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.
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!

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
Hit Me With Your Best Shot, by Pat (beat-me-again-please) Benatar
That's not Sugar Shack, the car as big as a whale song is Love Shack by the b-52's.
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.
BINGO. Talk about Michael Jackson-level creepy.
Oh, and as runner up, "Brown Eyed Girl" another major league gack fest.
OK you get the award, those are the worst.
On a side note, when Sheryl Crow's star fades:
"All I Wanna Do is Have Some Lunch"
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?
Swingin Medalions
Doubleshot of My Baby's Love.
"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.
how about "jesse's girl" or "centerfold"?
