Oh, so many. A few off the top of my head
I listened to some of Viggo Mortenson's music--ack! He's a better poet, for sure.
Having My Baby Do You Think I'm Sexy. (I'm sorry, but you have to be WAYYYY sexier than that to get away with singing such a song!) Kung-Fu Fighting.

Do You Think I'm Sexy. (I'm sorry, but you have to be WAYYYY sexier than that to get away with singing such a song!) haha. That's a guilty pleasure for sure. It's funny how his drummer, Carmine Appice (Vanilla Fudge, Cactus...), heard a song called "Taj Majal" performed by popular Brazilian musician Jorge Ben while on tour. He liked it so much that he used the string section melody as the "inspiration" for this song, unbeknownst to Rod, who eventually had to give up 100% of the money made by "Sexy". Ooops! I have a really enjoyable but hokey version of this song from a school band in Oklahoma (Douglass High), which can be found on the compilation Schoolhouse Funk 2: Raw Business

It's rad.

I guess anything by anal c***. (Exepet for their song "I just saw the gayest guy on earth") Buckettovsissors - Symbiosis Buck Metalica - Nothing else matters Panic! at the disco - I Write Sins Not Tragedies James Blunt - Your beautiful And i guess any of that annoying "Hip Hop" we have today [But i love the old school] Oh yeah, and Grindcore music. How about Anal C***'s touching ballad "KYLE FROM INCANTATION HAS A MUSTACHE!!!" That one is so insanely hilarious to me. The only one by them that I can really listen to, but there's not much difference among their songs. My 5 picks for worst songs: "Tubthumper," Chumbawumba (This is the mobius strip song from HELL!) "Barbie Girl," Aqua (Yeah, I know, it's a joke. It's a novelty song. I'm not laughing.) "Kiss From a Rose," Seal (Oh, my god, I don't even know why I hate this song so much. It has this undefineable quality that makes me want to proclaim that music is dead.) "Heaven Is A Place On Earth," Belinda Carlisle (How many freakin' times can you say the word 'heaven' in the same song???) "This One Song I Just Heard That I Don't Know The Title Of, But It's As Generic As a Toothless Rock Ballad Can Possibly Get," Survivor "Don't Wanna Miss A Thing," Aerosmith (Okay, maybe this is the "Survivor" song I heard.) "I Kissed A Girl," by I Don't Actually Remember and I Don't Really Care (Yeah, I liked this song for a second. Now it has to go bye-bye.)[/b] I need clarification. Is this the new "I kissed a girl...", or the old one, featured on a Beavis & Butthead episode? Butthead // "Hairy Behemoth? She said he's got a hairy Behemoth!"

"I Kissed A Girl," by I Don't Actually Remember and I Don't Really Care (Yeah, I liked this song for a second. Now it has to go bye-bye.) There's another song by this same whoever (I forget her name too). Something like "you're in but you're out, you're up but you're down" and a whole bunch of opposites like that. Very sad that you don't need talent to make millions.

^^ That would be Katy Perry. She's not great, but she doesn't make me want to rage like some of the other artists around nowadays. The song that you're thinking of is called "Hot and Cold," I think, and features such poetic lines such as "You PMS like a girl that I know."
As for people who are filthy rich and really have NO discernable talent whatsoever, I'll toss Miley Cyrus into the ring. Now, at 22 I'm really too old to honestly have anything against a 16 year old pop star, but I swear to God I have woken up to "The Climb" probably six days in a row now. I don't know if every radio station gets together at 6 AM and says, "Hey, stevehadcrackers' alarm is gonna go off now, let's play The Climb!" Words can't describe how I hate that song. It's everywhere and it won't go away and it's terrible. And that little girl performed at some teen awards show on a stripper pole with her dad in the audience. THINK OF THE CHILDREN.

Any song perform by Disney Channel stars. I also hate We Are Family by Don't Know Artist's Name. It's too slow.

That stupid song that everyone in middle school was obsessed with, Summer Girls by LFO. It included the infamous chorus: "New Kids on the Block had a bunch of hits, Chinese food makes me sick...I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch". No thank you.
A columnist for my school paper a few years back wrote this hilarious editorial about how A Horse with No Name by America is the stupidest song ever. I don't mind it, but I can see how one wouldn't care for it.

