American Pie and MacArthur Park are right up there. There are worse but I’ve never been able to listen long enough to find out the name.
They do know how to ruin a groove.
I cut out after fifteen seconds
I hate to blow you all out of the water like this BUT.

Yes, a second vote here for MacArthur Park.
And how about Blinded by the Light (Manfred Mann) and Boys are Back in Town (Thin Lizzy…and I had to look that up)
Ebony and Ivory is high up on my pain chart.
Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald wins most boringly repetitive melody.
Both still better than rap, though.
This post is already working my last nerve. I need to go scratch a chalk board or something.

Maxine Waters – I’m Your Private Dancer
Saturday in The Park by Chicago is on my list.
As far as I was concerned, they died with that tune.
Love the prior stuff, still do, but SITP was just plain wrong.
I’ll link this to get the taste out of mouth, left via Brad’s submission.
C’mon Brad, you’re killing me.

Right up there with humpty back camels.
YMCA, I don’t know who sang it but I hope I never hear it again.
“The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” by Roberta Flack. Good grief I hate that song with every fiber of my being.
A close second is “Loving You” by Minnie Ripperton.
Step away from the keyboard….

Regarding Saturday in the Park,
I hate the lyric.
I “think” it was the 4th of July.
Really?
You don’t know if it was 4th of July or not?
We’re you drunk? Stoned?
And it’s 4th of July but a guy is “singing Italian songs.”
Sing your Italian songs on Columb.. Indigenous People’s Day, like
every other good Italian.
Speaking of Thin Lizzie, Jailbreak.
“Tonight there’s gonna be a jailbreak. Somewhere in this town.”
Somewhere in this town? Had they ever stopped to consider that a jailbreak would, by definition, occur at the fucking jail?
OK. Joe Cocker, you are so beautiful sucks huge rubber donkey dicks. And that other ‘you’re beautiful’ song by ????? Let’s just say any song with the word ‘beautiful’ in it. Like up,up and away with my beautiful, my beautiful BABOOOOOOON!!!
I apologize in advance.

Bad_Brad, I had mercifully forgotten that song existed. Thanks. 😉
The Pina Colada song, Loving You by Minnie Ripperton, and Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree, which launched the awful curse of the never-ending awareness ribbons.
Slow Ride, by Foghat
If ever there was a song to put on continuous loop at gitmo, this would top my list of Geneva Convention violations.
Also, please add the title and band when posting. Every time I click on a YouTube link right now I’m getting political ads before the video, most of them democrat and anti-Walker. I’m sorry, but I won’t be click on YouTube links for a few days.

Hey!
I saw this in a post up above- “…#comment-979707”
Is the millionth comment on the horizon? I didn’t realize the comments had numbers.
But it does sound like there could be a big event coming.
For a song recommendation- anything by minnie riperton or whatever than screaching banshee’s name was

Proud Mary! Used to be when everyone was juiced up enough at weddings this song would be played. No one wants to see Uncle Louie “rollin on the River…”. Now I leave before that can happen.
ANYTHING by Queen, which will AGAIN be over-played because of yet another movie. They sucked in the 70’s but were over-played, then Wayne’s World had to bring back that POS “Bohemian Crap-Sodomy” and now they’ve dedicated an entire movie to the third rate glam-band.

(the instrumental intro is insipid but not cringe-worthy, so the above is cued to start at 1:42)
Baby I’m-a Want You by Bread. Maybe I’m-a crazy but lately I’m-a praying I never hear that song again.

Totally agree about “Blinded by the Light”. Insane organ background drives me over the edge.

Just like some people will sleep with anything, some people will listen to anything. Jarreau makes the most awful faces when he sings.
How about some John Denver?
https://youtu.be/r_vt1KIV8zQ
This post just goes to show you, there are probably more bad songs than there are good songs.
Bad_Brad November 3, 2018 at 4:41 pm
yep…trumpets don’t sound right in a R & R band. Dire Straits said that in Sultans of Swing: “it ain’t what they call Rock & Roll”.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPYese-Hl8M
This is just awful….barf!
Speaking of Thin Lizzy. Jailbreak.
Tonight there’s gonna be a jailbreak. SOMEWHERE IN THIS TOWN. Try the jail, moron. Pretty sure all jailbeaks happen at the jail.

