' list??? So I clicked and watched, only to find that none of these actually were on the list. That is a good thing, 'cause they sure don't belong on one. So that was merely clickbait, and sure enough I fell for it. But neither of the others belong on this list either. YOU may not like them, but others do. In the end I even clicked a thumb down, and made this comment. So I guess you achieved all your goals with this one. Shame on you.
Say what you want about the music of the 1960s, but people were more open-minded about trying different kinds of music. On any given week, the Billboard charts were a mixed bag of rock, pop, instrumental, jazz, country, ballad, psychedelic, heavy metal, and on and on. What other decade had a Top 40 list that contained both Frank Sinatra and psychedelic band Iron Butterfly?
I was almost 6 years old in early 1970 when Billboard announced that "Sugar, Sugar" was the number one song of 1969. My older brother threw a fit. Not even a mention, here? C'mon! At about the time "Feelings" was popular, "The Gong Show" had an episode where all the contestants sang the song. Only the first contestant was allowed to finish, so he won the episode. When the celebrity judges realized what was happening, they gonged all the remaining contestants on their first note.
So I read the lead line, saw the thumbnail, knew what I was getting into..... but you'll not be forgiven for "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy", not ever! Great vid.
Genesis surprised me a bit. "Batdance" was actually terrible, my wife hates it and she is a huge Prince fan. "Physical" was pretty cheesy, but ONJ will always be one of my faves; plus the video was pretty funny actually.
Elvis once remarked if Harris had not recorded MacArthur Park, he would be in the studio recording the song. I think Elvis would have nailed the song (and I'm a Beatles guy.)
When the MacArthur Park song came on when me and my siblings were in the car we'd stay in it to sing along. Even as little kids we found the lyrics ridiculous, but still a great memory.
Physical was banned from release until Olivia NJ put out the video wearing workout clothing. The 70s high school kids loved the fact that the older generation played it. And everyone loved Olivia back then.
How about a 45 minute video on the gawd-awful horrible songs for the past ten years. Oh, wait, you're gonna have to do a entire series of 45-minute videos for that.
You do know that Ringo Starr's version of "You're Sixteen" was a cover of the Johnny Burnett version from 1960, right? Written by the Sherman Brothers, it pretty much was par for the teenybopper love songs of the late 1950s and early 1960s. I'm certain that Ringo meant no harm in singing it, most likely he just thought it had a catchy tune and it probably brought back memories of his early days, so lay off. As for the delayed video, that was from his 1978 TV film 'Ringo' which was based on Mark Twain's 'Prince and the Pauper' and Ringo played himself and his lookalike 'Ognir Rrats' Art Carney played Ognir's dad and Carrie Fisher played his girlfriend, who was in the 'video' and was being sung to. If you didn't actually live in this time and didn't see this when it first came out, and didn't bother to research anything, then don't make snide condescending pronouncements about things you don't know shit about.
I grew up listening to the Osmond’s and of course had a crush on Donny, still do lol. I don’t think it’s fair to say they were hated. Just because they were a clean cut wholesome band? They’re a very talented family and had many hits. I met Donny 40 years ago along with Marie. He signed my 45 of Puppy Love and was the nicest guy to talk to. I’ve never heard anyone say the Osmond’s were hated. And so many others on this list shouldn’t be on here. These songs bring back some of the best memories of my childhood and teen years. Those songs were way better than most songs today. All the cussing through hard core rap? I’ll take the 60’s and 70’s again
Two other bad 70's song that you forgot was the Terry Jacks hit "Seasons in the Sun." It's probably the origin of Emo rock. His voice is very whiny too. Another one is the Minnie Ripperton tune "Lovin' You." Another sappy 70's tune, one critic at the time stated that at time it sounded like she was trying to simulate the sound a cat would make while being strangled. Sadly, this made it to #1 in 1974.
This is a stupid way to kill time…🙄….and I’ll never get this time back. Did I like all of these songs when they came out? No. But then I’m not a TH-camr trying to make money while whining about the pathetic nature of past popular culture music. Note; you should take a look at some of the crap that comes out now. Definitely NOT subscribing.
