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!

Did not read all the posts, but did anyone mention "Macarthur Park" by the late great British actor Richard Harris. OK, let me go on record as saying I LOVE THAT SONG! (ducking as I type this......:)

"Seasons in the Sun" had me so depressed as a child. As if my parent's divorce wasn't enough, the am stations in our car always played that song. I think it went on for years...or so it seemed when I was 7. I still can't listen to that song.
Yeah, I know the feleing, my parents divorced in 1976. I turned 10 that year and the BiCentennial was like "R&R" to me, it was a great help so I admit "Afternoon Delight" holds a pleace in my heart even if it is campy as sin. My birthday is July 8th so it was celebrated durin the height of the activities. My nother told my father not to tell me about the impending divorce until summer but my father blew it and told me in March of that year, almost flunked 3rd grade until the teacher help me. The BiCentennial activities were aq help then.
Since we are on songs, my father never spent too much time with me as a kid. Not only back then but today, when I hear Harry Chapin's "Cat's in the Cradle," I get a lump in my throat and sometimes I get close to blubbering. B-P

I guess it has been mentioned. LOL. It is considered a love song. Scary. It's icky on so many levels. Like muzak meets 70's pop rock with lyrics that gag but are meant to be suggestive or something... And Muskrat Love. Hard to believe that little gem ever made the charts. Ooh, and I just thought of another one - 'Silly Love Song', isn't it by one of the former Beatles, maybe Paul McCartney? Ugh. And now that one is stuck in my head...

REO Speed wagon just had a special way with rhymes: And I can't fight this feeling anymore.I have always believed this song to be the source of Gary Richrath's drinking problem.
To: Petronski
Or... maybe not! It was the 70's and people thought that was ...kewl...
