I did catch a Beach Boys concert in the early 70's that had the captain playing piano. Won't say he was not talented. Quite the opposite. It was the song......omg! Now I can't get it out of my head!!

Maybe some tunes by Da Yoopers will act as an antidote!

Yea, yea! Icy Fish Baby!

Hot And Nasty by Black Oak Arkansas with Jim Dandy

You gotta watch this if not just for a laugh. What a great singer :rotflmao:
They did have a great drummer tho Tommy Aldridge who went on to play with Ozzy and many others.

Gotta agree with the earlier post that I also have no musical taste. Many listed here as the "WORST" song ever are at the very most mediocre.

I would say that many of them fall into the "annoying" category.

There are so many bad songs out there that never got released by various bands that are unknowns that put any of these songs listed into the Hall of Fame Category. I always remember watching when one of the Afternoon shows back in the early 70's (Merv Griffin?) where they had a segment where the Guest was somebody fairly famous in the Music business (Can not remember who). He had looked into what he felt was a fraudulent record label. It was one of those things where the record company would encourage people to send their songs in, then they would send a response back that said the music showed promise and to send in more examples along with some sort of "Administrative Fee".

The guest intentionally wrote a horrid piece of music and sang off key. All I can remember was the refrain "In San Ber- na -dee-noooo". This thing was truly hideous.

The company said for a couple of hundred bucks they would love to publish this wonderful song.  :o

I not sure as classify this song, the dance is fine, the singing sound very exotic:

Nope - not it. The version I heard was a fairly slow Ballad.

Thanks for trying though.

Shame that Black Oak clip didn't feature a bit more of Mr. Dandy playing the Air Sheep.
Unless you've seen that man cut loose on a washboard, well, let's just say your cultural horizons need broadening.

After going through this with my wife, she says You light up my life has to be on this list. Disco Duck is a close second. either will cause brain rot and insanity if listened to for more than 30 seconds.

I would like to nominate "Puppy Love" by the Osmonds and "Rockin' Robin" by the Jackson 5.

"Shiny Shiny" by Haysi Fantayzee.  It is the 1980s equivalent of the "It's a Small World" theme song at the Walt Disney World Orlando Theme Park ride.  Actually, I nominate that song also.  Not too many of my friends back in the day could stand to work at that ride, even to cover for someone who was sick.

The old saying that after a while, it just becomes background noise and you no longer hear it is NOT TRUE in the case of that song.   :bomb:

Probably the next song blasting from the car next to me... Playing music I have no interest in...

Let's see that would probably be thousands (or at least a few hundred) (Nah, it's probably in the thousands)

(Worst songs are like an infinite bag of potato chips, they just keep coming)

Almost forgot "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" by the lovely Nancy Sinatra:

I don't think this song would have got recorded without Dad's connections and money.
