What is the most awesomely bad love song ever? The one that makes you cringe when you hear it, but you just can't turn it off. What love song makes you shake your head, roll your eyes, laugh, gag, shed a tear, or just punch something because it's so horrendously great that you love to hate it. Or is it vice versa? VH1 is counting down the 40 Most Awesomely Bad Love Songs....The kind of songs that might end a relationship rather than enhance it. You get the drift.

Join us as we count down and celebrate fantastically cheesy lyrics, the best and worst metaphors, awkward and confusing themes, and of course, those strange, misguided flukes from our favorite artists, while our team of experts help explain why we've deemed these songs so (un)worthy. We've been covering our ears, shutting off the radio, and running from the room screaming for too long. It's time to ban these songs to our awesomely bad Hall of F(Sh)ame!

I pinged Canada and Australia because they have graced the world with an unusual number of cheesy love songs through the likes of Gordon Lightfoot, Anne Murray, Savage Garden, and Air Supply. For this reason alone, they should pay dearly with loss of airplay if it wasn't for the balance of Rush, AC/DC, Jet, and Nick Gilder...

"Artists" Included in the VH-1 List:

All I Want To Do Is Make Love To You .....Heart Truly ......Lionel Richie

But they didn't note this song

Honey

Sung by: Bobby Goldsboro Written by: Bobby Russell

See the tree, how big it's grown but friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't big I laughed at her and she got mad, the first day that she planted, it, was just a twig Then the first snow came and she ran out to brush the snow away So it wouldn't die Came runnin' in all excited, slipped and almost hurt herself And I laughed till I cried She was always young at heart, kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved her so And I surprised her with a puppy Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago And it would sure embarrass her When I came in from workin' late 'cause I would know That she'd been sittin' there and cryin' Over some sad and silly late, late show

And honey, I miss you and I'm bein' good And I'd love to be with you if only I could

She wrecked the car and she was sad And so afraid that I'd be mad but what the heck Though I pretended hard to be Guess you could say she saw through me and hugged my neck I came home unexpectedly and caught her cryin' needlessly In the middle of a day And it was in the early Spring when flowers bloom and robins sing She went away

And honey, I miss you and I'm bein' good And I'd love to be with you if only I could

One day while I was not at home while she was there and all alone The angels came Now all I have is memories of Honey and I wake up nights and call her name Now my life's an empty stage where Honey lived and Honey played And love grew up And a small cloud passes overhead and cries down on the flower bed That Honey loved

And see the tree how big it's grown but friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't big And I laughed at her and she got mad The first day that she planted it, was just a twig

For fun replace "heart" with "horse" in a love song, or "love" with the word "lunch"

Any Bryan Adams song. And he's Canadian, right?

[Mr. Jeeves]

"Love Will Keep Us Together", by The Captain and Tenille. Dead, dead, dead last. If there were only five hundred other songs in the competition, that one would still finish in ten thousandth place.

And to my shame, I actually liked it when I was twelve. ;)
