OK, since this is germane, here was a list I did two years ago
Now earwormed with "We are the chillllldren..."

Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
WBTC annoys me as a song, but I'm not sure why its considered 'selling out'
'Cuz they didn't write it. They paid a hit doctor to write it. Pure capitalist pig out. Which is not my standard for musical ethics, but certainly was theirs during the Airplane era.
Y'all don't know from bad. You don't have any collections of song poems & MSR madness: "Send your poem in and we'll set it to music!" That's where you find the genius of bad songwriting.

What is even happening?
Hec, what's MSR?
And I do know from bad. I *just* heard Dean Friedman's Ariel, over the weekend. [link]

I edited a link in. It's the company most associated with setting your poems to music. They had a genius composer/keyboardist named Rodd Keith who did these cool, snappy arrangements to the most demented/sentimental/political lyrics evah!

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Do they still exist? The temptation to send in song lyrics by a friend's super-grrr!stomp industrial band and see what they do is pretty strong.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Launchcast is playing "Rio" for me. They must be lurking here.

My personal height of badness has to be "Run, Joey, Run," by an artist whose name I forget. It's one of those '70s pop songs I always call "angel music," with the ethereal ahh-aaaahhhhs swelling in the background. It's about a girl who gets pregnant, and warns hapless Joey to run, because Daddy ain't going for that.
The chorus is:
Daddy, please don't, it wasn't his fault
He means so much to me
Daddy, please don't, we're going to get married
Just you wait and see
It doesn't end well.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
And we won't discuss my shameful addiction to a current silly goth/pop metal band from Finland.Nightwish?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Personally, I'm not even sure "We Built This City" is Jefferson Airplane/Starship's worst song. "Sara" at least gives it a run for the money.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
It doesn't end well.
Goodness, no. From the little you posted, that song is heading straight for a stalled car on the railroad tracks and/or the Tallahatchee Bridge.
