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!

BZZZZ...she's been corrected three times already.

That's okay. I like "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights."

I thought it was hilarious in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" when Meatloaf, after having had his brain removed, could still sing and ride a motorcycle.

We can't forget the ever popular "Band of Gold". But I really think "Muakrat Love" is the all time WORST!

[Getready]

Torn Between Two Lovers.

Wasn't that a song about a fun-kay girl who was dating a
Siamese twin?

[Shady]

"I'd have written you a letter but I couldn't spell
Tbbbbhhhttttttt!"

[unixfox]

Ben - Michael Jackson

[esquirette]

by Malvina Reynolds? Now there's a commie!

MALVINA REYNOLDS 1900--1978

Born Malvina Milder of Jewish socialist immigrant parents in San Francisco, Malvina was refused her diploma by Lowell High School because her parents were opposed to US participation in World War I. She entered UC Berkeley anyway, and received her BA and MA in English. She married William Reynolds, a carpenter and organizer, in 1934 and had one child, Nancy, in 1935. She completed her dissertation and was awarded her Doctorate in 1936. It was the middle of the Depression, she was Jewish, socialist, and a woman. She could not find a job teaching at the college level. She became a social worker and a columnist for the People's World and, when World War II started, an assembly-line worker at a bomb factory. When her father died, she and her husband took over her parents' naval tailor shop in Long Beach, California. There in the late forties she met Earl Robinson, Pete Seeger and other folk singers and songwriters and began writing songs. She returned to Berkeley, and to the University, where she took music theory classes in the early fifties. She gained recognition as a songwriter when Harry Belafonte sang her “Turn Around.” Her songs were recorded by Joan Baez, Judy Collins, The Seekers, Pete Seeger, and the Limeliters, among others. She wrote songs for Women for Peace, the Nestle Boycott, the sit-ins in San Francisco on auto row and at the Sheraton-Palace, the fight against putting a freeway through Golden Gate Park and other causes. She toured Scandinavia, England and Japan. A film biography, Love It Like a Fool, was made a few years before she died in 1978. Ellen Stekert is writing a biography and would like information about Malvina's pre-1945 activities.

"Lovin' You"

Agree..Absolutely AWFUL

That screaming whining woman (Forget her name, don't remind me.)should have been shot at the recording session.

Might play that record to help peel off wallpaper!

[msjhall]

Okay, this may be a little off but does anyone remember:

Bigfoot's comin, gonna getcha gonna getcha
Bigfoot's comin so ya better watch out
Lock your doors and lock your windows
Bigfoot's on the prowl


and

that song about Jaws (I'll I can remember is the line "Wouldn't you give your hand to a friend ..")

[sully777]
