All Barry Manilow and Lionel Richie songs.

Kung Fu Fighting. If you didn't buy it and I didn't buy it, who the hell bought it?

Xanadu by Olivia Newton John, of course.

EVERY SONG BY THE BACKSTREET BOYS, NSYNC, NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK, THE JETS, LEIF GARRETT, RENE SIMARD, AND 90% RAP OR HIP HOP. pRETTY MUCH SOMES UP THAT ITS ALL BAD.

So many songs, and so little space. I am forced to pick the lounge lizard favorite, "Feelings." Followed closely by the ever-popular "You Light Up My Life." It makes me queasy just typing, those two songs.

She Blinded Me With Science by Thomas Dolby.

any thing by the new kids on the block

Muskrat Love

Cher: "Believe"

Insipidness is not enough. A truly awful song incites annoyance, then hatred, ultimately violence. The following make me want to take a crowbar to the radio: "Name Game" by Shirley Ellis, "Come on Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners, "Having My Baby" by Paul Anka. "The Real Slim Shady" by Eminem.

Choose any of the Eurovision Song Contest 'winners'

Anything by the Carpenters.

My vote goes to the Trashmen's "Surfin' Bird," a 1960s surfing, er, hit of such sublime awfulness that even rap starts to take on an elegance of almost Mozartean dimensions.

Muskrat Love - any and all versions.

Take Me Home, Country Roads by John Denver: 1) it's cloying, 2) the geographical features metioned in the lyrics (Blue Ridge Mountains, Shennandoah River) are located in Virginia, not West Virginia, and 3) it's John Denver.

When a Man Loves a Woman. Incredibly whiny, repetitious melody.

Louie Louie ---We were all duped by unintelligible garbage.

It'd have to be Depeche Mode's "Blasphemous Rumours." If you don't believe me, just listen to the chorus: "I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours/but I think that God has a sick sense of humour/And when I die/I expect to find/Him laughing." Oooooh...poor babies!

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy by the 1910 Fruitgum Company (I think) Ugh!

How about "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy, I've Got Love in My Tummy"

Joy to the World as done in by Three Dog Night.

The list would be too long, but the following songs would head the list: "Tie A Yellow Ribbon" by Tony Orlando and Dawn, "Candyman" by Sammy Davis Jr., and anything by Bread or Christopher Cross.

Helen Reddy's "I Am Woman." Just shoot me, please.

The Day the Music Died When will this song die? It was irritating and repetitive to start with, and then it was overplayed into the ground. I can't hit the mute button fast enough.

EVERY pop song. Only Jazz counts.

Flying Purple People Eater - a song, if one could call it that, that gained currency inthe 50's. Yuck!

Having My Baby. Thankfully, I have at least forgotten the name of the band who performed it.

Well here is my pick "Afternoon Delight" by I am happy to say I can not remember. It was bubble gum with sex. It just stuck to you like bread dough. When you released it from your body it made a mess

It's gotta be "I Think I Love You" by the Partridge Family. If not for utter inanity, then for its uncanny ability to get stuck in my head.

I'd vote for "The Heart Will Go On" - a truly awful song devoid of any emotional power - especially as performed by Celene Dion. She manages to over-sing it with even less feeling than usual.
