Heather -
I live in San Jose, and every time I take visitors down to Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco and see the big male sea lions on the docks just sunning themselves as if they were the just the sexiest things on the planet, I start singing "I'm too sexy for this dock..." I actually think the song is too funny. Whenever I start to feel too big for my britches, I hum it.
My daughter's name is Anna (Ah-na) and she gets that song all the time - from her step-sister and step-brother especially (in a good way - the kids all get along well). We had to put a stop to it when we got an Aussie named Tucker...
For some reason, the song, "I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts." It's sticking in my mind. I could certainly do without that...

Fisherman's Wharf- I have been there once in 82. We were driving up to Napa to see my grampa in the nursing home. I remember , you can feel the sea water on your face.
Tucker..........won't even touch that one.
There are a lot of songs we sang playing double dutch and egg beater in grade school that I don't remember. I wish I did.
Does anyone remember pig latin? You take a word, put the first letter at the end and then add an a. Example: pig would be igpa.
We used to talk to each other all the time like that. Took us forver to say a sentence.
We also used to do the "Which word is spelled the same frontwards and backwards? racecar
We must have been bored little kids.

OK, here are a few that might send a shiver up your spine and send you running for the barf bag:
Magic Man - Heart. All that teenage angst. "Mom I'm 13 and my boyfriend's 25 and he really loves me...you just don't understand!"
"She wore an itsy bitsy teeny weenie yellow polka dot bikini" Ugh
"Don't Go Breakin' My Heart" Elton John.
An upbeat song about begging someone not to hurt you?
I'm also with the poster who hates "Abracadabra" May I add that I also despise "Somebody's Watching Me?" I usually skip that segment of C&W because it gives me the willies.
Ted Nugent "Cat Scratch Fever" Kinda scratching my head over what it means but I hate it too much to listen to it to figure it out.

Okay, I am terrible with titles....
You know the song that goes..little red riding hood you are sure lookin good to me... It just makes me think of some pediphial(sp?) gross, yuck, ewwww. I can't even hear anyone tell the little red riding hood story without getting the song stuck in my head. This is going to haunt me all day, I'm sure.

I heard two of the worst songs back to back on satellite radio yesterday - so bad I had to listen. The first one was "Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmm" by Crash Test Dummies, apparently they just couldn't think of any chorus lyrics so humming was the only option!? Then came on "We Hate it When Our Friends Become Successful" by Morrissey. I had never heard that song before but the lyrics are so bad they're funny. "We hate it when our friends become successss-ful. We laugh at them, haha, haha, haha, hahahaha!" Nice friend you are!

Has no one mentioned "Paper Roses" by Marie Osmond?
And "You light up my life," a bit too sappy for me.
Does William Shatner's "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" even count (or is it SOOO bad that there is a totally different category for it?)
I know that Shatner, Telly Savalas, and Leonard Nimoy (and probably others) all came out with albums where they kind of talk through songs. Tower records has some "worst of the worst" song compils for sale with them on).
There are some current songs that would make the list, but I don't know their names. One that seems to come on my clock radio every morning is some tacky song about some woman's "junk in her trunk" and she sings about her "lump" and her "hump." Whatever happened to subtlety?
I actually like some of the songs others listed as "worst ever."

Kathryn, I heard a song on the radio recently - don't know what it was - with the line "I like your pants around your ankles". I'm no prude but I agree, where's the subtlety?

