What Are The WORST Songs Of All Time?

    • |
We had the sad song thread, so why not go with the ugliest, worstest (is that a word?), nails scratching chalkboard tunes?

There are a few that I can't stand, but here are two that stand out BIG off the top of my head.

1. Muskrat Love - America, Captain & Tenille (projectile barf!)

2. Lovin' You - Minnie Ripperton (when she hits that high note my blood pressure hits new highs)


Everyone share your list of worst songs. Note: I'm mostly focusing on rock, pop, Christian, alternative and country as I don't really listen to anything else.

    Joe, there have been a lot of songs over the years that I didn't care for. Worst? That's kind of hard to say. It's all a matter of taste. One man's "worst" is another man's "I can listen to that all day."

    But here's a short list of my personal "worst" though this is by no means all inclusive or indicative of these actually being the songs I dislike the most. They're just the ones of many that I can think of right now.

    Jungle Fever - The Chakachas
    Puppy Love - Donny Osmond
    Sweet And Innocent - Donny Osmond
    I'm Too Sexy - Right Said Fred
    Trogladyte - Jimmy Castor Bunch

    I'll stop there because this subject just isn't worth anymore of my time than I've already given it.

      That's the truth Steve. I can't listen to Carly Simon or James Taylor without my skin crawling. So my list would include anything by those two.

    There have been a lot of bad songs - too many to pick a "worst" one. On my list though, would be:

    - Paradise by the Dashboard Lights - Meatloaf
    - Two Out of Three Ain't Bad - Meatloaf
    - Tiptoe through the Tulips - Tiny Tim
    - Sympathy for the Devil - Rolling Stones
    - Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley

    Those are the first ones that came to mind. There are undoubtedly many others I wouldn't mind if I never heard them again.

      Holy smokes, never in a million years would I believe a human being would actually think 'Sympathy for the Devil' was one of the worst songs ever written and performed.

      Wow. Unreal

        Yep, when l hear her sing, "The Greatest Love of All" at the shopping centre, l cringe!

        I think well if you do love yourself that much, then why did you become a crack head and drown in your own bathtub?

        They need to remove and bury that song, it is just hollow lyrics!

      He made a part 2? Say it ain't so!

      The worst thing he did was expose the world to his kid. Billy Ray has actually done a lot of good things for people in need. He seems like a really nice guy from what I've seen. On the other hand, I can't stand Miley or anything she does.

        Unfortunately... he did. He even mentioned "The Wrecking Ball, Miley and Twerking" in this song.

      I agree with you about "Who let the dogs out", but I like a lot of PearlJam's music. I don't, however, like "Last Kiss", unlike some others here. I was living up there when the Seattle scene first broke and got to see a few bands, including Nirvana. I didn't see Pearljam until they came here, though.

    Don't be so mean.

    In high school we had a talent show and a girl did Lovin' You and every time she hit that high note everyone fell out laughing.

    She won 1st prize.

    Pearl Jam rocks but that Rebecca Black song is terrible! I gotta say I liked Fly Robin Fly as a kid growing up and I don't mind Who Let the Dogs out or I'm Too Sexy either. I could name what I believe to be terrible country songs from here to tomorrow...nope, not a big fan of many country artists!
