Worst Songs of All Time

1	Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs	Woolly Bully	How in the world was this a hit song?
2	Abba	Fernando	I like Abba. But not this.
3	Ace of Base	All That She Wants	Sure "The Sign" is more cloyingly catchy, but this lyric is so lame!
4	Adam and the Ants	Strip	"We're just following ancient history, if I strip for you, would you strip for me?"
5	Adams, Bryan	Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?	Yes I have, not that that's any of your business.. An awful song from an awful movie.
6	Adams, Bryan + Rod Stewart + Sting	All For One (And One For All)	Hmm. An awful song from an awful movie. I'll forgive… Sting.
7	Aerosmith	Pink	They tell me this is the worst of Aerosmith's 90s' output. Fine. Just don't ever play it for me.

9	Animotion	Obsession	I don't have the words.
10	Anka, Paul	Having My Baby	Who are the marketing wizards who commissioned this one?

12	Ashford and Simpson	Solid As a Rock	Cheese.
13	Astley, Rick	Never Gonna Give You Up	Howdy Doody promises NEVER to let you down. Ever! Okay, sure Rick.
14	B-52s	Love Shack	I'm ambivalent. At least they don't take themselves seriously.
15	Baltimora	Tarzan Boy	This was a hit?
16	Bangles, The	Walk Like an Egyptian	Good band for two albums. Sadly, this was their biggest hit.
17	Basil, Toni	Mickey	I can't get it out of my head. And that video! Eeew.
18	Beach Boys, The	Kokomo	I can't get it out of my head. And that video! Eeew.
19	Beastie Boys, The	Fight For Your Right To Party	Who would of thought these beer swilling idiots would be capable of greatness?
20	Beatles, The	Revolution #9	Who would of thought these pot-smoking idiots would be capable of greatness?
21	Bee Gees, The	Tragedy	In retrospect, they recorded a lot of great music. This stunk.
22	Bega, Lou	Mambo #5	Annoying city.
23	Blood, Sweat and Tears	You Made Me So Very Happy	Melodramatic pap.
24	Bolton, Michael	How Am I Supposed To Live Without You	Perhaps the most over-the-top performance in a career of stultifyingly bad performances. The world's most soulless soul singer.
25	Bon Jovi	You Give Love a Bad Name	I guess people thought this was rock music? Combining the worst of Springsteen with hair metal. Yecch.
26	Boone, Debbie	You Light Up My Life	Melodramatic religious pap.
27	Branigan, Laura	Gloria	80s synth pap.
28	Brown, Bobby	Ghostbusters 2 Theme	Too cold to hold, too violent to marry.

31	Cetera, Peter	The Glory of Love	"I am a man who will fight for your honor," sung in a chipmunk's voice.
32	Charlie Daniels Band	The Devil Went Down to Georgia	Another guilty pleasure. Certainly one of the stupidest songs ever written.
33	Cher	Half Breed	Speaking of stupid. How has this woman had a career as a singer? I don't get it.
34	Chumbawumba	Tubthumping	People I respect like this band. I don't get it.

46	Duran Duran	Wild Boys	Always liked this song even though I knew it was awful.
47	Dylan, Bob	Lay Lady Lay	Contrary to popular belief, Nashville Skyline is a good album…except for this.
48	Easton, Sheena	Sugar Walls	When all else fails, sell sex. I don't blame Prince though; at least he had a career before and after this dreck.

50	Escape Club	Wild Wild West	Bad 80s synth pop.
51	Europe	The Final Countdown	THE cheesiest 80s hair metal song.

53	Four Seasons	Big Girls Don't Cry	The title's enough.
54	Fox, Samantha	I Want to Have Some Fun	Posing topless in Brit newspapers made this a hit in the US?

56	Franklin, Aretha	Who's Zoomin' Who	Trying to sound contemporary didn't work.
57	Frey, Glenn	The Heat Is On	Never should have stopped singing laid-back country rock.
58	Gaynor, Gloria	I Will Survive	"And then you came from outer space." You'd think women would pick a better anthem.
59	Genesis	I Can't Dance	They should have quit 10 years before this.

65	Hall and Oates	Maneater	Pretty annoying.
66	Hanson	MmmBop	Maybe it wouldn't have been so bad if they had stopped playing it after the millionth time?

69	Hart, Corey	Sunglasses at Night	Guilty pleasure -- but boy is it bad.
70	Henley, Don	All She Wants to Do Is Dance	I used to like him, but this song is the pits.

74	House of Pain	Jump Around	Dumb frat party anthem.
75	Houston, Whitney	I Will Always Love You	The worst vocal performance ever. Singing loud doesn't equate to singing well.