Dude, you want to show top hated songs but you don’t play any of them. Not even a little good. Play at least 15/20 seconds of them. That’s pathetic man. Get it right so you can get descent comments
Where to start? 1) You had to be there. This sounds like a most hated list by someone who didn't live through these decades. Not surprising as it sounds like a copy of many similar TH-cam videos with many of the same songs - also by people who didn't live through these decades. Yes some fans didn't like "Revolution #9" for example but many others, such as my friends and I, found it one of the most interesting songs on an album that was full of filler songs. Also we listened to it over and over as we had to wait for the next Beatle release. We did not have the luxury of sitting down and listening to the entire Beatles catalogue at one time. Also bitching about "We Built This City" now ignores the fact that the B side had empty space where the local DJ could adlib the sections about their own city. It was fun listening to local DJ's trying to fill in your city. Now we just hear the pop single version. 2) Popular yet hated? If a song sold hundreds of thousands of copies at the time then clearly it wasn't hated by many. The fact that decades later we don't want to hear Girl or Physical is a reflection of both our changing times and not a reflection on the song or band when it was popular. 3) Overplayed. The reason that many of the 60's-80's songs are disliked by the current generation is that we've overplayed them to death. If I never hear another song from those decades then I'd be okay for that. If Directors would just stop using music from the last century in movies and tv shows. 4) Pop v.s. Rock v.s. Novelty. When you make this type of video, if you jump through various music genera then you are going to get poor reactions. Placing innocuous music like the Carpenters with novelty songs like Disco Duck with attempts at avante garde like Revolution #9 is just an easy and sloppy way of throwing together a video. 5) Old Stories. Like other videos, it falls back on old stories that don't matter anymore like the Monkees being a manufactured band. Of course they were and they fully agree having sung "Hey, hey we are the Monkees, you know we like to please, we're a manufactured image, with no philosophies..... You say we're manufactured. To that we all agree. So make your choice and we'll rejoice and never be free. Hey Hey we are the Monkees, We've said it all before. The money's in. We're made of tin. We're here to give you more." Many groups were manufactured such as obvious ones such as The Partridge Family but even groups like the Sex Pistols and Culture Club. To create this type of list you need to stick within a category of music or select criteria that can be used across categories.
Calling Prince out? Batdance was shit, but at the time it was released, there was soooo much sampling going on; so Prince just sampled and sequenced himself... that was pretty ballsy of the guy and guess what? People bought it, so who is the fool, the fool who creates the product, or the fool who buys it?
I remember 'Henry the VIII' by Herman's Hermits. drove me crazy. My sister played it over and over, I thought she was trying to torment me, but, no- it was just the only record she had
I always liked The Buggles. Plus Mickey (Toni Basil) had one of the greatest lines ever to slip past the top 40 radio censors. "I'll do it any way you want. I'll take it like a man".
All I got out of this is how screwed up perceptions are today. With a raciest here and there added in. The 1960's and early 70's was really a different world. We didn't find hate everywhere like we do today. We didn't get all worked up over nothing like we do today. About the only thing we hated back then was the stupid War. We laughed at Tiny Tim and sure as hell didn't mind hearing it and there was a radio station called Dr. Demento that loved to play the crazy songs like "Their Coming to Take Me Away" and I'm looking over, my Dead dog Rover who I hit with a power mower" along with some Weird Al stuff. Maybe we were all too stoned to let anything bother us and just get a laugh out of it. In a way your reasons for bashing what was fun is part of what is going wrong with everything today and it's really sad.
Every one of these songs are better than what the crap they're putting out nowadays especially rap and anything Taylor Swift puts out.
Lol I call her Taylor Twit
I agree. I like 60’s music. I am a boomer.🇺🇸

The Monkees caught way too much flak for them not writing their songs or not playing their instruments, many groups did the same thing and since the Wrecking Crew was the group of musicians who played on the records, I don't see the problem
Except the Monkees were Americas version of the Beatles sort of and were held to a higher standard.
@@justsomeguy1074, “held to a higher standard”, are you kidding? No one expected anything from the Monkees, other than silliness!! 🤔
@@lylecoglianese1645 At first they were silly then they got more serious later
@@justsomeguy1074 , they tried to be serious now and then. I think they were just having fun, tried to make it work, then just gave up! 🤷🏼♂️
Who are The Wrecking Crew, never heard of them?
