worst song ever

[gr8ful wes]

you are right about "doggy" It is hard to beat.

My award for most overused lyric is
"I'm down on my knees
Beggin you please"

Best use of rhyme, Black Sabbath
"Generals gather in the masses
Just like witches at black masses"

sickeningly sweet award
You light up my life, Debbie Boone

Most difficult to understand lyric, Help me Rhonda
"well since she put me out ????????
does it say "there've been owls sleeping in my bed", or what?

I am totally surprised that there has been absolutely no mention of any disco song either.
Who can forget classics like Disco Duck.

Over my lunch break I was just reminded of quite possibly the worst song ever. Do any of you recall that Paul Anka song "(You're) Having My Baby"? It's a 70's tune. Most very bad songs seem to have come from that decade, but this one is repulsive.

How 'bout those sappy Bobby Goldsboro tunes
Watching Scottie Grow, Honey, etc...
I cant believe people actually bought these records.

I believe that this song recieved the third most votes in Dave Barry's bad song survey. Thankfully, I have never heard it, though i'm sure it is quite bad.

As lyrics go, you'd be hard pressed to name one with more obscure verses than Richie Valens' "La Bamba". It's a catchy tune that has the power to make people spontaneously break out into dance, but the one verse, when translated, means:

I am not a salior
I am not a sailor
I am a captain
I am a captain
I am a captain.

Very meaningful.
