The Social Centre - November 2006

The Worst Songs Ever

Push the little daisies – Ween: cringe worthy singing, stupid lyrics and annoying music. This song is so bad that it causes illness.

Vanilla Ice
Too cold

Ice Ice Baby - Vanilla Ice: This song is so bad that it’s one of the most popular and recognisable songs ever. Somehow this song has reached the point of being so incredibly bad, that people like it…strange.









Teenage Dirtbag – Wheatus: Apparently Wheatus are fans of Iron Maiden. If Iron Maiden ever spotted Wheatus’ whiny, little worm of a lead singer at a gig, they would probably walk off in disgust.

Right Said Fred – I’m too sexy : No your not, you’re a one hit wonder with a song that makes you UNsexy.

Sandi Thom
Boooooo!!

I Wish I was a Punk Rocker (with flowers in my hair) – Sandi Thom: A protest song that doesn’t really protest anything…maybe the lack of time travel technology. A bad song which tries to be meaningful, but ends up being plainly annoying.











Achy Breaky Heart - Billy Ray Cyrus: Mullet-heads rejoiced and music-lovers wept with the release of this song. Line dancing and country music are not cool, and this song sucks.


All for Love – Bryan Adams, Sting and Rod Stewart: Hammy, cheesy and crap all at the same time. Sting should know better than to hang out with those chumps.

Rush – Big Audio Dynamite: Retarded singing and weird noises. This song sounds like it was made by a demented nerd in a basement somewhere in the suburbs.

Baha Men
Who let the crap songs out?

Who let the dogs out? – Baha Men: Possibly the most annoying song ever made. Still heard in movies and TV ads, unfortunately, this song won’t die. It’s probably a zombie song.









The Hamster Dance – What the hell?

Macarena - Los Del Rio: A stupid dance with a stupid song sung by two stupid old men.

Good Times – Tommy Lee: what the hell happened Tommy? You’d have to knock out another 50 photographers now in order to restore some respect.

Eiffel 65
Evil, evil people

Blue – Eiffel 65: Very much akin to ‘who let the dogs out’, excruciatingly stupid, and incredibly painful to listen to.









Do ya think im sexy? - Rod Stewart: no.

Three Times a Lady – Lionel Richie & the Commodores : More of a dull, soppy lullaby than anything musically credible. And what does it mean to be ‘once, twice, three times a lady’? Does he have to check several times to make sure?


Paris Hilton
Go be talentless and stupid elsewhere


Also included:
- Any song by Paris Hilton
- Any song by a boyband
- Any song classified as ‘pop’
- Any song in the contemporary RnB/pop genre
- Any song by an Idol contestant

Sheik Alhilali on 60 Minutes

Television is ideally a secular forum of debate. The portrayal of religious identity is often a touchy issue in Western media. We find Western news outlets such as FOX and CNN accusing the likes of Al Jazeera as possessing a strict Muslim agenda, and that the network distorts the reporting of news to incite fundamentalist Muslim attitudes.

The hypocrisy is all too evident in such beliefs, as the media all to often confuses ‘Western values’ with ‘Christian values’, for instance, where does marriage come into capitalist Democracy? Nowhere, but the construction of ‘the other’ is what is so important to western media – especially when talking about the Muslim faith

Reality TV

It’s 7:30 pm and you collapse into the safe comfort of your recliner. You fumble a remote control in your hands whilst you point it at a glass box in front of you. Before long, you are confronted with fat people jumping up and down whilst being shouted at, bored young things sitting around a house talking about toenails, hairy guys with bandanas eating rice on some island, c-grade celebrities dancing around, or falling about on ice, a bunch of kids screwing up classic songs or some other headache-inducing garbage.

Or even worse, tune into MTV and see people invading other people’s houses with blacklights or spoilt, bratty teenage girls whining because the pure cut diamond laced, crystal punch bowl on order is running late for their super-sweet 16th party. There are even white people turning black for a few days. If I hear an American say “Oh my God!” one more time, I will headbutt my way through a brick wall. It’s painful to watch

On the Melbourne Cup....

Just why does The Melbourne Cup “stop the nation?”

Why is it that for about one week of every year, we all forget that horse racing is a bland, boring, stupid sport, and get all excited about the Melbourne Cup

The Greatest Protest Song Ever?

Midnight Oil raised an interesting point upon receiving their induction into the hall of fame. The style of protest music from which the Oils drew their massive success, is lacking in today’s music scene.

That is a slightly contentious statement. Yes the popular music industry is saturated with meaningless, pre-packaged commercial crud, BUT, even when Peter Garrett was spasming on stage, spouting this and that about how his bed is on fire (which probably explains the dance moves) there was still a steaming pile of claptrap pop music that dominated the music charts

Sentimentally Speaking

Sentimentality is a strange quality in people. On the one hand, there are those who will refuse to part with any material good they own – no matter how old, mouldy or moth bitten it is.

Then there are those who will readily discard of any given item that fails to appease their whim at that certain point in time. There is no consideration of later uses – don’t need it now, don’t need it ever

The Glasshouse, Chaser and the Democratic Myth

The recent decision by the ABC to axe the popular satire/chat show The Glasshouse has coincided neatly with the the new cross-media ownership laws.

The sheer popularity of the show and it's notoriety among politicians led to the Prime Minister himself having to deny being a part of the program's demise
