40 Most Awesomely Bad Love Songs
vh-1/viacom ^ | 3-02-05

Posted on 03/02/2005 12:30:39 PM PST by sully777

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!

I searched all 243 responses so far and am amazed that no one has voted for the Most Awesomely Bad Love Song of All Time:

"(You're) Having My Baby" by Paul Anka.

one wonders about people sitting around trying to write a song about muskrats (glorified rats) making love. I mean, just how does one get inspiration?

"don't forget "Babe" by Styx. Horrid!"

No kidding!

Here's another one: although the Fifth Dimension was good, the lyrics of "One Less Egg to Fry" are really pretty silly.

'During college, the "streaking" days, we used to sing "we had joy, we had fun, we went streaking in the sun, but the cops had a gun, and they shot us in the buns..."'

Definitely better.

PCU http://movies2.nytimes.com/gst/movies/movie.html?v_id=132832

1994 - USA - Satire/Political Satire
Reviewed by Janet Maslin Rating: PG13 Running Time: 79 minutes

Starring: Jon Favreau, Jeremy Piven, David Spade, Sarah Trigger, Chris Young

Directed by: Hart Bochner, Martin Walters
PLOT DESCRIPTION

Is it possible to be politically correct and unified? Find out in this satire set on a fictional eastern university. Port Chester University espouses pc thinking. From the Womynists to the Republicans, everyone there is involved in a cause; many of them are militant. So involved are they, that there is no time to go to class. Much of the story focuses upon residents of the Pit, a co-ed dorm devoted to anarchy and anti-pc philosophy. They are led by Droz. All of the other groups loathe the Pit dwellers, and wish to close it down. President Garcia-Walker is also unpopular for her unbending uptight demeanor. The film's highlight is a giant party featuring the musical stylings of George S. Clinton and Funkadelic. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Some things are so hideous that the sane mind blocks them out in self defence. Why did you have to remind us?

I hope the RIAA doesn’t decide to sue us for degrading these "artists" work.

I remember all too well when Jimmy Carter humiliated the nation by having The Capt. and Tennile perform "Muskrat Love" at an official White House function

NO...he didn't really do that did he!????? How'd I miss that?
