Now that is just silly. I actually don't care for the song at all, but to call it the worst is just foolish.
Would listing turds such as "Love me Do," "I Want to Hold Your Hand," "Octopus's Garden" or "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" make you feel better?

High school dances....2nd base right on the dance floor. Good memories right there, man.
Miracles by Jefferson Starship. I can't change the radio station fast enough whenever it comes on.
The category is worst songs, not songs that you personally hate. There are so many other songs that have boring melodies, unimaginative chord progressions and arranging, off key singing, poor instrument tone, bad lyrics etc.
PS. I can't stand Maxwell's silver hammer or Octopus' Garden.

In a related vein, Pat Boone absolutely butchered a number of classics on his "In A Metal Mood" album.
McArthur Park. Even though written by the great Jimmy Webb, it blows chunks.
Richard Harris????? Waylon Jennings. Donna Summer.
Doesn't matter who sang it. It SUCKS.

Horrendously 'over-the-top' bad song. Actually everything put out by the Bay City Rollers would qualify as bad, all time horrible music IMO.
Gonna list one that may be somewhat controversial whether it's really bad, or simply a very different novelty song in the late 80's. LOVE SHACK by the B52's.
I hated it the moment I first heard it and have never changed my mind. Even today, there are many who love it and think it's one of the better party songs of all time. Sorry, I'm not one of them.

You Light Up My Life -- Debbie Boone
Ballad of the Green Berets -- Barry Sadler
Ringo -- Lorne Greene
Feelings -- Morris Albert
Disco Duck -- Rick Dees
Anything by Michael Bolton
For the poster who listed both Midnight at the Oasis and The Night Chicago Died in the same post, the songs are not only bad, but they are lyrically inaccurate. In Oasis, there is not a desert in the world in which both camels and cactus appear. And in Chicago, there is no "East Side" of Chicago. That would be Lake Michigan.

I'd say that "Conquest" is FAR more objectionable than Tribute to Troy. Maybe that's because the Condoms play it something like 100 times every game. Literally.
Kind of agree. Its good the first time you hear it, but gets repetitive. I was cringing the last couple times i've heard it in the car.
Agree! That shrill reaching into my spine and violently makes me ill.
The Cardigans "love me" song does the same.
Also that god awful hit by Bruno Mars downtown funk must have the most brilliant marketing manager in the world behind that
Head East - Never Been Any Reason
93.7 WBUS plays this song like 20 times a day and I can't stand it anymore. Hopefully, there is a reason they do. We used to listen to the WBUS at work and swear this came on every hour.

You must be about my age if you remember that.. what was that 1966 or so... Did you know that Archie Bells brother was a starter on the u.Houston BB teams that beat UCLA with Lou Alcindor?
