The worst part is that Starland Vocal Band received a Grammy for Best New Artist in 1976 thanks to the success of that horrid song. Who did they beat, you might ask? Boston, and The Brothers Johnson, among others.
And it won another Grammy for Best Arrangement of Voices.
Every single note of this song hurts, as does every second of this porridge-like video. Insurance should be taken out against it.
“Your Love” - The Outfield
“Your Love” is one of those songs that people don’t like as much after they realize what it’s really about.
Wowo, sappy and bad.
I love Afternoon Delight. Maybe you arent old enuf?
It get’s worse. The flip side of the 45 was an awful tune about a dying dog but it had lyrics that sounded somewhat porny.
I love that song, partly because the lyrics make it more interesting. Little girl, he told you up front. As you’re leaving, please won’t you close the door?
But even more tugging at the heartstrings is the way TJ sung “'Cuz my doggie…been hit…by a c-a-a-r-r-r-r…”
Eeeeewwww! 
It’s much better with the sound muted, though. 
I’m not sure I follow. Josie (presumably the narrator’s wife or girlfriend) is far away on vacation, so he wants to ‘use’ another woman for a sexual liaison. He likes his girls a little bit older, so 16 instead of 14? Okay, just kidding about that part. But what’s significant about closing the door?
It’s just cold. Basically, don’t come around here no more.
As this thread got revived, I was reminded of my teenage years working at a stationery/tobacco store, where the manager insisted on having Ottawa’s main easy-listening station playing during business hours. What I noticed then about such stations is that the charts never changed. I was there for a couple of years and their playlist was identical when I left as it was when I arrived. In addition to the studied blandness–“Soft and easy favorites…for when company comes over.” said one announcement–the ads were largely for funeral homes (thirty-four years later, I can still hum “McAvoy Shields/Funeral Home and Chaaaa-pel/Caaa-ring for people.”) with the occasional anti-abortion spot sprinkled in. To think of the songs now cause me pain: “My Eyes Adored You,” “We Had It All” (there’s a spot in hell reserved for Ronnie Milsap), plenty of Anne Murray and, for some inexplicable reason, a cover version of “Light My Fire” that seemed to have been transposed into a major key and had all the edges sanded off.
One time (ONE time) when I was behind the counter, they played “Sleep Walk” by Santo & Johnny, which is actually a really beautiful instrumental track. I was kind of transfixed, and was waiting for the song to end so that I could find out who the artist was. There was a couple standing at the counter, with smiles that seemed almost ominous. The second the song ended and the DJ announced who the song was by, both people in front of me began yacking loudly over top of it. It was years before I heard the track again and found out who it was. I’m sure whoever programmed the song that afternoon was promptly taken outside the radio station and beaten to death with lace doilies and sensible pantsuits (it probably took a while). A propos to nothing, but I just got to rememberin’.
Diana Ross - bless her heart - absolute Motown doyenne, stumbled badly with “Theme From Mahogany”, which got the proper treatment here with this instrumental version.
No, not kill himself, just about to die. True, that song could depress a hyena.
I’m old enough. That song is the musical equivalent of nails on a chalkboard.
Hey young or old - yeah, gross.
+5,000,000
Not technically a song, but the first chord of 1877Kars4Kids makes me reach for the off button.
In the Year 2525 may be the worst popular song ever
Ballad of the Green Berets may be the sappiest piece of soldier worship ever.
Yes, Seasons in the Sun has some of the lamest lyrics of all time.
Sappy and silly, I nominate Do You Know the Way to San Jose? I song can be catchy but still stupid.
Well, yes, for every sane person on this planet.
I believe the true purpose of the Kars4Kids commercial is to prematurely wear out the mute button and volume controls in car stereos.
