The 10 Worst Christian Songs Ever Recorded
Christopher Robin
What with all the talk on here about the *best* Christian songs ever... how
about a list of the worst? (Okay, so I was in a sarcastic mood today).
:-)
1. "Special Delivery" - Evie
This one takes the cake as the most annoying song to ever come out of CCM.
Like "It's A Small World," this song has one of those melodies that you
just can't get out of your head after hearing it once. Ugh.
2. "Powder Room Politics" - Leslie Phillips
*This* is the reason Sam Phillips has rejected all of her CCM work--she
doesn't want anyone to know that this song actually existed. And to think
it was released in not one, but *two* radio versions. Ouch.
3. "The Champion" - Carman
The greatest event in the history of the universe--the salvation of man--is
reduced to a cosmic boxing match. Thankfully, Carman had the sense to
choose boxing over wrestling, but that's probably because Hulk Hogan
couldn't make it to the studio that day.
4. "You Can Make It" - Tammy Faye Bakker
The equivalent of fingernails scratching on a chalkboard. Of course,
that's true of any song Tammy attempts to "sing," but why split hairs? :-)
5. "God Good Devil Bad" - DeGarmo & Key
The absolute nadir of D&K's recording career. To think the same guys that
wrote the classic LP Straight On and created controversy with "666" could
sink to this juvenile writing level... well, it's just plain sad.
6. "Lifeboat" - Steve Taylor
Without the hilarious video, this song is just another annoying misfire in
the Taylor ouvre. Funny the first time you hear it, it's almost
unlistenable afterwards. Would have been better left on a Jeremiah People
album or something.
7. "Get Saved" - (i have no idea)
I don't know who recorded this song, but the rewritten version of Eric
Clapton's "Cocaine" is thoroughly embarrassing to listen to. What was the
point of this song anyway? To prove that we can "Christianize" everything?
And the screaming crowd approval only makes things worse.
8. "Playground" - Rez Band
From their Live Bootleg album, this is easily Wendi Kaiser's worst vocal
performance ever. Imagine Stevie Nicks on a bad day after a long drinking
binge (actually, that's not difficult), and this is pretty much what you
get. Wendi somehow managed to stay on key... though whatever key it was
isn't on any musical scale.
9. "Kingston Road" - The Choir
I hate to bag on my fave Christian band of all time, but this song gives me
the heebie-jeebies every time I hear it. It is so *obviously* a Charlie
Peacock song given to the band to record because of lack of material. The
Choir would never write something like this, and they certainly shouldn't
sing anything like this either.
10. Anything by the Rap-Sures
Terry Taylor was probably tied to a chair and forced to create this music
against his will, I'm convinced.
Okay, so I'm mean. Tee hee hee. :-)

And now you've reminded me and _I_ can't get it out of my head!!!
Aaaaaaaaaaaarrrggghhh!
Fortunately, my selective memory has obliterated details of the worst
songs. But does anyone remember a duo from the late 70's called "Micky and
Becky"? They had a song that belongs on this list. Again, thankfully, my
memory has failed, but I remember they had a song called "Love Song for
#2," or something in that vein. It was along the lines of "I love you, but
Jesus is the #1 love in my life..." Ack. Ick. Pthooey.
I'll also nominate any of the screeching, sappy, sickening Sandi(y?)
Patti(y?) / Larnelle Harris duets. I remember when I was a kid one of
these was played on WEMI, the local xian station, about once every fifteen
minutes. We'd all make a dive for the stereo to turn it off. I must say,
though, they did bring our family together. These duets (OK, Sandi(y?)
Patti(y?) in general) were pretty much the only things that I agreed about
with my parents.
Chris.
...special delivery, wrapped up in love...sent from
above...aaaaaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhh!!!!!!

definitely the worst-spelled title.

And after her movie debut in "Die Hard with a vengeance", she should
start a whole new direction with "Butcher shop serenade" or something. :-)
(No offense Sam, wherever you are. It's just one of those songs that
fit a moment...somewhere.)

