Lovin' You, Minnie Riperton.
That would be my choice. How in the universe did she hit that note?
Lovin' You, Minnie Riperton.
Can I just throw in the entire Barry Manilow song catalog?

Hey, leave Charlene alone, you big bully.

That's not old! I could drink in '76. Of course I was only 19, that being in the short period when the drinking age was lowered to 18.Wow. you could drink in 1986? LEGALLY?
Zoinks, Rob. You're just so....old.
I was drinking legally in 1973. Illegally for a number of years before that, natch. Segue to my years on the road in a band and how we had to learn disco songs if we wanted to eat ...Wow. you could drink in 1986? LEGALLY?
Zoinks, Rob. You're just so....old.
Wow,
that Disco Duck song is hilarious. I thought it was a joke, but apparently, they were serious

There's so much musical mediocrity in the world - mumbly, angsty indie, faux-sincere torch ballads, tuneless simpering crooners, dead-eyed Cowell-clone warblers - that it's a tricky choice. But I think a truly bad song should be about passion. It should instill in you the baleful desire to inflict a savage beating on every single individual who ever bought it. And what does that better than Crazy Frog?
It strikes me that there's a huge dichotomy between censorship in movies/tv and in popular music. Just look at some of the lyrics in these songs we're posting about, and they get played over and over on mainstream radio where anyone of any age can hear it. Right now the main line of the chorus of a big hit by a female artist is, "I kissed a girl and I liked it." Even group names are out there. The Scissor Sisters, for example, is a lesbian sexual position and every top forty drive time dj blithely rattles their name off without a second thought.You know, that was my favorite song as a little kid and naturally I had no clue what it was about. I used to bellow it at top volume, and now I wonder what my parents thought of having a second grader running around the house singing about nooners.
Worst song? All I Want to Do Is Make Love To You, by Heart. Hands down. It's like a courtly love ballad, except with more hairspray.
What are the poetic elements that makes this a wonderfully bad song, class? Let's count the ways. She picks up a hitchhiker! She takes him to a motel! It was a place "she knew well"! So she's a harlot who habitually takes strange men to this motel!
Moving onto the depiction of their sex. He brought the woman out of her, so many times, easily! They walked in the garden and planted a seed! She sees him years later and he recognizes his own love child! How can you beat that for the worst song ever?