Oh, ma-an! I hate it when I discover a really great thread and it's gone on so long most of my answers have been "stolen". THAT attitude comes from living with teenagers who apparently invent bands and guard them jealously as if they should be their's alone.
My husband is a bit of a pretentious creature when it comes to music and he thinks only the music he likes has value. Classical, Blues, Greatful Dead, Dylan and my least favorite, ACDC. Apparently, if one can compose music, write lyrics it does not matter that one cannot sing in a pleasing voice. Many Bob Dylan songs I like, make me cringe and have spasms because of his voice. Now, I maintain that if it gives one pleasure, I don't care how godawful it is, it's okay. For you. Somewhere I'm not. I liked Mandy as well as all three of Tallchick's choices. And Jethro Tull is still trippy after all these years but having purchased a Jane Oliver CD (listened to and adored her before CD's even existed), I can attest to the fact that these once enjoyed songs need never be listened to again. In fact, to do so is to realize they are dreck and doesn't that just make much of our youth a waste of time? How sad is THAT? Anyway, I will be found singing, say, a song from Cats, seemingly with enjoyment, not that THAT makes it right. Unless YOU want to do it. I won't judge your taste in music even if I secretly feel mine's better. Just don't do it within earshot of me because I WILL sing it and then I will hate you for getting that going because you'll move on and I'll be stuck with the damn tune.
I'm a woman in love and I've gaine 38 pounds and I am no longer certain I EVER loved you in the first place, you filthy pig! Get the hell out of this delivery room.
Feeling HE should be taken out for catterwalling like a girl. Men don't feel.
Muskrats should be extincted as should The Captain and Tenille.
I hate Heart.
Olivia Newton John is the devil.
Afternoon Delight was used by my sister to torture me over a guy named Chuck but I ended up becoming desensitized to it after Anchorman came out because youngsters watch movies up to 9,000 times for a reason that is lost on me. Still, I volunteer to take care of euthanizing them because I have some free time tomorrow and I want to make the world a better place.

What marketing genius decided we needed to be serenaded with many of the above mentioned tunes while we buy groceries and how is they always chose the ones that make you wish you were dead? Why is Rap considered music when it's TALKING and only Bill Shatner does it in any way I find remotely interesting? That because something so bad catches one's attention and is facinating in the way a car wreck is although you'd never catch me stopping to stare because that's plain sick?
Why have so many old rockers not died of drug overdoses only to stick around when they need to retire?
Did you know Paul Simon is an egomaniacal ass and listening to interviews with people you think you may like will ruin them and their body of work for you so quickly it's not funny?
Why are oldie stations allowed to exist when it turns our so much of that music underlines the Buddhist thought about not dwelling in the past but living in the present moment? Must I be reminded that Bill Zintarski used me to make a friend feel bad when she and I had a crush on him in the 7th grade and that he used Stairway to Heaven to do it?
These are the ramblings of a chronic insomniac and I deem my least favorite song to be Escape. That guy is a loser!
I do like Mozart and am amazed by him although he too was a loser. It's a fine line between genius and being a loser. Still, it is sad when a great talent self-destructs. It's why all these truly horrific songs get to pollute the airwaves. Good Lord, Madonna and Brittney Spears have made millions and they both should have sung the muskrat song because they'd not have needed synthesizers to do it. So many real musicians barely scrape out a living from their craft the these people are Pop Culture Icons? Only One Hit Wonders who do this to us once get my nod and it's a cranky one at that. Create the swill, sell it to a confusingly adoring fan base and then move on.
I am now going to go and smack myself for liking Mandy. When I am alone in my car, most often I drive in silence. I let my children be in control of the music played in the car. At times, I will threataen to pull over and get out if a song is not changed. I can tune out if I allow mysef to be distracted but it's very difficult and most often I just deal with it and drive too quickly.
Music may have been ruined for me.
My favorite song right now is Sail Away by David Gray but I do not know if it is truly a good song, or bad. I think I still like Diamonds and Rust by Joan Baez. I am mocked for that.
I go now to play Don't Fear The Reaper......

LOL
A lot of the songs you guys hate are song I enjoy, just because of where I was when they were popular. Kung Fu Fighting was a favorite to dance to in college because it was so dumb. My friends bought me a 45 of it. 45's? Remember them? Yummy, Yummy, Yummy was one of my first 45's. And I love anything by Simon and Garfunkle.
I love Buffett, but he definatly recorded one of the worst ever songs.
Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw. I know it was kind of a joke, but I always had to skip that one when my kids were little.
