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!

Ewwww...you need to keep that to yourself. I already hated that song, but now I won't be able to hear it without...oh yuck!

Title: THEY ARE COMING TO TAKE ME AWAY
Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees
And begged you not to leave
Because I'd go beserk
Well you left me anyhow
And then the days got worse and worse
And now you see I've gone
Completely out of my mind
And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa
They're coming to take me away ho ho hee hee ha haaa
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see those nice young men
In their clean white coats
And they're coming to take me away ha haaa
I actually love the song. It's just cheesy.
You Don't Even Call Me By My Name
You Don't Even Call Me By My Name
by: DAVID ALLAN COE
It was all that I could do to keep from cryin'
Sometimes it seems so useless to remain
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
You never even call me by my name.
You don't have to call me Waylon Jennings
And you don't have to call me Charlie Pride.
You don't have to call me Merle Haggard, anymore.
Even though your on my fightin' side.
CHORUS
And I'll hang around as long as you will let me
And I never minded standin' in the rain.
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
You never even call me by my name.
I've heard my name a few times in your phone book
I've seen it on signs where I've laid
But the only time I know, I'll hear David Allan Coe
Is when Jesus has his final judgement day.
CHORUS...
(then: the spoken part below has this played in the background):
Well, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song and he told me it was the perfect country and western song I wrote him back a letter and told him it was NOT the perfect country and western song because he hadn't said anything about Momma, or trains, or trucks, or prison, or gettin' drunk. Well, he sat down and wrote another verse to the song and he sent it to me and after reading it, I realized that my friend had written the perfect country and western song. And I felt obliged to include it on this album. The last verse goes like this here:
Well, I was drunk the day my Mom got outta prison.
And I went to pick her up in the rain.
But, before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
She got runned over by a damned old train.
CHORUS:
So I'll hang around as long as you will let me
And I never minded standin' in the rain. No,
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
You never even call me, I wonder why you don't call me
Why don't you ever call me by my name.

A horse getting lost? Nope...doesn't ring a bell, which is probably just as well.
I'm Gonna Catch That Horse If I Can
Makes me wish my bangs were still exploded.
How bout that song they do on Mad Tv, "You are the Love of my Life You are the Love of my Life You are the Love of my Life You are the Love of my Life YOu are the Love of my Life You are the Love of my life".
And that's just the Title!~}
I feel protective of Brown Eyed Girl...a favorite since 1967 or so, but I agree with just about all of the other postings:
Cherish, Honey, I honestly love you, have you never been mellow?, one egg left to fry, are all tunes to accompany roasting in Hell.
what? nobody picks on "Daydream beleiver"?
No doubt in my mind. It has to be "Muskrat Love" by Captain and Tenille.
What about that old favorite, "How can I kiss the lips at night that have chewed my a$$ off all day?".
She ran calling wildfire?
Nashville Cats, play clean as country water
Nashville Cats, play wild as mountain dew
Nashville Cats, been playin' since they's babies
Nashville Cats, get work before they're two
Well, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two
Guitar pickers in Nashville
And they can pick more notes than the number of ants
On a Tennessee anthill
Yeah, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two
Guitar cases in Nashville
And any one that unpacks his guitar could play
Twice as better than I will
She ran calling "Wi-i-i-i-i-ild-fire!"
She ran callin' Wiiillllld Fiiiirrreeee....
'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.'
Even back in the 70's they realized that song sucked.
"wildfire" the horse ran out into the snow. stupid horse. musta been a democrat.
Relive the 70s? Oh no...not that! Anything but that! The only thing worse would be...reliving the 60s! Aieeeee!
LOL! That is my all-time most-hated song. It used to be played every morning when I was getting ready for work back in the 70's. It made me want to crawl back into bed and pull the covers up over my head.
It's amazing how these types of threads just take off and go crazy.
BTW I nominate Wildfire as a dumbass love song about a pony.
