Worst song of all time

[standardtom]

In a fun burst of “opinions are like assholes,” CNN.com has done a few stories and a poll on the “worst song of all time.” ( Part 1, Part 2, some songs that were chosen, and various opinions about them, 1974: Creme de la creme of clunkers )

So, let’s have your opinions... what are the worst songs in history, in your (not-so) humble opinions?

“There's Got To Be A Morning After” by Maureen McGovern immediately pops to mind for me. “I Just Called To Say I Love You” sounds like Stevie Wonder is seriously toking helium, to the accompaniment of a broken circus calliope.

Friend-unit Tim timksweden observed to me years ago that "All I Need Is a Miracle" by Mike + The Mechanics should be titled "All I Need Are Singing Lessons."

So c'mon... let's hear 'em!

* Ahem... um... I will admit that I kinda like some of the songs on CNN's lists... *scuffs toe*...

"You Take My Breath Away" was by Rex Smith. Remember that horrible TV movie he did called "Sooner Or Later" about the teen girl who had the hots for him?

Rex Smith had Farrah Fawcett hair. My sister had his 8-track and I remember having to hear that song over and over.

Thank you!
I wrongly credited that....*song* to Eric Carmen. I remember the Farrah Fawcett luxurious bangs.