Yummy Tummy is that feeling you get when you are close to your crush. ❤
"Old girl, get out of my mind" would never have worked.
I don't "hate" any of these songs OR Bands.
Who hated them? No one "deserves" hatred for making music.
If I have to think of a song I "hate", it would be 'Who Let The Dogs Out'. I could go forever and never hear it again. 😅
🤣🤣🤣@@Wistful77
Songs hated by who exactly? This list does not seem to reflect any the opinion of any general group of people. It looks as if one person simply listed a bunch of stuff he doesn't like.
Likely a Gen Z 🤡 chose ones he hated because they were far better than the crap they inflict on OUR generation now.
Probably hated by Millenials and Gen Z.
The Osmonds were not from the 60s. Get your information correct! They were actually from the 70s.
My 13 year old self loved them in the 70s.
The Osmonds were the Jackson 5's top bubble-gum competition before MJ went solo. I remember them both having their best happening from '69 to the the earliest '70's.
They both had Saturday morning cartoons on ABC (which worked well with the J5 song).
@@longagoandfaraway7868 "One Bad Apple" was written for the J5, but they never performed it. That's why, even though the Osmonds performed it, it sounded like the J5.
BTW, in the 60's, the Osmonds were Andy Williams back-up singers. In their turn, Donny and Marie were introduced on The Andy Williams Show.
I loved and bought all these songs ! So lighting upthese songs sold millions!!
I bought all of these songs too. They sounded better than the trash that is coming out now.
@@shakerman55 tell me about it, have absolutely no idea who any of them are except that they have weird nanes. Fragile little snowflakes of this generation.
LOVE these songs!!!
Beloved part of my childhood memories.
I don't know who they polled for this list, but they aren't sources that I would respect.
No poll. Just one guy's opinion
And the award for the most punchable narrator of all time goes to...
Every Mexican i knew growing up, love the song speedy Gonzales. The current younger generations can't handle anything that points to the fact that there are stereotypes for reasons and just recognizing that is not hateful. Modern fragility will be the death of the free world.
The narrator saying that Speedy was a racist character is confusing. So, making a Mexican character a cool and likable good guy is somehow wrong? And then singing about him makes it worse? The narrator has a strange idea of what racist means. Don't despair though. A lot of kids from the newer generation are getting plenty tired of the world being offended. There is hope!
I’m Mexican American and I’ve always liked Soeedy Gonzales and his cousin SlowPoke Rodriguez. They are caricatures, and exaggerated ones at that. But they were funny to me as a kid. I’ve watched more recently and I still see the obvious humor.
@@julieabraham3566 I sure hope your right
@@sammartinezduarte2639 I forgot about slow poke. Thanks for the reminder. 😁 I was pretty young when I watched them.
Gabriel Iglesias has a great stand up routine talking about speedy Gonzales on TH-cam. I wish white liberals would stop being offended for everyone else.
Yep. The world was a terrible place back when people had a sense of humor.
Younger people are too freaking fragile and are exhausting to be around
@desertrat7634 yep they are
@@desertrat7634 Soooo right. How DID I survive listening to - and loving - both the Osmonds and Jimmie Hendrix as well as everybody else! This generation wants everybody to shut up because it 'triggers' them. LOL
It’s obvious you didn’t live in the 60’s and the 70’s. Many of those songs are favorites. Disco Duck was to make fun of disco because disco sucked so badly.
@@PyroRob69 😯 What?! I liked Disco. You could skate to it.

I love the Osmonds. My aunt took my older sister and me to a concert at MTG in the early 70s…and it's a cherished memory! 💕
I meant MSG -- Madison Square Garden 😂
They're a Natural Icon! We owe a lot to them for helping our culture hold on to its innocence.
The Osmonds did a 25 year anniversary tour with every one of those kids, and it was one of the best concerts I;ve ever seen, and I've seen a lot!
I honestly thank God I grew up LONG before everyone looked for utter feltergarb to be permanently insulted and offended by. The world before 2000 was so much better off.
How can you fault the singer of Young Girl for singing that song. He is telling the young girl to stop acting grown up and be a kid. Musicians always have young girls after them and a song telling them to be a kid is how a musician communicates with their fans.
