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!

"You Light Up My Life" was sung by Debby Boone, not Debbie Gibson.
It was also a religious song.
uh yeah. it was good. even Davey jones couldn't stand it. They had much better songs on their albums and on their anthology.
How about I am your long haired lover from Liverpool by his brother Jimmy.
"you're my pride and joy, et cetra"
"Chestnut Mare" by the Byrds
Don't Get Hooked On Me
(Mac Davis)
Girl, you're gettin' that look in your eyes
And it's startin' to worry me
I ain't ready for no family ties
Nobody's gonna hurry me
Just keep it friendly, girl, 'cause
I don't wanna leave
Don't start clingin' to me, girl, 'cause
I can't breathe
Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
'Cause I'll just use you then I'll set you free
Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
Girl, you're a hot-blooded woman-child
And it's warm where you're touchin' me
But I can tell by your tremblin' smile
You're seein' way too much in me
Girl, don't let your life get tangled up with mine
'Cause I'll just leave you
I can't take no clingin' vine
Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
'Cause I'll just use you then I'll set you free
Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
'Cause I'll just use you then I'll set you free
Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
Guess it's not really a love song, but I really do enjoy Mac Davis' "I'm Gonna Build Me A Bar In the Back of My Car and Drive Myself to Drink"!! LOL
I would opt for a sharp number 2 pencil jammed in my ear before I'd voluntarily listen to 'Muskrat Love'......
When you combine "Claire" with Gilbert O'Sullivan's previous "Alone Again, Naturally", an image emerges of someone with some very serious relationship problems.
hows about Creedence "suzy Q"
Bad music, LOLROFL, Muskrat Love PING!
Cheesy a song as "Honey" is, it used to make me cry because my dad said it reminded him of his first wife.
IMHO one of best disco songs of all time and yes I was actually 17 at the time.
Because I grew up during those Sappy '70 - these are MY songs:) Thinking back to the popular songs of the day reminds me of England Dan and John Ford Coley - "I'd really love to see you tonight"
Did you know Mac Davis wrote that as a joke when someone told him he should record a song with a hook (a line that keeps getting repeated).
You remember the one that was something about a horse getting lost. That was baaaad.
She ran calling wildfire?
Michael Martin Murphy
I will never forgive him for inventing the just-got-kicked-in-the-nuts vocal style.
Nah. :^)
