The music staff at AOL Radio and AOL Music's "Spinner" has come up with a list of the 20 worst songs of all time. In the No. 1 spot: "Who Let the Dogs Out?" by the Baha Men.
Other tunes that made the list include "What's Up" by 4 Non Blondes, "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" by Will Smith, "With Arms Wide Open" by Creed, "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls, "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion and, in the No. 2 spot, "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice.

That gawd-awful thing they play in clubs all the time...”turn to the left! Turn to the right! Charlie Brown! Freeze! Criss-cross! Everybody clap your hands!”. I get up and leave when they play that POS.
Let me expand on that: ANYTHING people line-dance to, including the song I mentioned above, make me want to kill myself.
Sounded like their problem wasn't the song, but that Will Smith isn't a rapper.
Song still gets heavy rotation on my MP3 player though right along with "Summertime" and "Miami"
Sidebar trivia: Two of those twenty songs the dance has been made into dance emotes in World of Warcraft ("Macarena" and "Can't Touch This").
Nope Macarena would be the worst..
/train
4NonBlondes (4NonTalents, if you ask me) get my pick for worst song ever, at least in my lifetime:

The horror, the horror...
You beat me to it. Macarana made me want to barf.
Still, it was rather funny watching Al Gore try to dance to it at the convention.
This is Obama’s daughter’s favorite song.

No kidding.
It’s a small world after all
It’s a small world after all
It’s a small world after all
It’s a small small small world...
Muskrat Love, You Are My Hero, and You Light Up My Life, are just vile.
I sort of liked “who let the dogs out”
Nooooooooo!
That’s the creepiest song in the world.
Agreed.
Achey Breakey Heart.
I liked they way they used it in Men In Black 2 with the pug barking along.
Some of those songs aren’t bad, they were just so overplayed.
“Me and You and a Dog Named Boo” is worse, and so is, “Yummy, yummy, yummy! I’ve got love in my tummy.” Also, exactly how does, “everybody Wang Chung, tonight”? Neil Diamond’s “I am. I said.” is also annoying, and so is The Captain and Tennille’s “Muskrat Love”.
As long as “They’re Coming to Take Me Away, Haha” isn’t on the list.
No, that would be "Jeremiah was a bullfrog" .
No, the one you’re referring to is a newer song.
But yes, it does indeed stink big time.
How am I supposed to live without you, added to the vile list. Those others are great vile calls.
You know your song is annoying when people use it for a commercial while it's still supposedly popular.
Hey, the original line-dance songs of the 50’s and 60’s were great:
The Madison (It’s Madison Time) see the movie “Hairspray” for a visual. I was on the Buddy Dean Show about that time when we used to dance the Madison.
The Sloppy dance (”Hang on Sloppy, Hang On”) AND THE KING OF THEM ALL -
“THE STROLL” by the Diamonds
You kids missed a lot of good stuff.
Worst song: “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston
Or “Red, Red Wine” by those who will not be named
Billy, don’t be a hero! I will survive. Do you like Pina Coladas?
Imagine Al Gore trying to do the Limbo. Now that would be a sight, him dragging his lard-ass across the floor and knocking the bar down every time.
YOU SADIST! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
Creepiest song in the world:
Werewolves of London
Hasselhoff doesn’t count when it’s not a song he made popular. He just did a cover that stinks. The song itself is not his fault.
Isn’t The Macarena on the list?
Anything by ABBA.
“Achy Breaky Heart” 1992 by BILLY RAY CYRUS is in a class by itself. It is to Country Music what “Plan 9 From Outer Space” is to movies.
I cannot remember at this moment the name of the Moody Blues big hit in 1964, but the flipside of the 45 was a song they did called “Quit Kickin’ My Dog Around”. I’d say that one could possibly qualify as the Worst Song Of All Time.
I like that song, its very catchy.
Well I guess I’m just shocked it didn’t make the lead-in paragraph. :-)
I can think of dozens that are in the running.
Here's some lyrics:
When you take a sip you buzz like a hornet
Billy Shakespeare wrote a whole bunch of sonnets
Fell deep in love,but now we ain't speaking
Michael J Fox was Alex P Keaton
That would probably be “Go Now”. I have the 45 up in the attic somewhere. I’ll have to check out the flip side.
Check tagline for WORST SONG EVER...
That’s it. “Go Now”. No need to crawl around the attic. Thanks...I can go to sleep now LOL. I’d have stayed up all night trying to remember that.