Now...I don't know about that one. It's actually always been one of
my favorites in a way. If we start throwing out songs that use fragmented
analogies, we're going to wind up being mostly a praise group again.

Can you believe they put the album in the showcase of one or the research
labs where I used to work? Perhaps they played it to stimulate cell
evolution or something. (PLEASE GOD! HELP ME TO EVOLVE INTO SOMETHING

Charlie is great in concert. I don't think anyone else should try to
be him, or let him produce them. Just my opinion. If you're there
charlie, I don't think it's you man. :-)

Oh C'mon now the "old testament rap"? You can't go wrong with a title
like that...can you? :-) I did one at least that bad called the
"reynold's rap", but I couldn't get permission to use it. The lord
works in mysterious ways....so why did he let Terry release that?

It may not be quintessential Choir, but that doesn't make it worthy
of the ten worst. Let's replace it with "Friends".

No, you missed the entire point of it all! The point was to HAVE FUN.
The record was recorded by "Bobby Dee and the Scam" (basically, Bob
DeMoss) with special guest vocals by (believe it or not) James Ward. The
screaming crowd noise was a church youth group (friends of mine, as a
matter of fact).
It was a *NOVELTY* record. The flip-side of the single was one of those
"interview" type recordings which several people did late-70s/early 80s.
The interviewer asked questions and the answers were snippets from popular
songs. (In this case, the interview was with Jonah and the songs were all
CCM tunes.)

The group was Say What. And I thought that song was SO FUNNY! IMO, you can't
put a song like that on this kinda list, cause you're not supposed to take it

Yeah, I've never been all that insulted by "The Champion." It _was_
done with good intentions, after all, and Carman has done far worse
songs since.

The group was "Say What?" and the album was _Fresh Fish_, IIRC.

That song was a joke, though. Yeah, it was horrible, but at least somewhat
intentionally so...

Yep. If you're going to pick a Carman song that reduces the sublime
to the ridiculous, you've got to pick "This Blood's For You."

Are you sure? The name of the group that did "I Can Sing Higher" was
Say What? or somesuch. Unless that's yet another alias, it wasn't
the Rap-Shures...

I'm rather fond of the video in which East Side Jesus gets beaten up and
thrown into a dumpster, only to climb out of the dumpster three days
later amidst smoke and lightning to have a knife-wielding showdown with
West Side Satan.
And the one where herbal tea is denounced as being occult.
And the one where Carman is a school cop.
Man, I love Carman.
What time is the TBN show on? I've only caught it a few times.

*snap*....where am I? Oh, here again. Ok, but seriously, I'm surprised I
haven't seen anything by
The Archers, during their disco phase. If you can get past the cover....
Leon patillo- "Love around the world". Winner in the "Most incessent use
of the word 'magic' on a ccm album date" award.
One Bad Pig- Taking lyric grinding to a new level. Gotta love the spirit though.
Brent Lamb- Never seen that many corny cliche's on one lp
Saint- How bad can bad get? I've raved about them before, re: songs like
"welcome to the abyss". I'm trying to imagine the audience....
Amy Fletcher- Duet with Doug Oldham....I picked up the needle when he
came in with "Amy, I maaayyyy be an old mannnn,..."
Well, in ways, most bands have had their moments, just like all of us
do in this life. I'm trying to picture myself doing something that bad...
in a studio....paying money for it and everything.....Except One bad pig
and the archers. I can kind of understand those within altered frameworks.
And....let's not forget
Carman- a truly great artist in my opinion,...but he's had some pretty
bad moments. It's funny. Some times certain songs have touched
me and other times they make me nausious. What a guy.
Petra- rough start on that first album....then on to "computer brains". Then
the overall slop together form of a lot of their songs after the
loss of Volz. (Not that this was the factor, as other things happened
in there).

