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!

No, she looked better at 2 in the morning than she did at 10:00...
I was a 'dj' when that was popular and if it got programmed ONE MORE TIME I planned to kill the music director.
I was never a big fan of the group Air Supply . . .
All of the country music songs of this era were about sex. My dad hall all of the Ray Price, Conway Twitty, Tom T Hall stuff. It was all about lovin' and cheatin'.
That's all Conway could sing about.
Junior Brown / My Wife Thinks You're Dead
It's good to see you baby it's been a long long while
We're both a whole lot older and seen a lot of miles
But thing are different now since the good ol days
And youve been in some trouble
Since we went our separate ways
Well have to say hello maybe some other time instead
Cause youre wanted by the police (Pronounced poe-lease)
And my wife thinks youre dead.
Somebody spread the rumor that you had lost your life
Least thats the way I heard it and what I told my wife
Now here youre showing up again and talk is getting round
And I can see that one of us will have to leave this town
If you think that I want trouble
Than youre crazy in your head
Cause youre wanted by the police
And my wife thinks youre dead.
You never called or wrote me just up and disappeared
Nobody knew what happened
Where you been for all these years
Now troubles what youre lookin like
Cause troubles where you been
And I can see the kind of trouble you could get me in
You better pay attention to every word I said
Cause youre wanted by the police
And my wife thinks youre dead.
So goodbye to you baby Im glad weve got to talk
But Im faithful to my wife and I dont ever break the law
I dont know where youre headed for
But I know where you been
Were reminisced now lets just go our separate ways again
Go find another ex-sweetheart to hang around instead
Because youre wanted by the police
And my wife thinks youre dead.
You remember the one that was something about a horse getting lost. That was baaaad.
Moon River is a wonderful song. So okay, they overplayed it, but still...
These are all very bad songs, several of which reach "Barf" level, but no list of horrible music can be complete without "Reminiscing" by the Little River Band, with dishonorable mention to "Cherish the Love" by some bunch of 70's Boneheads.
"Cathy's Clown"
Have you ever heard the rumor that "Brown Eyed Girl" was about a girl who liked, uh, butt lovin'? The "brown eye" was . . .
Let's face it: ALL the songs listed on this thread truly sucked. Who do we petition to ask if we can have another whack at the seventies, and this time, lets try to get it right.
I saw several someones get gonged for singing "Feelings". It became an automatic gong. They even had one show where every act sang some version of it, and got gonged.
Ding Ding Ding...we have a winner!
A horse getting lost? Nope...doesn't ring a bell, which is probably just as well.
Just saw a song on Vh-1 Classics that could make several lists including
CHEESIEST VIDEO MADE
CREEPIEST LYRICS WRITTEN BY MICHAEL JACKSON FOR HIS SISTER
DUMBEST DUMB*SS SONG
How about good songs about bad love?
Boot Hill -- Stevie Ray Vaughn
Look up on the wall baby, hand me down my shootin' iron
Look up on the wall baby, hand me down my shootin' iron
Call your mother long distance, tell her to expect your body home
If the city don't bury you baby, Lord knows the county will
If the city don't bury you baby, Lord knows the county will
You've made your last mistake, you're goin' way out on Boot Hill
Lord, I don't wanna whacks you darlin', cause you gave my first thrill
Lord, I don't wanna whacks you baby, 'cause you gave me my first thrill
You did me so wrong baby, you're goin' out on Boot Hill
'And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much'
I heard that when he wrote that song that that line made no sense but he thought it sounded good.
Another song in that genre, allegedly a love song about someone:
"You're So Vain" by Carly Simon
>>"Moon River"....Andy Williams.
Oh, that's one of my favorites! Though I have never heard it more than twice in one day. :)
So, wouldn't she be a 10 at 2 and a 2 at 10?
