I love this song. I love it and no one can stop me.
This thread is one year old today. “Happy Birthday to you.”
Once upon a time:
I took an job with a small manufacturing company that was owned by an older (in their '70s) couple. Their choice for a radio station was a low power AM station whose tag line was “Great songs and great singers of the '40s, 50s, 60s, '70s, and '80s.”
My initial reaction was, “Good, I should get to hear a variety of stuff.” They had five decades of stuff to choose from. There was a lot of great music made in that time span.
Wrong! I bet they didn’t play more than 40-50 songs. In an 8 hour day, you could sometimes hear one song three times. They were huge into Sonatra and Doris Day. If I never, ever, ever hear “Tammy” or “When I was Seventeen” ever again, it will be just fine with me. I wondered of their entire playlist was from a Time-Life boxed set.
The only stuff they played from the '70s or '80s was the Carpenters, so “On top of the World” make my ‘cringe when I hear it’ list.
That job could be described using the ‘frog in a pot of water where the temperature is slowly increasing’ metaphor. The music was just part of the torture.
I’m not sure if this counts since it was intended to be bad.
John Trubee’s “Blind Man’s Penis”. http://www.songpoemmusic.com/trubee.htm
Here’s an audio interview with Trubee which includes the song.

The short answer to this is, it didn’t. Look at post #42.
Ignore that last post. I got to the bottom of page 1 and failed to spot there were another two pages after.
