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!

[Petronski]

My love for you is way out of line. You better run, girl. You're much too young, girl.

Even below "muscrat Love"?

[Mr. Jeeves]

We'll call it a tie. "Muskrat Love" is awful, too - forgot about that one. ;)

[Indy Pendance]

sugar shack is great! I got me a car it's as big as whale. LOL!

[Cathy]

Billy, don't be hero, come back and make me your wife!

One of the tragedy songs of the 70's.

Peaches and Herb

From a 70's and 80's junkie

[vollmond]

Ultimate creepy love song - "Come up the Years" by Jefferson Airplane.

[Sam the Sham]

It was a nice day. Why did you have to remind me of that song ?

[Jaysun]

Among the worst has to be "I Touch Myself" by "DiVinyls". Behold the chorus:

I don't want anybody else
When I think about you
I touch myself
I don't want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no

[southernnorthcarolina]

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

[msjhall]

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

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

[ArcLight]

Sometimes, when we touch
The honesty's too much!

What an accursed song! A blight upon the ear!

[Tribune7]

If there were only five hundred other songs in the competition, that one would still finish in ten thousandth place.

Aren't you failing to take into account Muskrat Love?

"Don't forget "Muskrat Love" "

I was trying to...

[sully777]

"Magnet and Steel"

---

Forever....Fleetwood Mac

[somerville]

"You Light Up My Life" was sung by Debby Boone, not Debbie Gibson.

[Rippin]

"Why do you love me?" By Kip

[small_l_libertarian]

This might actually be classified as an anti-love song, but I cry every time I hear (wait for it...)

"Two Out of Three Ain't Bad" by Meatloaf.

[Rakkasan1]

that's it ! the damn song with birds tweeting all through it and her singing "la-la-la-la-la" and ending with that
Mariah Carey-like porpoise noise....ARRRRGGGGG! get it out
of my head!

[ssaftler]

Tragedy songs:

"Leader of the Pack" and it's sister song
"Leader of the Laundromat"

"Oh where oh where can my baby be?"
