S_A_T_U_R_D_A_Y Ni-Yite or whateverthehell it was from the Bay City Rollers. Howard Cosell may never escape purgatory for brining them to our attention.

Song Sung Blue by Neil Diamond is the worst, closely followed by "Tie A Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Old Oak Tree" by Tony Orlando and Dawn. This group also did the third-worst song of all time: "Knock Three Times."

Probably nobody remembers this, but when I was a kid there was a horrible song on the radio by some English group called "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose its Flavor on the Bedpost Overnight?" Even thinking about it now drives me crazy. Then there was "Ahab the Arab" by Ray Stevens. Another sonic torture was "Those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days of Summer" from sometime in the 1960s. I can't recall the performer, and I don't want to.

Maybe there are songs worse than "Stairway To Heaven," but they are by people like Manilow or the Osmonds that are too easy to pick on.

Mr Blobby, Aggado, The Birdie Song, The Smurfs, etc.. Need I go on?

Billy, Don't Be a Hero - I can't remember the artist's(?) name (Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods - JI). It came on the radio every hour on the only radio station I could pick up in western Kansas back in the early 70's.

Seasons in the Sun --- A dark day for Canadian music.

One Tin Soldier Title Song to Movie "Billy Jack."

Seasons in the Sun by Terry Jacks and that horrible "Pina Colada" tune by Rupert somebody (Holmes - JI). "Billy Don't Be a Hero" --- I forgot who the singer was (Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods - JI). These are just several examples of truly grotesque songs from the 70's. I grew up in that decade and I'm still trying to block it out of my mind.

Having My Baby. For me, nothing else comes close. I'd take repeated listening to an 8-track tape of The Archies over this terrible piece of work.

Just feed 'worst songs' into your favorite search engine. Almost as many lists as entries.

The Lion Sleeps Tonight by the Tokens is particularly nauseating.

Afternoon Delight by the Starland Vocal Band has to be right up there.

How in the world could I pick just one?! You don't have enough hard drive space on your web server to begin with!

I'm Not Lisa

La Vida Loca

I'm very aggravated at a local self-declared "classic rock" radio station that lately has been playing a lot of Foghat, especially "Slow Ride" quite often.

Indiana Wants Me by R. Dean Taylor. Redefines the adjective, "pedestrian."

anything by lauper,madonna,nirvana,houston,springsteen,korn,backstreet boys,COLLINS,petty,spears,crows,nin,ac/dc,gnr,zombiemanson,etc.etc.etc.etc.make my point.

In the past 2 and a half years, corporate radio has been bombarded with such a bevy of major label, bubble gum sludge, it is now impossible to pick a worst pop song... the ranks have gown exponentially since the release of the latest NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, and Brittney Spears albums.

Gotta be "Love Shack" by the B-52's. brutal.

Watching Scotty Grow never fails to impart to me the urge to retch. Same goes for "Honey."

A Horse with No Name by America.

Jefferson Starship's "We Built This City on Rock'n'Roll" is the most irritating thing ever recorded.

The song in Mars Attack that kills the marsians. Don't know it's name.

Britney Spears - Oops I did it again. You sure did, girl.

That awful song from the late 70's by those Captain and Tenille look-and-soundalikes that went "we can thank our lucky stars that we're not as bright as we'd like to think we are!"..Yech!!

With sooo many "boy bands"...it's hard to narrow it down to just ONE song.

Turn on MTV. Yeah, I know it hurts. See Britney. See Britney's tits. This isn't music folks, it is corporate aesthetics designed to sell. Just one example of many similar "artists." We all know and hate 'em.

The Macarena. I would rather stick my tongue in a food processor than to hear that thing again.
