40 Most Awesomely Bad Love Songs
vh-1/viacom ^ | 3-02-05

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!

Honey is the worst with honorable mention to "ruby, don't take your love to town." and "Teen Angel"
I especially remember "ruby" be hot when I was in Vietnam.
a great downer for the troops.

I saw Steve Goodman sing the Perfect Country Western Love Song at the 1975 Manitoba Folk Festival, about two years before David Allan Coe had the hit, by which time Goodman was dead of cancer.

Also ANYTHING by Barbra Streisand. She could take the world's best song and make it sappy.

Ever hear her cover Laura Nero's 'Stoney End'? What a travesty...

Run, billy , run

The management apologizes for any confusion

The song is "Wedding Bell Blues" by the Fifth Dimenstion. I was going to list that song - boy do I hate it. Used to send me into a tailspin of depression when I heard it.

Pearl Jam was warming up before a recording session and got to fooling around and then they decided to record, "Last Kiss." Did a pretty good job on a great death-rock song.

Who's got nothin'? You got nothin'! Can't touch this:
What was it you were looking for that took your life that night?
They said they found my high school ring clutched in your fingers tight.

"What was that song in Japanese that was a hit about 1962?"

"Sukiyaki" by Kyu Sakamato. I like that song.

Make me an offer. I got it stored somewhere. Can't sell it because it was a birthday present from my wife and kids.

Correctemundo - "Afternoon Delight" was number one in July 1976. Come on, there must be someone else out besides me there who likes that song.

Nobody who ever saw "Patty the Bat Girl" interpret Little Red Riding Hood by Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs at the Red Raven has any negative memories of that song.
A-whooooooooooo
I'm gonna keep my sheep suit on,
'Til I'm sure you've been shown,
That I can be trusted walkin' with you alone.

Don't all relationships start this way? LOL

And his "Alone Again, Naturally" is one of the most depressing songs I've ever heard!

But his "Get Down" was pretty cool...

I agree. "Sugar Shack" is a great song. Very catchy beat.
