He wants suggestions. Time to work on my list.

The worst song ever isn't rock, it's country: "Teddy Bear" by Red Sovine.

'Muskrat Love' by Captain and Tennille

There is an interesting thread here:

Worst song from the eighties? "We Are Animals" by The Europeans. This played on my favorite Beavis and Butthead episode ("Canoe"), and as the boys said, it sucked more than anything else they had ever seen.

NOPE

The worst song is right here.....http://www.pathcom.com/~boby/lsd.htm

IMO: Mellow Yellow, Free Bird, anything by the Supremes...

"Wildfire," a song about a girl who runs around shouting out her horse's name after he ran off."

Oh cripes, I had forgotten all about this song, and how very much I hate it! LOL, ack, it's in my brain again now! I actually once seriously considered breaking up with a guy because he revealed to me that he liked this awful song. Ohmigosh, I'm ill all over again.

However, for the worse rock song of all time I must nominate one, and at the same time give it an exemption. My most hated rock song of all time is "Roxanne" by The Police. I will lunge across the room to change the station if that song comes on. Why do I hate it so? Because it is such a pale imitation of that great and ill remembered song "Ruby Don't Take Your Love to Town" by I don't know who.

The exemption? Roxanne as used in "Moulin Rouge", which forced the true quality of the song out, like squeezing a piece of fruit to get the juice. How much I like "Roxanne" in Moulin Rouge proves to my satisfaction that Baz Luhrman is truly a genius.

You can't make a "worst songs" list with songs you dislike... A bad song is a song that doesn't sell. Period.

Good post for a Saturday nite. So far 2 songs mentioned I like. One Tin Soldier and Midnight at the Oasis. But with out a doubt "Having My Baby" belongs in the worst song list.

[eleni121]

So many awful tunes and so little time..."Disco Duck" comes to mind.

[Psycho_Bunny]

The worst song ever?

Ever?

It's no contest:  "Chopsticks"

Any person who plays Chopsticks should be taken out and publicly beaten, regardless of age:  older people should know better, and younger people need to be taught a lesson.

 

The thread is now over and I declare myself the winner.

Anything by Yoko Ono.

[Lijahsbubbe]

How about the one about cannabalism - "Timothy, Timothy, Where On Earth Did You Go"...

[Atlas Sneezed]

These lists tend to confuse overplayed mediocre songs with bad songs.

[KarlInOhio]

Bon Jovi - "Living on a Prayer".

Each playing only sucks a little bit, but the summer it came out it was played so often it added up to the Worst Song Ever.