Hey Jude – The first 2 minutes suck, then 5 minutes of repetitive La, da, da, da da da make me puke.
2nds for Layla – same reason.
Any song with the word ‘beautiful’ in it. I don’t care if it’s Joe Cocker, you are so beautiful, that suck ass song that came out a few years back, or the Fifth Dimension flying up, up and away with their beautiful BABOOOOON.
Suckage on stilts

This little exercise is really giving me a headache.
I’m spinning around in the mid-60s right now, and there was so much crap coming out, there is no way to make a list. Mrs. Brown had a lovely daughter, but the song about her sucks.
Back in the 50’s, so many songs used the word “part,” meaning break up, etc. Why? Because it was easy to rhyme.
I have never used “part” as a verb, other than “part my hair.” (Hmmm, been a while since I said that, too.)
@AnnieGirl. You’re a sadist.
Agree with most everything so far, but I think my all time worst…I’m gonna break somethin’ if that keeps playin’…is “Paradise by the Dashboard Lights”.
I’d link to it, but then YT is gonna be suggesting it to me for the next 3 weeks. And I WILL break somethin’…
Pretty much any song with “dancing” in the lyrics.
Leo Sayer has TWO of them.
-You Make Me Feel Like Dancin’
-Long Tall Glasses (You Know I Can’t Dance)
Add his 2 other hits and you have, I submit, the worst 4-time hit artist.

Slim Whitman…Indian Love Song. Thank you all for playing.
Anyone here remember the dreadfully abhorrent Teen Angel?
Yep and it sucked. I hate all those weepy teen angst songs from the 50’s. Crying In The Chapel by Elvis sucks as well. Blue Christmas also by Elvis. And The 3 Bells (Little Jimmy Brown) by The Browns makes me cringe but the worst is anything by Bobby Goldsborough or Pat Boone. Imagine by John Lennon, or Yoko Ono for that matter, In The Year 2525 by Zager and Evans, One Tin Soldier by Coven, Afternoon Delight by The Starland Vocal Band, Muskrat Love, just because. And probably way too many other one hit wonders and stinkeroos as well.
@PHenry, Yup! I wouldn’t mind seeing the movie again, but not if I have to hear that song!
Oh say can you see.
Yeah douchebag. You’d like the National anthem better if it started with Jose’
I’m offering up a gift of kindness to you. Here’s a hanky. You’ll need it Tuesday night.
Now slither off to your safe space.
anybody called ‘You’re Having My Baby’ yet?
or ‘I’d Like To Buy The World A Coke’? … ‘with apple trees & honey bees & snow white turtle doves …’
or ‘The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia’?
or ‘You’re So Vain’? …. ‘you probably think this song is about you’ … IT IS, YOU MORON!!!
“anybody called ‘You’re Having My Baby’ yet?”
YESSS!!!! I HAAAATE that song. And Sweet Caroline, in addition to all of yours.

Don’t care who sang it, hate it.
Soft Cell. The entire group, every song.
Everything from Tears for Fears. Everything. But mostly ‘everybody wants to rule the world’
or …
‘Christmas Bells’ … “Merry Christmas mein friend”
‘Chuckie’s In Love’
‘Judy In Disguise’ … my little brother’s first record purchase … I ‘accidentally’ broke it … really!
‘Pop Goes The Weasel’ … always hated that song since my first Jack-In-The-Box
‘My Ding-A-Ling’ … worse song EVER from old perv, Chuck Berry
Whooo let the dogs out?
Shut!… Shut! Shut! Up!
Seriously, any song that ends up stuck in my head usually morphs into a polka beat.
Grandma got run over by a reindeer…
Carly Simon. All of it. Giant bony head, huge jaws, big teeth and everything she sang through them is off-key.
She was only put on the radio because her family is Simon from Simon & Schuster.
I would LOVE to roast the current decade, but I quit listening to the radio around 1990. lol. So when I hear music in the car, I’m not caring who sang it, I just skip them.
oh …
& Ravel’s ‘Bolero’ … so tiring … Zeppelin did it better w/ ‘Kashmir’
& for all the ‘Layla’ haters … admit it, the song’s much better w/out that insipid piano coda