I love most of these songs!!! I don’t understand why Young girl” is so maligned when he is telling the girl, who apparently fooled him regarding her age, to stay away but nobody worries about Neil Diamond’s “You’ll be a woman soon” or Oingo Boingo’s “I love little girls”, Stray Cats’ “Sexy and 17” or the Beatles’ “You’re 16”
Also, there was/is NOTHING RACIST about Speedy Gonzalez and having been born and raised in Mexico I can tell you he was one of our favorites, and Pat Boone’s song was actually translated and covered by SEVERAL Mexican pop bands. I wish people who know nothing would stop speaking for us and erasing the things we love.
I do not agree with you on this topic. You should have done a poll before posting this one.
The ethos here is hatred. 😅
I loved every song you hate! I'm a baby boomer, yu have to come from that era to appreciate " maybe not so much the lyrics" but the music is very memorable!! Many were happy and fun!
Same here. Baby boomer who knew good music when she heard it. Today's garbage is far from satisfactory, in fact it is abysmal compared to the great music we had. My kids were born in 70s and 80s and now in late 30s and 40s, they had their own musical tastes that were rooted in the mid 90s and upwards. Britpop, rock, indie, grunge, dance, each lad had his favourites. They were'nt interested in rap from what I could make out, usually turned it off when that come on, their choice entirely. No one can force someone to listen to something they don't like?
They're Coming to Take Me Away HA HA...i loved that when i was a kid, knew all the words and i still have the album.😂

Each generation has their songs which weren’t meant for any other age group. Try comparing apples and oranges.
I love disco duck & still play it today lol Alot of these sings are good & my grandkids even like em today.
These songs of the 70’s , 80’s, & 90’s were pretty great, although some of the 90’s music 🎵 were not as great 😊.

Thanks for the memories of those years back then!! 😂 42:38
Yeesh, you can taste the salt coming from here! I get it, we get it but c'mon now. I'm an 80s baby myself and I grew up around that kind of music, watched TV shows that were a LOT more exciting than whatever we got nowadays. You may not like it but you got masses that grew up listening to that and didn't need to understand it.
Things back then didn't mean the same thing they do now. They were innocent and not full of bad words and hate and stupid lyrics like we have now.
Innocent huh? Vietnam, race riots,... Yeah wonderful and innocent huh?
Totally agree Kim. Gen Z have a lot to answer for. Totally intalented and clueless about making music worth listening too. All woke salad crap. Not memorable whatsoever.
@@trance9158talking about music of those decades, not what was going on politically. And btw, WE in the UK did'nt have no part of your war with Vietnam. We were kids enjoying the music of our time. We never looked at newspapers or watched the news, our parents shielded us from war, we lived in relative peace here. These such matters were only discussed by our parents when we were asleep in bed at night. All we cared about was if our favourite singer or band was No. 1 in the charts and watch them perform on Top Of The Pops in the 60s and 70s, great music.
"Yummy Yummy Yummy" is about oral sex. Members of the band gave an interview, saying that they wanted to see if they could get it past the censors. They made it sound so cheesy that censors ignored it. 🤣🤣🤣
I loved “Tip Toe Through the Tulips” when I was a toddler
Those songs and groups are what my generation grew up with . They are better than todays music .Whom ever you are that did this video , most likely you were not even born yet.
Yeah, the pretentious child that made this video has a tin ear.
I think the words hate and hated mean something different these days.
Is Pat Boone still alive?
Yep...90. Debby is 67.
It was about his DOG and for his DOG, hahaa
i don't like your commentary the most hated songs we liked them a lot. You have to put a bad spin on them. i guess you are to young to understand, we were changing the world back then.
He was being jerk on this one!
Too young to understand... (TOO!)
How were you "changing the world?" A pretty self serving thing to say, if you ask me.
I think some of the songs weren't that bad, but certainly Feelings, Afternoon Delight, Muskrat Love , and Kokomo are horrible.
Still, this Nick guy, the narrator, is an a-hole. Pretty mean spirited to call Toni Basil "Middle Aged".
@@danielmaher7108 we were young and thought we were
Ditto! At least our generation could sing and play music and sound the same in live. Way too negative . Still better than crap today.
