I has hearing what I thought of as the worst song ever produced – Melanie’s “Brand New Key”

I was in Germany in early 1972 and listened to the Armed Forces Network, which played Top 40 tunes. Since, for some reason, "Brand New Key" was close to the top of the charts, it got played a lot. That, and "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing."

Both were bad.
