Here is a link to a CNN.com article (http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/04/19/eye.ent.worstsong/index.html) on the worst songs of all time. It brings back a lot of memories.....mostly bad. I have to agree tha Bobby Goldsboro's "Honey" is in the top ten. What others would you add to the list?

Here (http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Music/04/21/worst.songs.comments/index.html) is the follow up article, but I still don't see the worst of all:

We had joy, we had fun.
We had seasons in the sun......

The Captain and Tenille's "Muskrat Love". Being a family board, I cannot describe here what that song, a hockey mask, and a fully loaded chainsaw could make me do.

Anything by Sade comes a really close second.

I actually liked "seasons in the sun". I always thought a few of the worst songs were "Nothing compares to you"by Sinead O'Conner, Brand New Key by Melanie??, "I want to love you all over" by Exile??, "Elivira" by ???, " Here you come again" by Dolly Parton. Obviously someone liked these as they sold a lot, but in my opinion these are horrible. I don't know if I got all the titles right.

Oh, no. "Smoke Gets in your Eyes." I was snowbound in a cabin for 2 weeks with 3 people who couldn't stand silence, and that was our only record.

Nickel Back's
"photograph"
The local radio's Morning show does a running joke with it ..one of the DJ's is exceptionally good at impressions and whenever there is a mention about Nickel Back he usually goes in to a parody of the song. It's the only way I can take that tune.

"This is where I went to school,
This is where I took a crap
This is where I blew chunks"

Good songs made sucky by sucky people. Like Merv Griffin singing Piano Man, or Steve & Edie singing anything (Steve smarms his way through while Edie inevitably forgets the words -- why did they get famous???)

The exception to that rule is if it's bizarre enough to be entertaining, like William Shatner singing(?) Tamborine Man

Along that line, I ran across an album of Sebastion Cabot reciting Bob Dylan lyrics -- to an appropriate musical accompaniment, of course. Truly weird ...

Unfortunately, no. The closest I can come to that is my older sister has a compilation of these oddities. Shatner, Nimoy, Sebastion -- a few others I can't remember. Frankly, I'd love to have copies of all of that stuff just for the freakishness of it. Somewhere I have a grainy VHS recording of William Shatner on the Mike Douglas Show singing (for lack of a better word) "It Was A Very Good Year".

Folks, now that's entertainment :)

I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung, wanna pull out your tough
'Cause you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh baby, I wanna get wit'cha
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But with that butt you got makes me feel so horny
Ooh, Rump-o'-smooth-skin
You say you wanna get in my Benz?
Well, use me, use me
'Cause you ain't that average groupy
I've seen them dancin'
The hell with romancin'
She's sweat, wet,
Got it goin' like a turbo 'Vette
I'm tired of magazines
Sayin' flat butts are the thing
Take the average black man and ask him that
She gotta pack much back
So, fellas! (Yeah!) Fellas! (Yeah!)
Has your girlfriend got the butt? (Hell yeah!)
Tell 'em to shake it! (Shake it!) Shake it! (Shake it!)
Shake that healthy butt!
Baby got back!

"And IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII.....will always love uuuuuuuuuuuuuu....." Whitney. Crack indeed.

"Near....far....where ever you are.....", The Titanic Song. The only thing that could have improved that movie is sharks.

Detachable Penis.

Axel-F/The Crazy Frog song. Okay, the only thing worse than a annoyingly catchy synthasized tune that gets stuck in your head yet you can't sing along with, is adding to it the vocals of a crazed frog on a moped.

99 Luft Ballons. That a lyrical masterpiece right there.

Yup, WH kinda made a mess of that one. Linda Ronstadt recorded a really good version of that song in 1975. It's on her "Prisoner in Disguise" album. It was pretty horrifying the first time I heard Whitney's pop bombast version.
