music and movies go hand in hand
well sometimes they do welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top ten
cheesiest songs by actors and actresses
for this list we’re looking at those
rare occasions where actors dip their
toes into the musical waters while we’re
not saying any of these songs are bad
they are most certainly cheesy
I claim all right now beliefs we got
some rough shape
we’re gonna break member ten rappin
Rodney Rodney Dangerfield when I was
free in 1983 some music executive heard
the brakes by Kurtis Blow and said I
like that now let’s have an old white
man it seemed to make sense given Rodney
Dangerfield’s fame so the actual writers
of the brakes were hired and America was
blessed with the appropriately titled
rappin Rodney with a theme of no respect
Dangerfield rhymes about the
difficulties of sex at an old age while
expressing his love for a juicy steak
why you ask
well because it’s rapping Rodney now
break it down
number nine girl it’s alright steven
seagal
the album cover says it all
Steven Seagal has arrived to melt your
face off with blazing hot lyrics
the production is a highlight but then
kings of foreign lands are referenced
and not before long we realize that
cigars lyrics are off-the-wall
although knowing Segal’s background in
the action world makes the musical
talent all the more impressive
Steven seeing a serenading ballad is
just too strange for us we love you
regardless Steven
number eight treat your mother right mr.
t loosen up fools are you ready to be
schooled with knowledge at the height of
his 18 fame mr. t released an
educational video which featured the
classic tune treat your mother right
okay nobody said that mr. t lyrically
influenced the likes of Tupac Shakur and
the notorious Vig but his message was
heartfelt it’s not clear if any mother’s
actually made their children watch the
unique music video but in the age of the
internet it is certain that it’s been
seen by millions
number seven looking for freedom David
Hasselhoff
imagine the reaction of David Hasselhoff
when the news first spread what number
one in West Germany sure maybe America
doesn’t get this inspiring David
Hasselhoff number but the song became a
surprise anthem for the tear down of the
Berlin Wall
in fact David Hasselhoff performed the
song at the Berlin Wall weeks after the
walls started being taken down
unfortunately hasselhoff success was
minimal outside of Europe as the song
was ranked as the 98th worst song ever
by AOL radio
number six rocket man William Shatner
the touchdown
please leave a can to find out
welcome to the lyricist lounge aka the
1978 science fiction film awards today
everyone seems to have their own unique
William Shatner impression however back
in the 70s smoked out audiences were
legitimately stunned by the spoken word
prowess of Captain Kirk just at all five
days a week
in 2011 Shatner recorded a studio
version proving that the legacy of his
performance decades ago has lived on
through the years with a cigarette in
hand and posed like Rodin’s thinker
Captain Kirk truly gave his crewmate
Spock a run for his money in the music
game
and I think it’s gonna be number five
respect yourself Bruce Willis
oh the irony in the late 80s
HBO premiered a mockumentary in which
Bruce Willis starred as a legendary
blues singer named Bruno rad aleni
and his subsequent single was not only
released by Motown but reached number 5
on the Billboard Hot 100
what does that mean mojo holics it
likely means that your parents once
decided to pay actual money for this
single and you know what happened next
Bruce Willis played the harmonica all
over the world
number four MacArthur Park Richard
Harris was never away too far one step
ahead in 1968 Richard Harris was hot off
a Golden Globe win for his Camelot
performance and was already an
established actor what’s the logical
next step perform a chart-topping song
that’s what
written by Jimmy Webb and arguably one
of the strangest songs ever recorded the
song made it all the way to number one
in Australia
later covered by disco legend Donna
Summer and country star Waylon Jennings
Richard Harris has no doubt made his
mark on music history despite it being
his only major success
all the sweet green I see
number three heartbeat Don Johnson
you can give it away you money don’t be
much to me 50 shades of hey maybe you
shouldn’t do that just a few years
before the birth of his daughter Dakota
Johnson the star of Miami Vice was
rolling in the cash and naturally
decided it was time to release an album
dressed in all black like a poor man’s
Johnny Cash in the songs music video Don
Johnson creeped on women in the streets
in search of the ultimate heartbeat
audiences literally bought the message
and this classic 80s cheese fest reached
number five on the Billboard Hot 100
number two she’s like the wind Patrick
Swayze she’s done to win
– mud trees originally written in 1984
for the film Grand View USA this power
ballad faithfully slipped through the
cracks and found itself on the dirty
dancing soundtrack
with the opening lyrica she’s like the
wind through my tree
the singer/songwriter sets the tone for
a passionate love affair as seen in the
grainy black and white music video
the song isn’t necessarily horrible
it’s simply over-the-top and the worst
part of it all is that nobody remembers
the name of Wendy Fraser and her
beautiful vocal contributions
before we unveil our topic here are a
few honorable mentions
number one party all the time
Eddie Murphy produced by a Rick James
and performed by stand-up comedian Eddie
Murphy this mid-80s release was a
legitimate billboard hits in fact only
Lionel Richie’s say you say me kept it
from reaching number one the cheese
factor is strong with this one as people
dance like maniacs in the music video
while Eddie Murphy becomes more dramatic
with each passing moment
unintentionally hilarious and a classic
example of cheesy synth-pop party all
the time remains an American and nygma
I’m one of Eddie Murphy’s biggest career
moves
