Magazine Publishes List Of "Worst Songs Ever"

New Media Producer: Kerry Corum

They may be catchy, and they may have been big hits - but they're also just plain bad.

Blender magazine has come out with its list of the worst songs ever.

Topping the list - "We Built This City," by Starship. Billy Ray Cyrus' "Achy Breaky Heart" was second, followed by Wang Chung's "Everybody Have Fun Tonight."

"Rollin'" by Limp Bizkit ranks fourth, followed by "Ice Ice Baby."

Rounding out the top ten worst songs ever are Huey Lewis and the News with "The Heart of Rock-and-Roll," "Don't Worry, Be Happy," Eddie Murphy's "Party All the Time," "American Life" and "Ebony and Ivory."

Here's my picks-

Only In America - Jay and the Americans

Danke Shen - Wayne Newton

The Lion Sleeps Tonight - Tokens

Sugar Shack - Jimmy Gilmer and the Fireballs

People - Streisand

Tell Laura I Love Her - Ray Peterson

In The Year 2525 - Zager and Evans

I'll probably think of more.

I'm not sure what the criteria is for this list, but it looks like they are rating the worst of the hits or most played songs.

Oh man, how could they treat any Huey Lewis song in the worst 50.

Excuse my ignorance, but is Blender an adult based magazine? I am trying to click a link for it and my company policy prevents me from looking at it.

Not that I could tell, but you can buy music from there, and you may be able to listen to clips. Might be considered a bandwidth hog by some admins.

By the way, it looked like you had to subscribe to see the 50 Worst List, but I didn't take the time to find it.

Completely agree about Huey Lewis.

Teddy Bear - Presley

How about any song since the 90's. I mean are any of the songs mentioned so far as bad as every song by Brittany Spears, "N SYNC, Janet Jackson, Eminem?

[nagash]

This list is pointless. There's so many bad songs you couldn't even choose where to begin!

I don't hear the newer music. I was basing my list on the songs I remember.

Pointless is fun, sometimes.

Me neither, WBR. Thats because there is so little good music now.

I suspect when they make the "Greatest hits of the Nineties" there will be a total of two songs on the album.

"Suger..[do do do do do do] Aw.. Honey, Honey"..
You ARE my Candy Girl..

Back in the late 70s Richard Simmons (yeah, THAT one) tried to make it as a rock star.
He cut an album of Beatles hits.

I've heard the "Hey Jude" part, and it just doesn't get any worse than that- worse that chalk on a blackboard.

I don't think it qualifies for our list though, because no one took it seriously.

"Sugar, Sugar" by the Archies, I believe, released in 1969, was my girlfriend at the time, favorite song.

For good 90's music, may I recommend The Crash Test Dummies or The Smashing Pumpkins for people who like a wide range of musical tastes.

This next one is wierd as I can't remember the name of the band, but I remember an album and one of the songs o_O.
If you're into rock, then look for an album called Ixne on the Hombre. The song that sticks out is Come Out And Play.
If you are familiar with that band then please post it (it's driving me insane trying to remember). For those not familiar with them, keep in mind while you're listening to them: most were going for higher degrees in college when they put that together!