Fond memories time. In a campus crusade thing, the old lead singer
from the Brethren and this girl who had a complex about her weight (which
really was pretty average) were talking about Sandi Patti, and Ken referred
to her as Sandi Fatty. The girl got VERY upset with him and after a few
rakings, the old leader of the group came over (a very dear brother who
died of a brain tumor a couple years ago) and said "Hey guys' what's up?"
Ken said, ohhh, we're just talking about stuff like...Sandi Patti. Dave
said "Oh, you mean Sandi Fatty?" The girl threw her hands up in rage and
stormed off as Dave stood there clueless.
Anyway, I liked her pink album fairly well actually. Most of the rest
of her stuff was pretty boring to me. I hated everything I heard after
it. Sort of liked some of the older stuff. I was young and naive. -Bob

Friday's actually a double-feature. Bob Larson comes on right before
Carman! And at 11:00, Josh McDowell and Jeff Fenholt.

Ah, so your issue is with _Evidence that Demands a Verdict_ and such,
then. McDowell as apologist. FWIW, that isn't exactly what I
meant by "off the deep end." That is to say that while I'm not a
fan of bad scholarship, it's a different sort of thing from the stuff
that I disagree with Fenholt, Carman, etc. about. Bad scholarship
doesn't contradict scripture (by which I do *not* mean that the Bible
says such things don't matter, but that you can't make an argument
*from scripture* concerning one school of thought on textual criticism
vs another). Health/wealth, some of the stuff wrt spiritual warfare
and all that do.
You'll understand, of course, if I don't just take your word on McDowell's
approach to apologetics?

Oh man, does THAT bring up some memories!
Several years ago, i was going through many large boxes of misc. tapes
and happened upon one of those interview styled scenarios I did in 6th
or 7th grade. it must have been late '79 or early '80 because the topic
was Ronald Reagan just getting elected president and a myself and a
friend of mine did this fake "Face The Nation" thing. It was so funny
to hear our pre-pubescent voices trying to do the low grown-up
voices... "Today on face the Nation..." We would ask questions and the
president would respond with snippets from songs (The Eagles, AC/DC,
Wings, Frampton, Journey, Rush). It was SO funny to listen to 15 years
or so later. maybe I should try and scrounge it up again and include it
on our next CD...

Ummmm... so why is that still in the shallow end? If McDowell is gonna
apologist all over the floor, he should make an effort to combine
good scriptural basis *and* good scholarship. Else, he dirties the floor
and the faith. I don't think we should accept that.
Me, I have other reasons for disliking McDowell, not the least of which
being (as I recall) an unreadably low estimation of his audience's
reading level and an utter lack of depth, but would rather not discuss
them at present.

With Josh, as with anyone, I think it's good to take an approach
which says "Ok, he didn't found his reasoning real well there, but
what was the intent? I think the guy means well, and has used that
intent to convey some very viable truths. Sometimes...maybe he
doesn't "underestimate" his audience, but rather tries to make it
so everyone can follow.
It's a tough gig when you get into some of the positions he's
been in. What do you address and who when you are in a mixed
crowd of kids and parents at JNW or wherever, talking between
groups whose overall depth is....not all that great either I
might add. Petra, during the tours he accompanied, did not write
stuff that was all that deep. "Ohh, I'm on..Fiii-re! Got a flame
burnin' in my soul". C'mon folks. Can you say "Cheer-leaders"?
Petra's concerts were so fluff oriented in those years...and
sadly those are about the only times I got (had?) to see them live.
Anyway, HERE is a scripture I think we can apply. The bible
says we will be judged for every word we speak. So who here can
say they have been 100%....90%....33%?....1.7% faithful in saying
what the spirit is leading? Each little situation we are in is
equally important to God. How can we make our words a sweet song
in his ear, as we sing?
I mean it's kind of fun to think about why we do/don't like
certain things, but here we're getting in a kind of "global rag-on
a guys ministry without knowing all the details" mode. IF someone
knows something specific Josh has said that isn't in keeping with
the truth, and he's been confronted and isn't willing to back down,
by all means tell everyone. But....let's not follow Jason's lead
in tearing down a guy who might be doing his best...a Jason who
tears down people who die because they supposedly weren't wearing
their seatbelt (Gee, maybe the belt failed? Who knows? If he makes
those kinds of presumptions about his wife, he won't HAVE to worry
about being faithful to her. :-) ), which even if true certainly
still gains him the dork of the year award in all catagories. Kill

In short, his scholarship is extremely shoddy. You know how Carman
and his mentor David Barton play fast-and-loose with American history?
Well, McDowell does the same thing with archaeology, textual
criticism, and just about every other subject he touches.

