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!

They didn't put the comma in the lyrics ("She's my girl, Bill.") until late in the song and it took a couple of weeks for any of us to listen to that much of it.
I will SO not now be cooing in your ear, muskat-like. YOUR loss.
Uhhh Errrrr Ahhhhhhh.......OK I don't like it !
that's my lie and I'm stickin too it !
BTW I'd never hurt yer feelings on purpose.......:o)
Now go to bed young lady........don't gorget to turn up the music !
...AHEM!!!
total weirdness, this thread it really hooked into the universal subconscious. I thought of that song, for no good reason, about 5 posts before I read yours.
That is weird. I thought I was the only one who ever thought of that song.
Hellooooo......((((cricket))))).......((((cricket)))) ?!?!?
Uhh Ohhhh !
Basically, about a cheating guy who wants his "girl" to wait for him to finish sowing his wild oats.
This song takes on a whole new depth when you hear Klaus Nomi sing it.
I was even pleasently surprised with their "Walk on Water" reunion release a few years back.
I don't have their live CD, but the song list is good. I have to give that one a listen.
*poutingly looking at you with tuck-me-in Ferris Bueller eyes, at the end of the movie*
And watch your hand for my attempted nibble, while you're tucking.
Goo goo gaa gaa all is forgiven, Squant? I'm waaaiiiittt-ing. And could you turn out my My Little Pony lamp, too? Thanks, baby. G'nitey nite.
Whooo Hoo !.......Night !
They did an ENTIRE SHOW of contestants singing "Feelings." And every one of them was gonged!
Well, it's a good song for the roller rink.
"She ran callin' 'Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiild Faaaahr!'"
'Wild Fire.' I heard that one speeded up to about 105 RPM on the radio once while it was popular. "Okay! There's only a couple minutes left in the hour and we PROMISED this one to a caller..." DJs were sick of it too. Had to be one of the funniest things I'd ever heard!"
for the next
three
minutes
please..."
I think Dusty Springfield was the artist and the year was about 1966. It's classic lyrics are probably available online. Fortunately, such greeting-card-worthy poetry has been made eternally available by virture of the net!
"Having My Baby" truly stank. Now that would have been an interesting gossip-worthy first song at a wedding! And, back in the olden days, it would have been appropriate on more than a few occasions!
Debbie Boone was a one-hit wonder. She tripped the light fantastic with one song and then went on to have four kids. In spite of her lack of commercial success, everytime she had another baby, Good Housekeeping put her on the cover, like she was the First Lady. You could always count on women's magazines to sell if they had on the cover Jackie O, Liz Taylor, Princess Di--or Debbie Boone's newest baby.
