"Love Will Keep Us Together", by The Captain and Tenille. Dead, dead, dead last.
Sorry Jeeves, but "Muskrat Love" has that one--and all other contenders--beat:

Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
Doin' the town and doin' it right
In the evenin'
It's pretty pleasin'

Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land
And they shimmy
And Sammy's so skinny

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love

Nibbling on bacon, chewin' on cheese
Sammy says to Susie "Honey, would you please be my missus?"
And she say yes
With her kisses

And now he's ticklin' her fancy
Rubbin' her toes
Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes
As they wriggle, and Sue starts to giggle

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love
La da da da da ...

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

I remember all too well when Jimmy Carter humiliated the nation by having The Capt. and Tennile perform "Muskrat Love" at an official White House function.

Almost as funny as his frenzied defense against the killer rabbit.

to be fair...it was written by America..and they changed the original lyrics from "doin' the dirty, doing it right" to "doin' the town and doin' it right"

gee...I wonder why?

Are people objecting to the song "Muskrat Love" or the cover done by Captain and Tenille?

Cuz America recorded it first

Absolutely "Muskrat Love" is my nominee for worst. I believe it hit Billboard #6 for the year 1976. That is just a statement of Toni Tennille's ability to deliver a song.
