“One Tin Soldier”
[Maxwell Smart] HA! Beat ya by That Much [/Maxwell Smart]
I do like a few of the songs mentioned here. To each their own, I suppose. Most of the ones brought up are indeed horrendous, however.
Someone mentioned “If You Want My Body” by Rod Stewart. I’m sorry, that’s a bad song, but I think that “Tonight’s the Night” trumps it, especially the line, “…spread your wings and let me come inside”. Ugh. A pickup line for the ages, no doubt.
Both versions of “MacArthur Park” are terrible, but the Donna Summer version gets bonus points on the grounds of, “why the HELL did someone remake this song?!” The first version almost falls into the category of “so bad it’s good”, since the lyrics are more silly than offensive.
I personally loathe “Summer Lovin’” from Grease. What makes it worse is that it seems that every time I go someplace that has an old-timey jukebox or a 1950s theme, it’s only a matter of time before someone plays this song. * “Tell me more, tell me more! Like, her ass, did you slap? / Tell me more, tell me more! Did he give you the clap?”*
However, my potentially unanimous pick for irredeemable song is: “Lament of the Cherokee Reservation Indian” by Paul Revere and the Raiders. Geccchhh. I’m part Cherokee myself and this is the one and only thing that makes me a bit ashamed of that fact.
Hey, I’ve been playing that game for a good 11 years, myself!
I spent a summer hearing it nearly every single day in a buddy’s car and I can’t stand it any more. I ditto the broken finger thing.
Unfortunately, about two months ago I was at the bar celebrating a friend’s birthday when some degenerate, wretched cocksucker played in on the fucking jukebox! Thank god I was drunk enough to block most of it out.

Oh well, in place of “One Tin Soldier”, lemme see, howabout “I’ve Been to Paradise, But I’ve Never Been to Me”? Has that been nominated yet?
Probably, given the rancor that song seems to inspire on these boards.
Just in case it has, I’ll throw in an alternate - “We’re Gonna Keep On, Keep On, Keep On, Keep On, Keep On, Keep On, Keep On Groovin’ All Through the Night” by the Brady Kids.
Whoa, good work. Keep it up, man! 
'Way back at the beginning in post #8, then commented on at #31 and by me at #34.
Fixed that for you.
On the show, Will Arnett plays GOB (pronounced “Jobe”), a sleazy, cheesy, and incompetent stage magician. That song plays whenever he performs, and it is even his cell phone ringtone. It’s much funnier actually seeing it – in fact, it’s the funniest show of all time.
Also, a British group called Black Box Recorder manages to make “Seasons in the Sun” kind of cool and even sexy, believe it or not. But lead singer Sarah Nixey could read cereal boxes and make it sound sexy.
*Love Beat * by the DiFranco family is my entry for this category.
