Question: Is Fergie's "London Bridge" the worst popular song ever?

Except for Bridge Over Trouble Water and Under the Bridge, I haven't heard a single song mentioned in this thread.

 

I haven't heard this song, and I hope I never do. I can't believe this woman has a SOLO album, considering nothing she's done with the Black Eyed Peas would suggest she has the chops to go solo. She might have been better off singing the nursery-rhyme "London Bridge" rather than what sounds like a real piece of crap.

Maybe this makes me sound like an old man, but is there ANY new music that's A) popular and B) worth listening to? I find myself thinking songs like "She Blinded Me With Science" and "Come On, Eileen" sound like stuff from "Abbey Road" and "Dark Side of the Moon" compared to some of the more contemporary shit.

 

Maybe Fergie would like Harrison Ford.

 

Sorry to bring this thread back to life, but since the Great Crash of August 2006, I decided to listen to "Stars Are Blind" to compare it to "London Bridge." Research, you know. You ought to be thorough when bashing something.

Upon hearing Paris Hilton's foray into music ... I'm sorry, but anyone who puts that song above Fergie is crazy. I just can't buy one line from that song, I can't close my eyes and believe she's that person. There's no conviction. "London Bridge" might not be the best song, but it trumps Paris. Easily. I would take Clubber Slang's impromptu graphic from his previous post and swap the two with no hesitation.

 

Here I go after my book again ...

The biggest No. 1 cock block was when Olivia Newton-John's "Physical" kept Foreigner's "Waiting For A Girl Like You" at No. 2 for 10 weeks in 1981-82.

 

Yeah, Bat, but Physical inspired the great halftime show during a Simpsons episode with Pac-Man and Mrs. Pac-Man grinding against each other. Quality.

 

Perhaps. But you can and do kill hookers and firebomb dance clubs in GTA: Vice City with Foreigner playing in your stolen car. Advantage -- Foreigner.

 

to answer the question originally posed, yes.

 

Sadly, Meat, whenever I hear REO Speedwagon's "Keep on Loving You," all I can think about is the Phnom Penh '86 mission in Vice City and blowing people's heads off with an automatic weapon from a helicopter.

 

Am I the only one who thinks Fergie looks a lot like Kristen Johnson, the tall, leggy blonde from Third Rock from the Sun?

 

I don't see it.

 

I thought she looks like a poor man's Kirstie Alley.

FYI, they used to play Hollaback Girl on repeat in our local farm team's clubhouse.
