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

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!

Decades ago, the great science fiction writer Alfred Bester coined another term for dreadful songs you can't forget. In "The Demolished Man," he told of a future in which murder has ceased because the cops can read minds, so nobody can get away with it. A super-rich financier is determined to murder a rival, and needs a way to conceal his thoughts even from the cops. A psychologist suggests memorizing a dreadful jingle for a popular TV series, an awful, yet unforgettable ditty called "Tenser, Said The Tensor."

The shrink tells him that for some reason that has long since been forgotten, such dreadful, memory-saturating tunes are called "Pepsis."

What do you get if you play a country music song backwards?

You get your house back, your dog back, your car back, your wife back, etc.

cut loose like a douche in the middle of the night!

That's "deuce." It's a car, a deuce coupe, a 32 Ford.

Cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night.

"she ran calling 'wildfire'" was part of the lyrics. Wildfire may have even been the name of the song. You're right, it sucked.

Babe, I got you babe, I got you babe.

They say our love won't pay the rent, before it's earned our moneys all been spent.

(Turn on nasal factor)

Guess that's true we don't have a lot, at least I'm sure of all the things I got...

Babe, I got you babe.

Aerosmith's "Don't Want to Miss a Thing." Gawd, that song's annoying.

You mean "Arthur's Theme", I believe. A real baddy for sure, although our crew changed it to "When you get caught between the Moon and two big (euphamism for female mammary glands)," which made it almost bearable.

Another forgotten one, "I'm Saving All my Love for You" which in our group became "I'm Shaving both my Legs for You".

'Feelings. can't recall the artist's name. Pity.'

I once saw someone gonged on the "Gong Show" for doing that song.

I once saw an episode of The Gong Show where every performer did that song... there must have been six or seven of them.

That was a great song, especially if you are tired and can sing it while yawning.

Guess my mind was so occupied with the first 2 listed that Mandy didn't even connect.

It's too overwhelming to think of all these songs at once:)

She died soon after recording that song. I know her name but I'm not telling. I want it to eat away at the inside of your head till you're forced to look it up. :D