77	Idol, Billy	Flesh For Fantasy	Guilty pleasure. The lyric is awful.
78	Iglesias, Julio and Willie Nelson	To All the Girls I've Loved Before	Love Willie. Hate this.
79	Iron Butterfly	Inagadadaveeta (sp?)	Endless. Responsible for 20 years of heavy metal.

81	Jackson, Michael	Heal the World	Hard to believe no one said, "Uh, Michael…"
82	Jackson, Michael and Mick Jagger	State of Shock	Unbelievably bad.
83	Jackyl	The Lumberjack Song	Hey, I've got an idea -- let's use a chainsaw in all of our songs!
84	Jagger, Mick	Let's Work	Work is fun. Work is good. Let's work.
85	Joel, Billy	We Didn't Start the Fire	Maybe people will like this song because they'll recognize some of these events on this list. I hope they ignore the fact that the song isn't about anything.
86	John, Elton	Can You Feel the Love?	Just how low can he go? To think he was one of the best songwriters of the 1970s.
87	Johnson, Don	Heartbeat	Almost as good as Nash Bridges.
88	KIS*S	Lick It Up	Always hated KISS; this is the bottom of the barrel.

97	Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam with Full Force	Head to Toe	Bizarre 80s trend begun by the evil Gloria Estefan.

99	Los Del Rio	Macarena	Don't know this one.
100	Loverboy	The Kid Is Hot Tonight	I'm sure they had worse songs, but this will do. Red leather pants and bandannas.
101	Lynryd Skynryd	That Smell	Great lyric.
102	Manilow, Barry	Copacabana	And just who shot who? Who shot WHOM, Barry.
103	MC Hammer	Pray	I thought it would be hard to pick the worst Hammer song. Then I remembered this piece of garbage.
104	McCall, C.W.	Convoy	Nothing like a trucker song.
105	Meatloaf	I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)	Rarely has melodrama been taking to these heights/depths.
106	Men At Work	Be Good Johnny	Enjoyed the band. This song is so, so bad.
107	Midler, Bette	Wind Beneath My Wings	"Did you ever know that you're my hero?" Words fail me.
108	Milli Vanilli	Girl You Know It's True	Yes, I think this is worse than "Blame It On the Rain." How I made that call is beyond me.
109	Moody Blues	Nights In White Satin	Zzzzzz.
110	Morrissette, Alanis	Ironic	Sounds better than "You Oughtta Know," but the incredible stupidity of the lyric is nearly beyond belief.
111	Murphy, Eddie	Party All the Time	Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Funny.
112	Murphy, Walter	A Fifth of Beethoven	Here's an idea -- classical disco!

116	Ocean, Billy	Get Out of My Dreams and Into My Car	Read the title. Enough said.
117	Offspring, The	Get a Job	Everything they do annoys, but here they picked one of the worst Beatle songs to pilfer and manage to make it worse.
118	Osborne, Joan	One of Us	Wow, that's deep. It's like Jewel wrote it or something.
119	O'Sullivan, Gilbert	Alone Again (Naturally)	Nothing like a song about throwing yourself off a building.
120	Parker, Ray Jr.	Ghostbusters	Horrible AND plagiarized from a lousy Huey Lewis song.
121	Parr, John	Naughty Naughty	Terrible song and perhaps the worst video ever.
122	Pointer Sisters, The	Neutron Dance	Awful.
123	Poison	Every Rose Has Its Thorn	Aw, the hair metal boys are sensitive. "Every cowboy sings the same sad song." And educational, too.

136	Roth, David Lee	Yankee Rose	Diamond Dave without someone to temper his idiocy.
137	Salt N Pepa	Push It	Anyone know of a more annoying dance song?
138	Scandal	The Warrior	Guilty pleasure. The lyric is awful.

140	Sir Mix-a-Lot	Baby Got Back	Disgusting. It's not funny.
141	Smashmouth	All Star	Shiver.
142	Smith, Will	Will2K	For debasing one of the greatest songs of all time, for repeating the Puff Daddy formula for the zillionth time, for using the most annoying cultural reference of our times… I condemn thee Will Smith.

153	Styx	Mr. Roboto	I am the "modren" man. Not a typo.
154	Summer, Donna	Love to Love You Baby	Since when are porn soundtracks hit singles?

157	Taco	Puttin' on the Ritz	Could he be more irritating?
158	Tag Team	Whoomp! There It Is	Yuk.
159	The Andrew True Connection	More More More (Part I)	One of the most vacuous disco songs of all time.

163	Van Halen	Hot For Teacher	Insipid.
164	Vanilla Ice	Ninja Rap	Good career move.
