This song could be so awesome, if it weren't for the lyrics. And usually I can ignore lyrics for a really kickass riff. But they are just so dumb in this song that I can't.
Another stupid song. In fact it's so stupid most people have probably never payed attention to what an insane bass line it has
The lyrics are quite as stupid as "Strut"....but man are they close
Holy shit the footloose bassline is actually pretty sick. That walking part is pretty sweet. This isn't a terrible song @ all but I always thought the smoke on the water bassline in the rest of the song where he isn't chugging roots is actually really damn cool and no one ever mentions it.
As far as terrible songs with cool parts the below one has a great bassline and its truly a terrible song.

That butterfly song is actually sampled from a Chili Peppers song
"Black Betty" by Ram Jam
"Hocus Pocus" by Focus
Always thought the intro to this one was cool, but didn't at all fit the song.
Life's too short.
heh. awww. all my favorite songs.
I think long cool woman is one of the coolest songs ever written, the whole thing
hocus pocus is a gadget song for sure. you need to watch a video. those guys are funny and seriously talented, and it is totally in fun when you see it.
black betty is an old song they covered. the ramjam version is a hard drivin' song. that tone is great on the lead guitar.
so I do actually like those 3 songs
the rest, meh.
also when hocus pocus happens, the safety dance has to also happen.
....they're a set.
Long cool woman is a pretty kick ass song
I've heard Long Cool Woman about 5,000 times. I have no idea what any of the lyrics are. Will Google...

Thats hilarious I didn't know that. On second listen you can tell its Flea by the tone really sorry. But it truly is a terrible song with a cool part.

the chili peppers are 4th behind the beatles, u2 and dave matthews.
i wish you would replace the beatles with the eagles, then that would totally look like my list
A totally retarded song from an otherwise cool record
This has one of the dumbest choruses ever but it's still pretty catchy
I always wondered whatever the hell possessed Mekong Delta with this totally out-of-place chorus ???
^ it does make you wonder what was happening. I suspect 2nd choices to fill an album due to running out of time or motivation to keep on writing, but maybe they liked it.
IDK if it rates as being better or worse, but here is another version of black betty. it is less complex, but plenty of energy. also the video is most excellent. I could watch this 1000 times and still laugh at that deer laughing
also...the twins .....
What's wrong with "Her Strut"? Song about strippers (I don't know all the lyrics). Need clarification.

I'm ok with dumb lyrics...but the one's in that one are just so damn dumb that I can't get past them
I hereby heartily reccommend Living Death's Vengeance Of Hell LP :D
Gonna catch a lot of flack for this, but the guitar lick in Party in the USA is pretty slick
Apparently the producer is actually a rock fan and decent guitarist, so he threw in this lick and it was the base of the song. something along those lines. Shes brutally shit though
Got :45 through that song and was like... "Yeahhhhhh. This sucks."
I stopped at :21, but I can understand why you may like that guitar part.
My choice is Whale, Hobo Humpin Slobo Babe. I actually kinda liked the song, but many on here will hate it.
I like the main bass riff that drives the song. Pretty cool.
I've tried five times and can't get the Youtube link. Sorry.
After pasting the URL, delete the S from the HTTPS. That's the secret!
I remember that song because MTV used to play it.
^ I still love her.
I think a lot of Southern Gun Culture songs fall into this category haha ugh ;)

Ha, I remember that being on Beavis and Butthead.
I love that song.
Take the violins and vocals out of this piece of shit and it's pretty rad.
But, that begs the question... Is that video worse than this one?
Maybe the two worst videos ever. The second one made me hate Journey forever... I told the DJ at my wedding that if he played Journey he wasn't getting paid.
if Brant Bjork drummed on this instead it would be badass lol
Love the riffs but everything else is sorta meh.
