My personal all-time worst song: "Old Time Rock & Roll" by Bob Seger.
Anya ,'Showtime'
Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Yes, also the classic "Mr Krushchev said we will bury you/I don't subscribe to that point of view". I keep thinking the time is ripe for someone with very bad taste to do a cover of "Russians", only rename it "Muslims".
"Old Time Rock and Roll" is indeed vile.
Though Right Said Fred's I'm Too Sexy got in, such novelties as Macarena and Who Let the Dogs Out, which by design are cheesy, were nixed.
"I'm Too Sexy" wasn't intentionally cheesy?
And for worst song, I'd vote Three Dog Night's "Joy to the World." I've set land speed records to change the radio to anything else.
I am secure in my belief that the worst song ever is "Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro.

Yes. This.
I don't think I know it, but that's okay. Do not share the crappy songs.
See the tree, how big it's grown
but friend it hasn't been too long
it wasn't big
It's about a dead wife. And a tree.
One of those songs I love to hate is "Nuclear Attack" by Europe. What sort of things rhyme with "nuclear attack"? Glad you asked. How about "The world will crack." And, profoundly, "You can never go back."
Meara, Anne has a bunch of CDs in her possession -- she let me know she'd be sending them on to me soon.
I'm all for "We Built This City" being the worst song ever. I loathe it. Last time I was out for karaoke, someone sang it, and I learned that the mystery lyric I never knew was: "Manconi plays the mambo."
I think I liked it better when it was a mystery.
Why is the Will Hung song not cheesy?
