Leprechaun In Tha Hood (2000)

The Soundtrack: Really, were you expecting this to be good? Here we get a selection of songs all sung by A.T. Montgomery, who also starred in the film.

Worst Song: Worst of the lot is easily ‘Lep in the Hood’, rapped by Warwick Davis – the Leprechaun himself. Painfully bad.

End Of Days (1999)

The Soundtrack: Rob Zombie’s ‘Superbeast’ growls, while Limp Bizkit offer up ‘Crushed’.

Worst Song: Guns N' Roses present their first new material in half a decade. Sadly, the best they can do is ‘Oh My God’, a monotonous dirge that entirely kills this collection of tunes.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret Of The Ooze (1991)

The Soundtrack: Comprised of songs that the soundtrack bods apparently scraped around at EMI for.

Worst Song: Vanilla Ice’s ‘Ninja Rap’, which is supposedly improvised by the rapper himself when he makes an appearance in a nightclub scene halfway through the film. Considering how bad it is, we entirely buy that he made it up on the spot.

  • Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles in Sonic 3 The 25 best movies on Prime Video to watch right now

Maniac Cop 2 (1990)

The Soundtrack: Basically nothing more than a showcase for a musical collaboration between Yeschwua Barnes and B Dub Woods.

Worst Song: The duo’s ‘Maniac Cop Rap’ is nothing short of embarrassing, and not just because they grunt “jive” with nary a tongue in a cheek. Lyrics sample: “Bullets won't hurt him. / I know it sounds like jive, / But we're not sure if he's dead or alive.” Shudder.

Mission: Impossible II (2000)

The Soundtrack: Spearheaded by Limp Bizkit, who give their own take on the original Mission: Impossible theme.

Worst Song: Limb Bizkit savage that iconic theme tune with track ‘Take a Look Around’, doing the musical equivalent of taking a dump all over Lalo Schifrin’s stellar work.

Hannah Montana: The Movie (2009)

The Soundtrack: A confection of generic tween pop courtesy of Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift and – bizarrely – country band Rascal Flatts.

Worst Song:
‘Hoedown Throwdown’, simply because of its massively insulting and inappropriate title. This is a kid’s film, right?

Across The Universe (2007)

The Soundtrack: Another soundtrack entirely made up of Beatles covers – 33 in total were used in the film, though only 16 made it onto the standard soundtrack. Bono’s ‘I Am The Walrus’ is the only bright spot.

Worst Song: ‘Strawberry Fields’ as sung by Jo Anderson and Jim Sturgess entirely misses the mark. At least Lennon will never hear it.

Batman & Robin (1997)

The Soundtrack: A frankly bizarre mix of tunes that includes the likes of Moloko, R. Kelly, Underworld and someone called Meshell Ndegeocello.

Worst Song: ‘The End Is The Beginning Is The End’, a fittingly loud, unrestrained cacophony from The Smashing Pumpkins. Headache-inducing.

Alvin & The Chipmunks (2007)

The Soundtrack: An entire CD of helium-inspired squeaking as Alvin and his nut-scoffing back-up singers ruin classics like ‘I Love Rock N Roll’ and, er, ‘Don’t Cha’.

Worst Song: ‘Funkytown’, which reaches levels of such high-pitched shrilling that only dogs can hear it by the end. Trust us, don’t get this one for the kiddies, no matter how much they might beg.

The Room (2003)

The Soundtrack: An almost intolerable blend of Mladen Milicevic’s inept score, and four R&B slow jams by artists (Clint Gamboa, Bell Johnson) you’ve never heard of before.

Worst Song: So terrible we can’t pick just the one. A fittingly dreadful accompaniment to one of the worst films ever made.
