(27,247 posts)And no list is complete without some Paul Anka, Neil Sadaka, Barry Manilow and Beach Boys songs, as well as just about any rap or disco song.
My current vote for a mainstream song goes to "God Only Knows" by the Beach Boys
However, some anonymous rap song I heard in a store the other day with the lyrics, "I'm gonna kill you, bitch" has got to rank as one of the very worst songs ever written in the history of the world.

(8,217 posts)However, I was travelling through Texas and this song that went "Monta Mami" over and over again, ticked the heck out of me.
That was the worst thing I've heard by far... Which was close to as bad as "I want to f--k you in the a-s"... Which just repeats itself over and over also... Which was highlighted in a commercial at one point, with a foreign family listening and jamming to it, without knowing what it was saying.
Yeah, I hear the craziest things sometimes.

(66,462 posts)I tell you, the urge to find something tall to jump off of is never stronger than when I have to hear that awful, awful song, and its awful, awful singer.
I find it amusing that country music is supposed to be this macho, red-blooded-male American music, but most C&W singers sound like adenoidal eunuchs.

(4,056 posts)Their "harmonies" sound like someone is squeezing 5 cats at once. And final irony: nothing could put one in a less sexual mood than listening to that song!
My African American friends had Marvin Gaye. We got the Starlight Vocal Band. How could white people ever think they were better in any way????

I said alright? she said, love me, love me love me
Undercover angel, midnight fantasy
I've never had a dream that made sweet love to me
Undercover angel, answer to my prayer
You made me know that there's a love for me
Out there, somewhere

(21,977 posts)Don McLean was asked in an interview what "American Pie" means ...
He said, "It means I never have to work a day in my life ever again."
The piano riff on the turnaround before the chorus is worth keeping the song.

(206,044 posts)If I had to vote for the worst and most agonizing earworm of a song, ever, it would have to be the one from several years back, "Condoleezza Will Lead Us." I hesitate to even bring it up...
