This is definitely, indisputably,worst song from this artist

[tommy]

Sorry Ello, Hooray is literally unlistenable.

[Ello Sailor]

Unreal.

It has some redeeming qualities, but it is mostly laughably ridiculous. It's funny to imagine our own badass street thug Ellen jamming to this tune, among many other SP songs. Our own lovable loser street thugclown .

[Ello Sailor]

Well god damn. Who pissed in your 'tism cheerios this morning?

[tree_]

I'm in a good mood! I'm just giddy at the picture of you jamming to this song and was perhaps struggling to find the correct words to describe it. Not at your expense, I hope.

Dude when I was deep diving into SP a little while ago I really gave this song a more than fair chance and for a minute, I could see a glimmer of gold, as I said, but jee wiz sometimes it's just too silly and weird. Billy has lost his way, in general I think, for quite some time. But as I say there is some gold sprinkled throughout it all. Good on you for being such a loyal fan to smell the flowers through all the poop, sincerely.

[Jorge]

Ok guys, im sorry but hear this thing!

HAHAHAHA

I'd never heard this before

Amazing

[Ello Sailor]

Amazing

Lock 'er up.

I have to say the last album is quite good once you pass that thing

I always hated "Charmer"

Plus they've probably put out worse songs since SoF. How could they not have? They had, like, 3 bad albums in a row!

This thread really shut down after the Hooray! debacle.

well, it really can’t get much worse than that, at least from a major artist with a lot of cache, so..

A rare instance where RM would prefer to focus on the positive. The "best song" thread is doing serious numbers.

It's really not that bad when you consider the context. Hooray! is basically a bizarro, showtunes-inspired ditty that, in the "story", is performed by automatons in a long-abandoned amusement park. It's basically a skit! Of course it's ridiculous!

"Knights of Malta" is Billy trying to deliver something poignant and grandiose in earnest. The execution is hilariously poor, and the "ohhhweweweweww wewwww" part is unforgivable. But he's 100% serious.

Context matters.

Also Jorge called it amazing, so the rest of you can kick rocks.
