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!

My sister had a 45 of Indiana. What horrible drek.

What? No one wants a song about a DEAD DOG called "Shannon"???

[somerville]

I agree. I always snap the radio off the second I hear "Having My Baby."I think I dislike it because he seems to be whining rather than singing.

[Don Carlos]

"I've Got Tears In My Ears From Lying On My Back Crying Over You"

Isn't that from the same guy who sang "If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?"

Probably not, but I kinda like silly little word plays in my beer drinkin music.

Do you love me? Will you love me forever? Do you need me? Will you never leave me? Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life? Will you take me away? Will you make me your wife?

The one I grew up with was 'two wrongs don't make a right, but the second one gets even'.

My personal favorite take on this one is "Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do"

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?

I remember seeing it on TV and my dad complaining about it lol.

I just Googled it and didn't find any pictures, but did find reference to it. I had forgotten that it was at a state dinner for Queen Elizabeth!

The article I found remarked on the inadvisability of playing a song about copulating rodents for the Queen lol.

My wife's a Beatlemaniac.

She says Sir Paul wrote Martha My Dear on The Beatle's (White Album) album to his dog. Another silly love song dedicated to a dog.

[Hardastarboard]

Paul McCartney's "Silly Love Songs" make me consider the Hunter S. Thompson solution.

LOL!! For you or McCartney? I vote for using it on him.

[Fresh Wind]

Bobby Vinton's "Roses are Red" is so bad that it makes my flesh crawl.

[not_apathetic_anymore]

LOL

Muskrat Love as the musical entertainment at a state dinner. You just cant make this stuff up!

[sushiman]

!" eleanor " by The Turtles ? Must disagree . Great little pop tune .

[FreedomCalls]

"Loving You" -- Minnie Ripperton.

[Getready]

BZZZZZZ....wrong answer..

Alone again naturally...by....Gilbert O'sullivan?

[spectre]

Has "Torn Between Two Lovers" been mentioned yet? If not, I nominate it.

But FEELINGS is number one worst.

[sully777]

Puddle of Mud

She Hates Me

[I'm ALL Right!]

Let Me Help
I got two strong arms
I can help
It would sure do me good
to D-O-O-O YO-O-O-U GOOD
Let Me Help.

One of the most annoying songs EVER.

[azhenfud]

Shebang Shebang.

[small_l_libertarian]

"Torn Between Two Lovers" used to confuse me as a kid. I remember asking my mom about it, and she just didn't answer. First time I've thought about that in years!

[Shady]

Gee THANKS!!! See that girl...Hummmmmmmm

[Riverman94610]

Actually,the sentiments in the song were heartfelt and real.But the song ITSELF sucked!