Um… They’re Coming To Take Me Away is actually about a dog. Not a lover.
That’s what makes it comedy gold.
No, it's not. The obviously unhappy singer is calling his ex-lover a "mangy mutt" as he spirals into madness. Google it!
I agree!!
Carrie Fisher was 22 years old when she filmed the "You're Sixteen" video. Songwriters aren't necessarily writing about themselves, or writing about the present. There's nothing in the lyrics to suggest the guy is older than here. It's a lot more likely the song is about two high school sweethearts who are the same age.
Was Sheb Wooley really concerned he'd be eaten by a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater, or do you think he thought it would be a catchy, successful song?
These were good songs! So I guess you’re gonna defend the crap that’s out today. At least these songs were family, friendly, and the singers had talent. I’m sick and tired of this generation being so damn overly sensitive which I’m guessing the narrator is part of the generation.
Yeah safe spaces didn't exist back then thus making an uptight-free time.
I disagree with almost all of this lol
Obviously done by someone that didn’t experience that era. Agree with some but there were definitely worse. How about Here Comes the Judge.and My Ding a Ling? Or possibly D.O.A…or The Archie’s and The Cowsills?
I did NOT like My Ding a Ling. They way overplayed that song when it came out
I still (to this very day) have Bloodrock 2, and everything else they recorded. There were 2 separate versions of the band, and both were great.
@@SmokeyGoodness I have the Bloodrock albums too and and like them. Arguably unique and groundbreaking at the time, so based on whatever criteria was used to compile this list could have been included. I disagree with many of the songs on the list.
"Feelings" will always remind me of the Carol Burnett show. LOL
Apparently your aim was to piss off as many viewers as possible. Obviously you were not born in the 60’s and didn’t research beyond the surface.
Your most hated songs. I and many disagree. Lighten up and laugh a bit because your generation seem to sit around and wait to complain about the smallest things like a cartoon.
Didn't get a lot of trim in High School, did we there Booboo?
You did Tiny Tim twice in this video. Also, I can't stand to look at Captain from "Captain and Tennille". His eyes are disturbing.
I can’t give a thumbs up and I gotta get rid of the video with only 1/4 of it played.
Rupert Holmes also had a song titled answering machine, where he's playing phone tag with his girlfriend, he leaves her a message proposing.
You hit most of these on target! Good upload!!!
I love Kokomo
Sorry, I’m Mexican and I do not find anything racist about Speedy Gonzales?
Toni Basil was THIRTY-EIGHT when she did "Hey Mickey"????
Criticize her all you want but wow I wish I could do a split like that at that age!!
Wait a flippin' minute!!! 🛑 *Richard Harris* sang MacArthur Park?!?? Huwhaaaaatttt???? Sir Richard Harris?!? "A Man Called Horse" Richard Harris?!? 😂😂😂 I never knew this! 👌 💯 😂
Major major Hit - #2 I think in 1968
Opinions are like A-Holes…everyone has one.
I hate this program I loved most of the bands and songs
I have a question. In the song "Brown Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison, he saw "you just the other day, my, how you have grown". Then he goes on with his memories of "making love behind the stadium to you, my BEG." But, she's GROWN since then?? How the he'll old WAS she back then if she's grown some. Creepy...
Oh, and ZZ Top's "Francine just turned 13, she's my answer to a teenage queen!"
Been there done that liked it
Btw, people don't like a song based on the lyrics; they're barely aware of them.
They like a song because of the music- the beat, melody, etc, or the harmonies or sound of a singer's voice. Most people couldn't give a sh-t about lyrics.
They were obviously loved by millions, if not me, or we wouldn't know them and be discussing them now. I've grown to where I don't ask whether I like a song (especially an oldie hit), but rather why did it work on anyone?
The only thing I hate here is YOU making this video. It started with the thumbnail: Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks and Deborah Harry representing a 'most hated' list??? So I clicked and watched, only to find that none of these actually were on the list. That is a good thing, 'cause they sure don't belong on one. So that was merely clickbait, and sure enough I fell for it. But neither of the others belong on this list either. YOU may not like them, but others do. In the end I even clicked a thumb down, and made this comment. So I guess you achieved all your goals with this one. Shame on you.