*Shrug* That's cool.
Just because McDowell makes my list of "Fun things to watch on TBN"
doesn't necessarily mean he has to make yours.

Hey, I watch this stuff for entertainment value. Whether or not they
contradict the Bible doesn't really figure into it. When I'm sitting
in my den on a Friday night, knocking down boilermakers with my pals,
I just want someone ranting on my TV to provide background.
While Josh McDowell isn't as pretentious as Fenholt, as slimy as
Larson, or as cheesy as Carman, he does pretty well combining a little
bit of each. His apologetics are poor enough that even a bunch of
drunk heathens can refute 'em easily, and his lectures on sex are
particularly amusing. That doesn't even begin to cover things like
his slack-jawed audience or the low production values. (Carman's show
is actually pretty slick. The material aside, I'd put it up there
with some of the stuff on VH-1.)
> You'll understand, of course, if I don't just take your word on
> McDowell's approach to apologetics?
Do whatcha' like. Just don't try to invoke McDowell as an authority
to anyone who actually knows what they're talking about if you value
their opinion of you.

I'm quite happy to dis the house. Musically they seemed to lack an
inherent insanity that was present in a lot of Split Enz music.
There was another band of Enz outcasts called _Schnell Fenster_
that put out a couple of albums that captured that sense of insanity
albeit a little more pronounced, having lost the stabilising
influence of the House dudes. Their [Schnell Fenster's] album, _The
Sound of Trees_, is one of my better memories from the eighties, and
i think I actually prefer it to quite a bit of Enz material.
In a sense, I guess that House didn't really work for me at all.
The only album of theirs that I liked was Woodface, but then IIRC,
that was the main one Tim worked on.

Just read "Right from Wrong" a couple months ago. Which was supposedly
an interpretation of an extensive survey conducted among "churched youth"
about their beliefs and activities. The survey itself (and he was kind
enough to reproduce the entire survey at the back of the book -- the
survey questions, the responses broken down by category, etc.) seemed to
be fairly well done -- nothing that looked like it would receive skewed
or biased answers. But then Josh felt the need to twist the data into
his own opinions. Even when he made a good point, he'd weaken his
position by trying to back it up with the questionable conclusions he
drew from the survey. After seeing him misuse the data by twisting it
around or drawing conclusions that weren't supported enough times, it
was tough reading anything at all he was trying to say. Certainly, it
made the media's frequent misuse of survey results pale in comparison.

me neither. Although I do have most of Tim's solo stuff. Which I quite
like. I suppose this means I just don't go for any of Neil's stuff at
all given that the only CH album I liked was when Tim was with them.

Well one could argue that Split Enz were almost a religion in New
Zealand...still we're at least talking music :-)

Well, even in the Enz we're talking songs like I Got You, One Step Ahead,
I Walk Away... tending more to anthemic than balladic, to my mind. Strait
Old Line and Message to my Girl (especially) are just *beautiful*, riding
there with his brother's best like I Hope I Never, Charlie, Poor Boy...
Ladies and gentlemen, these two ARE the Lennon/Macca of the Southern
Hemisphere...

It is pretty bad. :) Just listening to "My God" or "That's Life" or whatever
that song whose title ends with "Life" is painful. "P.D.A." too.

Well said, Cheef Dan. That record WAS A BLAST! If "Get Saved" was "thoroughly embarrassing" I wonder how it ended up on the CCM Magazine Rock Chart at #7. Just sayin . . . no accounting for taste, eh? Years later the Apologetics mimicked what Bobby Dee had done and created album after album of parody songs. Maybe Bobby Dee and the Scam was on to something after all!
