Show us your worst!

I posted this idea in the cave, but not everyone goes in there, so:

People generally put up their best songs for critiques. I want to see the worst you've ever done.

PM me with a link, and I will post it in the clinic. We can set it up with a poll so you can vote on the worst song.

Leave a message in this thread if you are interested, and PM me a link for submission.

Let's have some fun.

A couple rules to keep it fun:

1. No critiques on the mix
2. It has to be a song you put an honest effort into, it just turned out bad. Don't try to make a bad song just for this.

Other than that, let's see how foul we can get and not get charged for noise pollution!


EDIT: I took out the cover song rule. This is just for fun right?

Geeeze... I think I have a Zep cover (Battle of Evermore) that I played all the guitars and did all the vocals in an effort to try and convince our singer that we should pick it up as a filler cover duet thingy between the two of us for live gigs...
She had never heard the song (not even the wonderful Wilson sister's remake) so I tried to make it as sellable a demo as I could within the short time frame I had to record it...
It wasn't 'perfect' by any means, but I didn't sing off-key THAT much...

Did I?

I can still remember the look on her face as it was playing...

I'll see if I can find it...

My "good" stuff is pathetic as it is, the bad stuff is just... oh man.

For laughter's sake though, this is a song that kills a part of my soul every time I even think about it. Everything about it is terrible, especially the vocals. I basically wanted to try and make a full on metal song and failed so horribly that god will probably ban me from heaven for being such a horrible person.

Anyways yeah. It's fucking terrible. I can't believe I'm even posting it.

OK, I hope Rokket don't mind, cause this is his song - although the "worst" has nothing to do with him - I posted it it to the drummers site as a joke (I'm the webmaster of his site), but his computer is still down, so he still doesn't know

Ok, you asked for it. Here's one that I opened and almost immediately started back trying to fix...hehe.
I decided to just slap a big ctrl M on it and show you guys the amazing quality of the things I abandon. There was no hope for this song, ill concieved, no integrity...the lyrics are pathetic...well the ones that seem to be actually in place. It's a mess.
It's called "on to you"
http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/...d=4426&alid=-1

In fact I will use this nowhere page for these things...I'll keep adding some if anyone wants to see how shitty my attempts can be.

Stop me, I can go on all day.

Now you all know how I know crap so well when I hear it.
This stuff is sung out of key, bad intonation, timing, horrid mixes.

Anyhow, next time Jake-owa rips you a new asshole just listen to any of these and laugh your ass off.

I actually enjoyed the Floyd cover. But I've been listening to the demo reel off your website, Bruce, so I can see the distance you've come. One day I'll be competent!!
