Songs that start good but suck too much to finish

This stuff really bothers me. Why do musicians make a song that starts cool then turns to shit? Is that intentional? Was it their goal to suck?

Lloyd - miss that pussy

This song starts good. Talented singer, good backup singers, good instrumentals, good enough lyrics. Then it turns to complete shit.

That's not just 1 bad verse. That's 1/3 of the song.

Jethro Tull - aqualung

One of the most easily recognized intros ever. Everybody has heard this song. Then it turns to shit.

Just hearing that made you less of a man.

Rolling Stones - can't you hear me knocking

I love this song. It's catchy as hell and it's fun to play in Guitar Hero. Then half the song is this shit.

Any others you know of?
 
RHCP - rain dance maggie. i wish it would stop after the funky bassline and cowbell (ie before the chorus)
 
Yeah I know everyone on this forum will think I'm insane but...

I just hate his voice so much that once it gets past the "great for sporting events" part I can't stand it.

Not only does it not suck after the beginning, but the end if basically the beginning over again, including said intro, so it's pretty much impossible for it to start off good but not finish that way.

Do you still remember December's foggy freeze?
When the ice that clings on to your beard is screaming agony
And you snatch your rattling last breaths with deep-sea-diver sounds
And the flowers bloom like madness in the spring.
But you know, the middle is the best part.

ELP - Karn Evil 9 3rd Impression

Alice Cooper - Sun Arise
(can't find an album cut version on Youtube)
 
All the korean pop shit.

Kawaii!

poison the well - nerdy

the band sucks in general, and for the most part their music blows, but the first 30 seconds of this song is really good.
 
Not sure if it was ever "good" but Bulletproof starts off decently catchy. It's OK for the first half of the song and then she repeats "This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof" a MILLION times and it is so annoying. Maybe if it were a clever bit of lyric it would be OK. But it is already bland the 2nd time it is said, after the 6th time I'm about ready to kill someone

Agree with you on this.

The intro is excellent at a game. After that, the song goes to pot.
