Wow. That's a lot of 'worst' songs!
It's a shame you have bonded with his latest material.

I love threads like this, so interesting to see the many and varied opinions

Interesting to see that generally no-one (though I've not re-read the entire thread) has picked songs from Bats I or II.

I absolutely agree about the varied opinions . Funny you mention that about Bat I and II. Personally I don't like to using the words "worst songs" ... it just doesn't sound right I prefer using the words "least favorite songs" and can honestly say that I really love the way Meat sings the songs from Bat I and Bat II now better than the original records. And I really love all of the songs from CHSIB, HCTB and HIAHB Different strokes for different folks !

I know every other Meat fan will disagree with me, but I am not a fan of You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth. I don't know why but I have always tended to skip it when listening to Bat. I also can't listen to most of MATLAF which perhaps isn't such a surprise.

I think You Took The Words is a great song but it's just so overplayed - don't think I've ever seen a show without it done live - so if anything I would skip it because I've heard it enough.

Gonna go back through this thread and see if I posted already, wonder what I picked!!

I think meat has stated TTW is his least favorite song off bat. so I beleive he does it cause its a crowd pleaser and it gives hi man excuse to interact with everyone.

He stated that around the release of Midnight At The Lost And Found, so his views could have changed since then.

I must say, all his songs are great, some not as great as others, but the one that I really don't understand, or even understand why he wrote it is, In the Land of the Pigs, The Butcher is King

I'd have to agree with you there Lucy! When good songs like that come out, radio stations just flog the shit out of them, and then you simply get sick of hearing them and tend to hit fast forward just to not listen to it again

It makes it interesting and it is great to see what everyone's opinion is and how our taste in Meat's music varies:)

Jim Steinman originally wrote it as part of his Batman musical. It was to be sung by the leaders of Gotham City and directed at the poor. I don't think Jim ever intended for it to be on Bat 3, but it was in a bunch of demos that he sent to Meat and Meat liked it.

I thought it was supposed to be sung by the Penguin as he looked apon the people "below him" such as the prostitutes, poor, and middle class pedestrians.

I heard it was the City Leaders or corrupt police officers.

It sounds a lot more like that on the other version:

I love this, if they (whoever "they" are) were to resurrect it into a musical, how awesome would this be on stage?

Agreed, that sucks. Would probably work well in a musical on the stage though if i hadn't heard it before. But it sucks compared to Meats version.

I don't have a "worst" recording per se

I do however have some songs in my mind that the production/arrangement of were not as good as Meat's voice deserved and therefore make me annoyed to some extent when I hear them.

Strangely enough the greatest collection of these can be found on TMIL especially ITLOTP & BFG, Sorry but Child massacred what were amazing Steinman songs whereas Alive I think is a standout song from any album.

If you're talking about "he" as being Jim Steinman...Then Ok. Steinman wrote that song and it is def my least favorite. Pigs scare me.

Break It was my least favorite until I saw Meat perform it live Sept. 1, 2011 in Joliet, IL.

It's hard to determine "wost" song and I personally think it should be stricken from this thread. As Vicki said "least favorite." An artist will can not please everyone, including himself. With that being said, there are a few songs I would consider my least favorite, such as some of the early stuff. Alghough, Meat's vocals were "on", the song wasn't the best of some compositions.

For the purpose of this thread, I'm going with my two least favs are the scarey pig song and Break it...Still.

I don't get why some people are offended by the word "worst" when every singer in history has bad song's including Meat. That just makes no since to me, Meat has even said he's done some shitty songs.

I suppose we don't want to be offensive.
But, by definition if you are choosing your 'best' songs at the top of a list of a hundred or so songs then the ones at the bottom are the 'worst' !!