I don't mind it, but I can see how one wouldn't care for it. The columnist is a juvenile dope. My sister talked to me about the latest party that she was a server for. I believe she said it was a wedding reception for a Indian family. She said they played Indian music that would easily transform into rave. She also said that, for the white party guests, they played "Cha Cha Slide". When she said that, I rolled my eyes because I've heard that turd far too many times and would see all the dopes at the tavern I went to get up and do their "dance". She noted that when "Cha Cha Slide" came on, all the white guests got on the dance floor and all the Indian guests got off of it. Apparently, the Indian guests had class.

Any song perform by Disney Channel stars. They all creep the hell out of me. They're just so...plastic. And, of course, they're either sexed-up to a point where it just doesn't seem legal, or they've got some kind of cultist sentimentality. It just seems so wrong. I'll stay far away from the Jonas Brothers, I'm happy listening to the Neville Brothers (at least they've got talent). I'm going to use that Neville Brothers comment to segue into my next topic, if you don't mind. What passes for R&B these days really just disgusts me. I'm a diehard fan of the classic Soul bands and artists from the genre's heyday. Dr. John, Tower of Power, Ray Charles, the Average White Band, Earth, Wind, and Fire, Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, Aretha Franklin, the list goes on and on. However, despite the stellar past of R&B, today we get.... Beyonce?! I mean, what the heck are we think handing over Soul to a group of "artists" who let their computers sing for them? Seriously, it's just disgusting, and makes me want to vomit. No joke.

IAnd since we're talking about terrible covers of great songs, how about terrible songs that sample great songs? S.O.S. by Rhianna samples the backbeat of Soft Cell's "Tainted Love" which itself is a remake (woah! just went meta...). Being in college and going to bars, I had to hear that stupid song every night I went out (I would just start singing "Tainted Love" whenver it would come on).

Seriously, it's just disgusting, and makes me want to vomit. No joke. Right on the money. Today's "R&B" stars aren't fit to set up the microphones for their predecessors. Some songs are horrible because the artist/songwriter isn't very talented or because they play to the lowest common denominator ("Macarena", for one). Other songs are awful because the artist/songwriter is actually very talented, but for some reason, released a lemon. And it stands out because the rest of their output is so good (see also "Revolution #9" or "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da"). Take, for example, The Flaming Lips. I love the Flaming Lips, and Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots is one of my favorite albums. So I'm not happy to say that "It Overtakes Me" from the At War With the Mystics may be the most annoying song ever written. When I first heard it, I thought, "This is a joke, right?" It's one melody--that's cheesy at best--repeated 70 times in a 6 minute song. The lyrics are awful, the singing is bad, and the instrumentation is grating. Like Mike Nelson said once, it's one thing for Hal Warren to make Manos, and we all see it as the worst movie ever. It's quite another for George Lucas, with all of his credibility, resources, and legacy to come out with "The Phantom Menace". From a certain perspective the bed-crapping from an otherwise talented artist is far worse than a terrible artist making terrible art.

I don't mind it, but I can see how one wouldn't care for it. The columnist is a juvenile dope. The way they tore it apart was funny, but I could think of at least 10 other songs that I'd qualify as "The Worst Song Ever" before I'd pick A Horse With No Name.

I'll stay far away from the Jonas Brothers, I'm happy listening to the Neville Brothers (at least they've got talent). More like they start out flashing their purity rings around and vowing that they're as pure as Snow White, then they tart themselves up. Case in point: Miley Cyrus. She started out as a wholesome, squeaky-clean pop singer for little girls to look up to. Then she pierced her nose (which isn't a big deal at all, but it still resulted in a lot of pearl-clutching), posed with her bare back exposed in Vanity Fair, and pole danced on television. I sound like such a prude, but the whole sexing up ones image (and it's usually the girls...you don't see the Jonas Brothers pole dancing) is so not worth it. I know one could make an argument that this has been going on since the 50s-60s (though I can't think of any legit examples now), but I feel like the envelope keeps getting pushed more and more nowadays. Hell, even Madonna writhing around on the floor in a wedding gown is fairly tame compared to Britney Spears' current tour, which just consists of her prancing around onstage in skimpy outfits, while lip-synching an Auto-Tuned song. *gets off soap box* Oh...other bad songs? -Cold Turkey - John Lennon. Partially because of Yoko's wailing in the middle of it. -We Built This City - Jefferson Starship. This is probably my #1 choice for Worst Song Ever. The video just makes it worse.
