Yesterday I saw a video of Hole doing a remake of “Gold Dust Woman” and it was, without a doubt, the most horrible thing I have ever heard.
My vote is for Greg Allman’s “Ain’t No Angel” or whatever it was called. “Let me show you my tatoos”?! Please, if there is a God in heaven, don’t let me see Greg Allman’s tatoos!

Anything else I can do to make you run screaming to the top of your local water tower with a deer rifle…well, you just let me know! 
- We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time*
BAAAARRRRRFFFFFFFF!!!
“…send lawyers, guns, and money…”
Warren Zevonoh please. None of this lives up to the awfulness of the Evil Anthem. You know the one.

One of the best artists ever and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Eric Clapton has created many, many memorable and great tunes.
I shall never be able to forgive him though, for “I Shot the Sheriff”.
Opal wins it, that is the worst song ever made…
Celine Dion is a close second.
Rats, I can’t believe I forgot Achy Breaky Heart.
I even heard Alvin & the Chimpmunks’ version of it!
UGH.
I prefer rogues to imbeciles because they sometimes take a rest.
Alexandre Dumas the Younger (1824-1895)
That ridiculous new LFO song: “Summer Girls.” It’s the one that goes something like:
“When I met you I said my name was Rich
You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch.
New Kids on the Block had a bunch of hits.
Chinese food makes me sick.
I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch…”
blah blah blah ad nauseum.
The lyrics DO NOT RHYME (they’re barely even near-rhymes) - and I REALLY hope A&F paid off the radio stations to play this lousy piece of crap. Criminy.
Where are we going?
And why am I in this handbasket?
I hate “Judy’s Turn to Cry” by Lesley Gore, about 1964. One line is about a girl who deliberately kisses some other guy–so her boyfriend will prove how loving" (sic!) he is by slugging the victim! Loving, hell!
Also, for similar reasons, “My Boyfriend’s back!”
I like “Last Kiss” by J. Frank Wilson, from 1965. He sings it as a sad ballad–which it is. I can’t for the life of me imagine what Pearl Jam did to it–or why.
“Honey” always makes me cry.
First, is “Last Kiss” the car wreck song?? Awful, that one.
I also loathe (as in slam the radio off and brush my brain after hearing)
“I Got a Brand New Pair of Rollerskates, You’ve Got a Brand New Key” WTF???
Absolutely anything by Billy Ocean, but especially “Hey! You!..Get into my car!” (hmmmm I’d rather have my entrails ripped out by starving weasels, thanks anyway)
Neil Young’s “After the Goldrush” - love Neil, but this song makes me postal.
“One Burbon, One Scotch, One Beer”(sorry, artists name escapes me).Can you say AA? Twelve Steps? I knew you could…
“Butterfly Kisses” ::::technicolor yawn:::::
Just a few of my worst songs list…
Oh,and I happen to love “Seasons in the Sun” 
Run for the hills, folks! Or you’ll be up to your armpits in martians!
Dougie, you must hate “Johnny Get Angry,” too–it’s about a girl who flirts with other boys so her boyfriend will become “a brave man/a cave man” and beat the crap out of her.
Even when I was a little kid and heard this, I thought it was creepy.
I never ever heard “Johnny Get Angry,” Flora, but I’ll take your word for it.
“If you drive an automobile, please drive carefully–because I walk in my sleep.”–Victor Borge
Dougie/Flora…
Here are the Lyrics to “Johnny Get Angry” (subtitle: “Beat me Senseless”) <–joke alert! joke alert!

While many of these songs are truly horrible, nothing reaches the depths of hell like the song “Nights in White Satin”. One note of that song leaves me screaming in agony.
What, no one has mentioned William Shatner’s rendition of “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” and “Tamborine Man”? “the girl with…<big>KAL</big>eidoscope eeyyyyyyyeees…”
“Eppur, si muove!” - Galileo Galilei
Zette, yes, “Last Kiss” is the car wreck song, recently covered by Pearl Jam.
Abd Opal, I agree with you about EC’s version of “I Shot the Sherriff.” It’s about the only song of Clapton’s I really, really dislike. Bob Marley’s version, though, is pretty okay.
“One Bourbon…” by George Thouroughgood (sic) and the Destroyers, Zette. Classic rockers who dog punk rock for having “only two chords” always love G. Th., yet his song, “Who Do You Love?” has only ONE chord!
Now I’ll call down the ire of all of Nashville by claiming All Country Music as the worst “song” of all time (Johnny Cash and certain of Willie Nelson excepted, of course).
I love sweeping generalizations that, on examination, turn out to be true.
Sorry, I should have been agreeing with ChiefScott on “I Shot the Sherriff.”
Those that leap to mind (and at my throat)
Muskrat Love - the Captain and Tenille have probably caused diabetes
Some 70’- 80’s songs where I have repressed the author\performer:
The Pina Colada song
Wildfire
Popsicle Toes
And anything by the dreaded Abba.
Am I showing my age (again?)
The reason gentlemen prefer blondes is that there are not enough redheads to go around.
Okay, I’m dating myself with these songs, but here are some songs that I’d like to have surgically removed from my consciousness:
- Wildfire - Stephen somebody (about a horse that dies in a blizzard)
- Feelings - Morris Albert
- Seasons in the Sun - Terry Jack
- Afternoon Delight
- That stupid song out now that has “swing,swing” in it.
