It's a Smack The Pony skit without the laughter track ironic, given that Rockstar is one of the most unintentionally hilarious songs of the last few years. And so it continues, for more than four horrifying minutes. 'The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap, we'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat'.

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars, and live in hilltop houses driving 15 cars,' Chad sings. With trademark Nickelback subtlety, Rockstar is about being a rock star. The B-52s' Love Shack has a full three seconds before it really gets going even some terrorist organisations offer some sort of tip-off. This sound of hell opening up offers the listener no safety zone in which to leap towards their radio's off switch in a slow-mo 'NOOOOOO!!!!!' fashion. Its most terrifying feature is in its first millisecond, in that Chad's vocals appear completely without warning. So, in case you are not aware of this song's charms, simply imagine a Nickelback song, but worse.

The fact that Rockstar has already spent over two months on the chart and is currently at No 3 also cements the theory that the worse a Chad Kroeger single is, the better it performs - this is in line with the Spider-Man soundtrack single Hero (fairly terrible) selling fewer copies than How You Remind Me (very terrible).

The worst Nickelback song of all time is, of course, their current hit, Rockstar. Some absolutes may never be pinpointed, but there is now finally an answer to one of pop's most enduring mysteries: what is Nickelback's worst song? The most ridiculous-looking pair of shorts. The most disgusting dish featuring kiwi fruit. The most disorganised live broadcast featuring Fearne Cotton. Now that the world isn't ending, It's love that I'm sending to you, It isn't the love of the hero, And that's why I fear it won't do.Īnd they say that a hero could save us, I'm not gonna stand here and wait, I'll hold on to the wings of the eagles, Watch as we all fly away.Seems like Chad and chums got their wish. Someone told me love would all save us, But how can that be, Look what love gave us, World full of killing, And blood-spilling, that world never came.Īnd they say that a hero could save us, I'm not gonna stand here and wait, I'll hold on to the wings of the eagles, Watch as we all fly away. Woah, no heaven, No heaven Don't hear me.Īnd they say that a hero could save us, I'm not gonna stand here and wait, I'll hold to the wings of the eagles, Watch as we all fly away.
