I just can't stand "Margaritaville"!!  I don't get the whole Parrot Head thing anyway.  It's a dumb song and I could beat my head on the steering wheel when it plays.

Anything by Michael Bolton (whom we affectionately refer to as the "Music Butcher."  Can't imagine how any record executive actually thought that guy had a voice.  I have to turn the radio off when he comes on - (I actually have most of the songs listed above on my IPOD - too funny) Kris in California

I'm almost afraid to admit it - but I like almost every song listed here.  Honey, Seasons in the Sun, Billy don't be a hero...holy cow those are some DEEP songs.  And Ice Ice Baby - THATS CLASSIC, WHITE BOY RAP!!   LOL...I don't care for tacky christmas songs (grandma, got run over...).  But the absolute worst song ever...I think its Clarence Carter "Patches"...about a boy whose father dies and the mom is "dependin' on you son"... I literally reach over and turn the radio OFF when it comes on at work (the only station I get at work is oldies, and thats the only place i hear this song). I hope you poll us tomorrow on the GREATEST songs of all time!!

I'll show my age here, but "You Light Up My Life" by Debbie Boone has to be one of the all time worst songs ever. Of course, that's just my opinion.

Great thread!  Some of these are truly heinous! I can't stand hearing "Leaving On A Jet Plane".  Reason:  They played it over and over and over and over and over at a mall I worked at years ago.  It got to the point that I was yelling out, "Get on the ******g plane and leave already!" For newer music, I can't stand "You're Beautiful" by James Blunt.  Even Weird Al's version "You're Pitiful" makes me wanna claw someone's face.  I think it's the music as well as the lyrics for this one.

Not to mention Sonny & Cher........I Got You, Babe.   Another 80's song. The Safety Dance. The video was horrible too. I could go on but I will try to stop.  I really like this post. Teresa M.