@geoff the aardvark: Actually The Three Bells by The Browns is a schmaltzy second-rate knockoff of the original French song, Les Trois Cloches. Here’s a version (in French) sung by the legendary Edith Piaf which knocked my socks off the first time I heard it. I wouldn’t have believed a tiny 4′ 10″ woman could outsing a whole chorus of French guys, but she did:

Terry Jacks I think
I think we just created a K-Tel infomercial here. The best of the worst of the one hit wonders.
It’s a good thing Al Jarreau is dead because I’d probably try to kill him after that video.
Every song mentioned on this post is wonderful compared to any song that the feces-for-brains, Bruce Springsteen, has ever sang.
Hotel California. January of 1977. Moving from west coast to east coast in the coldest January ever in a Uhaul with a broken heater. As one radio station faded out, playing that song, the next radio station faded up playing that song.
And the miniseries Roots played that week.
And Jimmy Carter was sworn in during that trip.
That was definitely a low point.

I’d almost include the Bee Gees Stayin’ Alive but it has one saving attribute. For some reason, anybody who has heard that song (and who other than undiscovered Amazonian Indians hasn’t) when they “play” it in their heads they get the tempo very close to the original recording. And that tempo is exactly the right tempo for CPR compressions. You might help somebody stay alive by humming Stayin’ Alive as you give ’em cardiac compressions.
Aw Al, stayin alive is kinda cute…

Hey, Eugenia! Long time me no see!
“Honey,” by Bobby Goldsboro. It’s not just the horrifying banality of the original that kills your brain cells but the ever increasing banality of all of the sickening covers:

That should leave you guys screaming for mercy. I’m sure the Swedish language version is a real treat. It could take the place of waterboarding.
Well, yeah, a glorious list of stinkers. I gotta admit. Honey is HORRIBLE
Hey MJA! I think life is back to abnormal now.
The Plutonium Kid,
What did you do in 68?
Eugenia, Drop kick me Jesus thru the goalposts of life is awful. I have a pastor friend who absolutely detests that song. No one mentioned all the other so called crap Jesus songs from the 70’s like Are you on the top 40 of your Lordy, Lordy, Lordy by Sha Na Na, Jesus is just all right with me by the Doobie Brothers, Oh lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz by Janis Joplin and anything from Jesus Christ Superstar or the Godspell musicals.
Eurythimics – Sweet Dreams (Are Made of this).
Can’t stand it, and I can’t figure out what instrument is used to do those short bursts of ugly sound throughout the entire song.
“Everybody is looking for something”…well, many of us have found it in God.
“Some of them want to abuse you, some of them want to be abused”…Lennox and Stewart must live on the sick and seedy side of the tracks.
Claudia November 3, 2018 at 6:44 pm
The Morning After – about the pill?
Some of these songs could be combined to make even more horrible sounds:
“The Morning After Muskrat Love”
Rubber Man Band or Rubber Band Man.
Feliz Navidad.
Tim Buktu — GENIUS. Will put this up tonight.

“The First Time Ever I Heard You Fart”
“The First Time Ever I Saw You Pick Your Nose”.
Jimmy November 3, 2018 at 6:12 pm
There was a very odd rock song (supposedly rock) from Europe in the early sixties that has yodeling in it. Yes, that’s right, YODELING. I guess it was from a Swiss or Austrian band. It was very strange.
@Tim Buktu –
“The First Time Ever I Saw You Fall Asleep in your Chair and Drool on your Shirt and Snore Louder Than a Garbage Disposal Full of Spoiled Brussels Sprouts”
