OK, DUers...now the worst song of the 80s...

[CanuckAmok]

Of the top of my head, I'd have to say "Union of the Snake" by Duran Duran, or possibly "Da Da Da" by Trio.

[liberalhistorian]

1. Oh, God, where to start?

There were SO MANY bad songs in the 80's, particularly from '86 on!

[dolo amber]

2. We Are the *%(#)$ World

Hands down. No further debate needed.

Thank you, you've been a wonderful audience. Goodnight! :hi:

[camero]

32. I second that

That was absolutely the worst one.

[NightTrain]

3. Rock Me Amadeus

I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate that fucking song! :grr: :nuke: :puke:

[CanuckAmok]

4. Don't hold back, NightTrain...tell us how you really feel...

[liberalhistorian]

9. Geez, Dean, is it safe

to say that you don't really like that song, lol! I couldn't agree more, btw, that is one fucking AWFUL AWFUL song!

[populistmom]

14. You beat me to it

That is one ridiculous song. :puke:

[Breezy du Nord]

5. I used to love Da Da Da!

My dad would play it and I'd laugh so hard at it. Of course, I was only 4 back then, so I could see how it would've gotten on your list.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

6. I Need a Hero

It always felt like a military recruiting song.

You've Got to Fight for Your Right to Party--
It was the middle of the Reagan administration, horrible things were being done in the name of the U.S., and you've got to fight for your right to ...PARTY?

[CanuckAmok]

7. Doctor & the Medics' version of "Spirit in the Sky" comes to mind...

n/t

[NightTrain]

8. The Stars on 45 Beatles Medley

What a fucking travesty that thing was! And it even managed to spend a week at #1, fer chrissake. :puke:

[liberalhistorian]

10. OMG, I had most

mercifully forgotten about that total piece of shit song! And you couldn't get away from it the summer it came out, either, that fucking damn song (if you can even call it that, btw) was EVERYWHERE!

The worst thing, though, was that my stepsister (who's my age) LOVED it (she had no taste, then, obviously!), and whenever she visited that summer we always fought over keeping it on the car radio, especially when we were on vacation with our parents.

[K8-EEE]

20. Oh God You're Right, Stars On 45!

They had a whole bunch of those SONGS WITH A CLAP TRACK!!!

ARRRGH!

[bubblesby2002]

11. Just about anything by Duran Duran...

eeewwww. they stink stank stunk. And they're trying for a comeback?

What are you playing on your show tonight?

[CanuckAmok]

13. Well...as a matter of fact...

Tonight being the first Saturday night of the month, it's all cover versions!

I wasn't going to spin it, but just for you, I have a particularly vile version of a Rock 'n' Roll classic as covered by Duran Duran on the b-side of a Japanese-only 12".

What is it? You'll just have to tune in and find out...muah hah hah...

[bubblesby2002]

16. You know, I'm going to try and stay up, but if I fall asleep

(cuz I'm sick) will you tell me what it was? tomorrow?

[short bus president]

12. "I Just Called to say 'I Love You'"

:puke:

[K8-EEE]

15. Ebony And Ivory

AND the Paul McCartney one, The Girl Is Mine...UGH!

[CanuckAmok]

18. How about "Say Say Say"? That stunk, too.

n/t

[terrya]

17. "Puttin' on the Ritz" by Taco...

A stupid remake of a classic song.

Terry

[Pale Blue Dot]

19. "I've Been To Paradise"... but I've never been to me

Was it Charlene? God what a piece of crap song.

[K8-EEE]

23. Was Torn Between Two Lovers 70s or 80s?

Def belongs on one of the worst of lists!!

[NightTrain]

24. 1977.

One of the worst years ever for Top 40 music!

[NightTrain]

21. In 1995, I created a rank-ordered list of what I then considered...

...the 50 worst records of the '80s. If I ever find the damned thing, I'll post it.

[DoctorBombay]

22. Tie between all the songs Wham ever recorded

Too hard to pick just one...

[liberalhistorian]

25. LOL!

They certainly put out enough pieces of shit, didn't they?

[NightTrain]

27. Wake me up before you go-go

You've got me hangin' on like a yo-yo. :eyes:

[CanuckAmok]

26. Worst "Wham!" song? Easy: "Bad Boys"

Complete with a narrated verse by a woman professing her love of 'bad boys'.

Nothing else, even within Wham!'s catalogue, comes close.

[carols]

28. We Built This City on Rock an' Roll - Jefferson Starship

How such milquetoast drivel could come out of a band with a woman who once sang "White Rabbit" is beyond me. That song didn't even qualify as rock and roll...Gracie should have stuck with whatever pills were making her small...
Carol

[MrSlayer]

29. Another tougie. Anything from Poison or Stryper.

All glam bands were horrible but those two were at the top of the hated list.

[jus_the_facts]

30. The Curly Shuffle and The Rappin' Duke.....

.....the tie from HELL! :puke:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

31. Let's Get Physical

:puke:

[camero]

33. "Everybody wants to rule the world"

Stooooooopiid song. :puke::puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[Lady President]

34. "Everybody Wang Chung Tonight"

This was the first horrible 80s song to come to mind. Now "Everybody have fun tonight. Everybody Wang Chung tonight" is stuck in my head.

[FARAFIELD]

35. funkytown

that song sucked 'nuff said

[mykpart]

36. Don't Worry Be Happy.

Blecch!

[devilgrrl]

37. Eye of the Tiger

:puke:
