40 Most Awesomely Bad Love Songs
vh-1/viacom ^ | 3-02-05

Posted on 03/02/2005 12:30:39 PM PST by sully777

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!

Sorry, wrong Debby. Still, one of the sappiest of the lot. And to make matters WORSE, they made a movie of the same name. Luckily, my gf at the time didn't force me to see it. Ain't enough SciFi/Action movies in the WORLD to make up for that turkey!

Ok, You made me do this!! LOLOL!! Teen Angel Mark Dinning

[Words and Music by Jean Surrey & Red Surrey]

[Peaked at #1 in 1960]

Teen angel, teen angel, teen angel, ooh, ooh

That fateful night the car was stalled

upon the railroad track

I pulled you out and we were safe

but you went running back

Teen angel, can you hear me

Teen angel, can you see me

Are you somewhere up above

And I am still your own true love

What was it you were looking for

that took your life that night

They said they found my high school ring

clutched in your fingers tight

Teen angel, can you hear me

Teen angel, can you see me

Are you somewhere up above

And I am still your own true love

Just sweet sixteen, and now you're gone

They've taken you away.

I'll never kiss your lips again

They buried you today

Teen angel, can you hear me

Teen angel, can you see me

Are you somewhere up above

And I am still your own true love

Teen angel, teen angel, answer me, please

That's not Sugar Shack, the car as big as a whale song is Love Shack by the b-52's.

Sometimes When We Touch was written by somebody named Dan Hill, who I trust has moved on to some job better suited to his manifest talents. Interrogating members of Al Qaeda, perhaps. Gad, what a horrid lyric!

You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning to see the real you

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

There's more...and worse.

Oh, and as runner up, "Brown Eyed Girl" another major league gack fest.



Ah yes, the song about Van Morrison impregnating his girlfriend.

"Saw just the other day/My how you have grown"

On a side note, when Sheryl Crow's star fades:

I think you got it. But WHY?

Oh, for a little fun, how about "All My Ex-es are in Texas?"

'Maybe you were remembering the Carol Burnett Show. Eunice went onto the Gong Show singing "Feelings"'

No, this was definitely the Gong Show. It was a guy.

Lord, how I hate Brown Eyed Girl. Why won't radio stations stop playing that awful song?

"Paul McCartney's "Silly Love Songs" make me consider the Hunter S. Thompson solution"

Yes but Paul's bass playing in that song is awesome, so I can let it slide.

Ted Nugent has a love song that always gets me emotional:

WANG DANG SWEET POONTANG!

"Muskrat Love" by Captain and Tenille.

Glad I read down a little to find someone else who posted first.

No, the ultimate creepy love song is that transgenerational love ballad "Claire" by Gilbert O' Sullivan.
