SteveK Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 I think bubinga5 is being a little unfair, as Star Trekkin' is a novelty record, and as such, is not meant to break any musical ground However, this record (as opposed to the song, which I don't have a problem with) with all its straight-faced melodrama qualifies it as the worst record of all time - bar none!

T-Bay Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 [quote name='Cato' timestamp='1485115702' post='3221276'] Which version? While I agree that this one is pretty awful http://youtu.be/VcDy8HEg1QY There's a certain energy about this version. http://youtu.be/IZvpHwoQfqk [/quote] It is even worse, it seems to be relying on the crowd looking at the girls and ignoring the utter pap being played. Very sad. Quote
timmo Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 I still can't understand how Wham ever became so popular. Any of their songs would be able to comfortably sit alongside Star Trekkin in athe novelty section Quote
upside downer Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 A chart hit from 1992. They did play it on the radio quite a lot. I threw a lot of radios at the wall. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqD1OohY2to Quote

Very sad. [/quote] Fair enough. It was the best traditional version of the song I could find on YouTube. The others all seem to be instrumentals or dodgy recordings of scratchy old vinyl. Quote

Cato Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 This has to be a contender. Rod Stewart fans look away now... http://youtu.be/Z6aVZDzeHnw Quote

It's even worse the second time... 80's big-ballad production? Check. Pointless, cheesy nylon-string noodling? Check. Angsty monochrome video? Check. Are we 100% sure it's not a parody..? EDIT: Oh, and the band are called 'Disturbed' as well. Bless. Quote
