I'm sure not gonna rank 'em (I hate to even think about them!), but a bottom ten list without Bobby Vinton?

It's amazing that people have made so much money. Here's some additional suggestions...

Boogie Oogie Oogie Taste of Honey
Close to You The Carpenters
Africa Toto
Up Up and Away Paul Williams
Hungry Like the Wolf Duran Duran
Jump Van Halen (I know that will get some objection, but there are many,MANY, other tunes by Van Halen that are so much better)
Anything by Asia

Aztec Camera did a pretty good version of Jump -- the tone was somewhat ironic.

Especially the ones from those horrible movies! I'm an Elvis fan, but those were just awful.

wow. I like a lot of those. :shock:
Here are some of my nominations:

Su Su Sudio

I think it was J. Geils (whom I kinda like) did a song that had the line:
a-doo-doo-doo a-da-da-da is all I have to say to you.

Blondie:
Rapture

-- Scratch 8)


"...if heartaches were commercials, we'd all be on TV" -- John Prine

Although Angel is the Centerfold should be on the list, (J. Geils) The Doo-doo that you speak of belongs to Sting and the Police.

Achy Breaky Heart - Billy Ray Cyrus

You beat me to it...

I'd also like to add that N.E.R.D song "She likes to move" to the list. In my opinion, any song that includes the lyric "Her ass is a spaceship I want to ride" is ripe for derision.

Hmm... that wasn't supposed to be "donkey", but a word for that wonderfull bodypart we all use to sit down. :D

Actually, "Her donkey is a spaceship I want to ride" would be a better lyric than the original one, it has a kind of surreal quality. Probably wouldn't seem out of place in that song "I am the walrus" by the Beatles.

Hi. I agree that the songs you listed should be considered atrocities against mankind as well as the others submitted by others.
I thought of ten more.......

1. Afternoon Delight - ???(Little River Band?)
2. You Light up my life - Debbie Boone
3. Ebony and Ivory - Paul Mcartney and Stevie Wonder
4. Reunited - Peaches and Herbs (Ashford & Simpson?)
5. I write the Songs - Barry Manilow
6. Achy Breaky Heart - Billy Ray Cyrus
7. The Karate Kid Song - Chicago
8. Little Bitty... - Allan Jackson
9. Nobody Gets Much Heaven No More - The Bee Gees
10. Waterloo - ABBA

Where are the amnesty international human rights types and
Senate hearings when this stuff is released?
that's a pretty good list!

Don't Go Breaking My Heart (Elton John & Kiki Dee)
Anything by Nelson
Leaving on a Jet Plane
Please come to Boston
Celebration
It's Raining Men
Pretty Maids all in a Row - Eagles
In My Room - Beach Boys

I remember that one, and it was not somewhat ironic, it dripped with irony and sarcasm. Good call.
