When I released my blog of “The Worst Music Video Ever” (7/29), I was immediately inundated with a slew of other candidates.
All of them worthy…or unworthy, if you get my drift.
Most were homemade videos of horrible singers, combined with inferior video and a lousy sound quality.
My criteria for qualifying was that the video be a real attempt to craft something that would appeal to consumers. A real, “professional” singer or act. Someone who actually MEANT for their production to be viewed and enjoyed, unaware that the enjoyment was based in ridicule.
Enter Steklovata.
I think they’re Swedish…and I have to credit YouTube for sending them to my computer. Knowing I had searched under “Worst Music Video Ever” to come up with my July blog, the inanimate computer algorithm at YouTube headquarters somehow knew that THIS one would make me laugh out loud.
Hope you enjoy it:

From the bad teeth to the gawky movements and snappy outfits—to the cutting-edge graphics behind these superstars, it’s clear that this is an award-winner. I’m only grateful that I cannot understand what the hell they are singing about!
As someone wise but anonymous once said: “Fashions come and fashions go, but bad taste is timeless”
How true.
