Isn't the East Side of Chicago, like, Lake Michigan?

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
"The Night Chicago Died," not least for the reference to the non-existent East Side.
The East Side would be Lake Michigan, wouldn't it? Is this the time to mention The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I have made my case before for "Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro, although "Having My Baby" is certainly a contender. The people who picked "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" clearly haven't listened to enough bad songs.

"Honey" is awful. I was thinking along the lines of "Who Let the Dogs Out."

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Worst song of all time? Either the Titanic song, or that Whitney Houston "I-eeeeeeee-EYE...will always love YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" song.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Oh, if you want to talk about "dead girl" songs --
"Teen Angel"

I can't even.
Along the same lines, I was thinking of the Bryan Adams schmoopfest "Everything I do (I do it for you)", which has the added nega-charm of being from Prince of Thieves, the Costner Robin Hood. IJS.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Everything I do (I do it for you)
Hey now, no slagging on my favorite song from 5th grade! (And I've actually never seen Prince of Thieves, but something tells me I should stay far, far away...)

"I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing," by Aerosmith, reliably sends me diving to change the radio station

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Didn't we have this same discussion a few months ago when there was another "worst song ever" list published somewhere? (and ob-la-di... was at or near the top of that one too, IIRC)
