Worst Hit Radio Single Ever Recorded

[Jeffrey Michael]

Although, to this day, there are a lot of songs that I despised growing up, (I know, I’m going to piss a lot of people off with this one) I hated American Pie by Don McLean. Also, I didn’t much like Rock On by David Essex but this one eventually grew on me.

Feel free to Post as much as you like with as many songs that you can remember. I know I will.

Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” ?

(...actually maybe that’s the BEST hit single ever recorded )

I honestly always hated "you light up my life" by Debbie Boone....OMG...and I still hate it...thank God they never play it.

I honestly always hated "you light up my life" by Debbie Boone....OMG...and I still hate it...thank God they never play it.

I always sang it this way...
"You, you light up my pipe...you give me dope....to smoke on...you fill up my lungs...with smoke......"

I’m with you on that one too.

Here’s another one. Reunited by Peaches & Herb. It didn’t feel good to me.

The Purple People Eater [Haven Dance version]:

Hahaha! The Purple People Eater turned into Barney!

I wasn't crazy about "Rock On" until I heard the quad mix. It's...otherworldly, to say the least. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you haven't yet heard it

While hate is such a strong word to use here, I know I certainly could have lived a long and fulfilled life without ever hearing Minnie Riperton do ‘Lovin’ You’...

[hafquark]

Joanie Sommers - Johnny Get Angry

Maybe not the worst, but it's a contender.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

And for those that aren't familiar with this song...it was a hit

 

[atlantasteve]

"Having My Baby" or "Feelings". I feel better now.

Thanks for that! Whatever the quality is in there that triggered you must be one of the same things that triggers me. Eagles?

Anyway, my submission would be The Final Countdown by Europe

tiny tim would certainly get my vote as #1 most annoying of all time.

I always thought 1975's "Run Joey Run" by David Geddes was pretty cringe-worthy.



Another one off the top of my head from 1974: "Billy Don't be a Hero" by Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods

Cute story. When I was in college my friend Pam brought Tiny Tim who was a friend of hers to our student cafeteria [after hours] and he sang Tip Toe Through The Tulips for us among other ditties. Surprisingly, he had an excellent voice but off in the distance were the jocks who I think wanted to rough him up. He was a sight. He called me Mr Ralph and Pam was Miss Pam.

When Tiny Tim married Miss Vicki LIVE on the Johnny Carson Show my dad [ever the jokester] broke out a bottle of Pink Champagne and we toasted the nuptials.

Muskrat Love by Captain and Tennille. Makes me want to vomit to this day. 'nugh said.