I loved most of these lol. C’mon, do u REALLY remember?? Bring back the 70’s and 80’s PLEASE! Some i wasn’t crazy about but one can’t like EVERYTHING.
Say what you want about the music of the 1960s, but people were more open-minded about trying different kinds of music.
On any given week, the Billboard charts were a mixed bag of rock, pop, instrumental, jazz, country, ballad, psychedelic, heavy metal, and on and on.
What other decade had a Top 40 list that contained both Frank Sinatra and psychedelic band Iron Butterfly?
I was almost 6 years old in early 1970 when Billboard announced that "Sugar, Sugar" was the number one song of 1969. My older brother threw a fit. Not even a mention, here? C'mon!
At about the time "Feelings" was popular, "The Gong Show" had an episode where all the contestants sang the song. Only the first contestant was allowed to finish, so he won the episode. When the celebrity judges realized what was happening, they gonged all the remaining contestants on their first note.
So I read the lead line, saw the thumbnail, knew what I was getting into..... but you'll not be forgiven for "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy", not ever!
Great vid.
Genesis surprised me a bit. "Batdance" was actually terrible, my wife hates it and she is a huge Prince fan. "Physical" was pretty cheesy, but ONJ will always be one of my faves; plus the video was pretty funny actually.
Some of these are my favorite songs! Not sure what that says about me? Or rather ... what does it say about the folks that compiled this list🙄!
Hey, Narrator..... give us a list of YOUR favorite songs so we can MOCK YOU. I mean, if you can dish it out surely you can take it, right?
The script for this video may go down in history as the most absurd this ever written in the English language.
Elvis once remarked if Harris had not recorded MacArthur Park, he would be in the studio recording the song.
I think Elvis would have nailed the song (and I'm a Beatles guy.)
Vedry entertaining. Maybe do a counterpart video for " Country " music in those same era's.
When the MacArthur Park song came on when me and my siblings were in the car we'd stay in it to sing along. Even as little kids we found the lyrics ridiculous, but still a great memory.
Physical was banned from release until Olivia NJ put out the video wearing workout clothing. The 70s high school kids loved the fact that the older generation played it. And everyone loved Olivia back then.
We all have opinions and should respect them. Even when they are used to get views on TH-cam. Lol
No
DUDE by chance do you ride side saddle!
Sounds like you are a little light in your loafers.
@rick5793, thanks for not mentioning his panties!! 😱 😉 😂
How about a 45 minute video on the gawd-awful horrible songs for the past ten years. Oh, wait, you're gonna have to do a entire series of 45-minute videos for that.
I love Don’t Worry Be Happy. The video is too funny.
You do know that Ringo Starr's version of "You're Sixteen" was a cover of the Johnny Burnett version from 1960, right? Written by the Sherman Brothers, it pretty much was par for the teenybopper love songs of the late 1950s and early 1960s. I'm certain that Ringo meant no harm in singing it, most likely he just thought it had a catchy tune and it probably brought back memories of his early days, so lay off. As for the delayed video, that was from his 1978 TV film 'Ringo' which was based on Mark Twain's 'Prince and the Pauper' and Ringo played himself and his lookalike 'Ognir Rrats' Art Carney played Ognir's dad and Carrie Fisher played his girlfriend, who was in the 'video' and was being sung to. If you didn't actually live in this time and didn't see this when it first came out, and didn't bother to research anything, then don't make snide condescending pronouncements about things you don't know shit about.
I grew up listening to the Osmond’s and of course had a crush on Donny, still do lol. I don’t think it’s fair to say they were hated. Just because they were a clean cut wholesome band? They’re a very talented family and had many hits. I met Donny 40 years ago along with Marie. He signed my 45 of Puppy Love and was the nicest guy to talk to. I’ve never heard anyone say the Osmond’s were hated. And so many others on this list shouldn’t be on here. These songs bring back some of the best memories of my childhood and teen years. Those songs were way better than most songs today. All the cussing through hard core rap? I’ll take the 60’s and 70’s again
Wow you went straight to Dei huh?
