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!

Total Eclipse of the Heart was another one of my brother's favorite targets:

every now and then/ they fall apart"
Now I have to clean to coffee off of my monitor!

In the human race
Oh, bigmouth, ha ha ... bigmouth, la
Bigmouth strikes again

Well..... how about "It wasn't God that made Honkytonk Angels"
1,068 posts and nobody remembers "Having My Baby" by Neil Sedaka? Does that mean that everyone else liked that miserable tune?
From The crazy world of Arthur Brown, IIRC...
Are any of these songs country? LOL
Well Clarence Carter obviously got over it, cause now he's "Strokin'"
I stroke it to the East
I stroke it to the West

That I love the best.
Decades ago, it was certainly "Blame it on the Bossa Nova," especially the oft-repeated, cringingly flat...uh..."blue note."
"Lou Christie - Lightnin' Strikes
Basically, about a cheating guy who wants his "girl" to wait for him to finish sowing his wild oats.
-PJ"
What I hate most about this song is how much I like the tune. I start singing along when it comes on the radio and then remember what a skunk the guy is. <;)
Another one like that is "Love the One You're With"
Barry Manilow is gay??
Blister in the Sun by the Violent Fems was quite the awesome romantic love song.
Are any of these songs country? LOL
