Is there anything worse?  :sick:

I dare you to watch through to the end of this without squirming.

Are there any counterexamples to disprove my theory that little children singing - particularly groups of chiddlers - ruins ANY record?

Little children singing on commercial recordings; Grandad (the nadir of CliveDunn's career) and that execrable shite about
L S Lowry.

TBF they didn't really have to try to ruin the shite in the OP.

Yo la Tengo covering Nuclear War (I remember that all the voices are children or nieces/nephews of the band)

The Langley Schools Music Project was pretty decent too. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Langley_Schools_Music_Project

Probably exceptions that prove the rule, though, I'm not sure which of St Winifred's School Choir and McCartney's Frog Chorus was the worse eighties crime

St Winifred's are good on "Bow Down", one of The Housemartins' best.