Two other bad 70's song that you forgot was the Terry Jacks hit "Seasons in the Sun." It's probably the origin of Emo rock. His voice is very whiny too. Another one is the Minnie Ripperton tune "Lovin' You." Another sappy 70's tune, one critic at the time stated that at time it sounded like she was trying to simulate the sound a cat would make while being strangled. Sadly, this made it to #1 in 1974.
This is a stupid way to kill time…🙄….and I’ll never get this time back.
Did I like all of these songs when they came out? No.
But then I’m not a TH-camr trying to make money while whining about the pathetic nature of past popular culture music.
Note; you should take a look at some of the crap that comes out now.
Definitely NOT subscribing.
Dude, you want to show top hated songs but you don’t play any of them. Not even a little good. Play at least 15/20 seconds of them. That’s pathetic man. Get it right so you can get descent comments
Where to start? 1) You had to be there. This sounds like a most hated list by someone who didn't live through these decades. Not surprising as it sounds like a copy of many similar TH-cam videos with many of the same songs - also by people who didn't live through these decades. Yes some fans didn't like "Revolution #9" for example but many others, such as my friends and I, found it one of the most interesting songs on an album that was full of filler songs. Also we listened to it over and over as we had to wait for the next Beatle release. We did not have the luxury of sitting down and listening to the entire Beatles catalogue at one time. Also bitching about "We Built This City" now ignores the fact that the B side had empty space where the local DJ could adlib the sections about their own city. It was fun listening to local DJ's trying to fill in your city. Now we just hear the pop single version. 2) Popular yet hated? If a song sold hundreds of thousands of copies at the time then clearly it wasn't hated by many. The fact that decades later we don't want to hear Girl or Physical is a reflection of both our changing times and not a reflection on the song or band when it was popular. 3) Overplayed. The reason that many of the 60's-80's songs are disliked by the current generation is that we've overplayed them to death. If I never hear another song from those decades then I'd be okay for that. If Directors would just stop using music from the last century in movies and tv shows. 4) Pop v.s. Rock v.s. Novelty. When you make this type of video, if you jump through various music genera then you are going to get poor reactions. Placing innocuous music like the Carpenters with novelty songs like Disco Duck with attempts at avante garde like Revolution #9 is just an easy and sloppy way of throwing together a video. 5) Old Stories. Like other videos, it falls back on old stories that don't matter anymore like the Monkees being a manufactured band. Of course they were and they fully agree having sung "Hey, hey we are the Monkees, you know we like to please, we're a manufactured image, with no philosophies..... You say we're manufactured. To that we all agree. So make your choice and we'll rejoice and never be free. Hey Hey we are the Monkees, We've said it all before. The money's in. We're made of tin. We're here to give you more." Many groups were manufactured such as obvious ones such as The Partridge Family but even groups like the Sex Pistols and Culture Club. To create this type of list you need to stick within a category of music or select criteria that can be used across categories.
I don’t agree with your opinions !!!😡
Calling Prince out? Batdance was shit, but at the time it was released, there was soooo much sampling going on; so Prince just sampled and sequenced himself... that was pretty ballsy of the guy and guess what?
People bought it, so who is the fool, the fool who creates the product, or the fool who buys it?
Aww, leave the Captain and Tenille alone. It was a sweet little song.
I remember 'Henry the VIII' by Herman's Hermits. drove me crazy. My sister played it over and over, I thought she was trying to torment me, but, no- it was just the only record she had
Dead Man's Curve song... Herman's Hermits group..
I always liked The Buggles. Plus Mickey (Toni Basil) had one of the greatest lines ever to slip past the top 40 radio censors. "I'll do it any way you want. I'll take it like a man".
All I got out of this is how screwed up perceptions are today. With a raciest here and there added in.
The 1960's and early 70's was really a different world. We didn't find hate everywhere like we do today. We didn't get all worked up over nothing like we do today. About the only thing we hated back then was the stupid War. We laughed at Tiny Tim and sure as hell didn't mind hearing it and there was a radio station called Dr. Demento that loved to play the crazy songs like "Their Coming to Take Me Away" and I'm looking over, my Dead dog Rover who I hit with a power mower" along with some Weird Al stuff.
Maybe we were all too stoned to let anything bother us and just get a laugh out of it.
In a way your reasons for bashing what was fun is part of what is going wrong with everything today and it's really sad.
