Can't argue with that. But "We Built This City" was king of suckdom.Originally Posted by TeamCasey
I will add another vote for "We Built This City." My brother and I found the song to be so awful, the only way we could tolerate it was to make up new words, resulting in a song called "We Built This Country (On the Principles of the Constitution!)." I think we got the title from some humor publication, like National Lampoon or Mad Magazine or something and decided to run with it. I only wish we had written down the words, so that I could remember them now.
Enough with the Starship bashing. Nothing comes close as close to suckdom as Billy Ocean. "Get outta my dreams (and into my car)," now there is an awful song.
Others worse than We Built This City:
Cherry Pie- Warrant
Cover Girl - New Kids on the Block
Crush on You- The Jets
Wishing Well- Terence Trent D'Arby
Electric Youth- Debbie Gibson
Union of the Snake- Duran Duran
Heartbeat- Don Johnson
Joanna- Kool and the Gang
Tarzan Boy- Baltimora
Hey!! "We Built This City" was my favorite song when I was little... Well, that and the Ghostbuster's Theme.Originally Posted by Larkin Fan

This list begins and ends with "She Blinded Me With Science". That was just wretched.
Those other songs are all bad, but none have the audacity to make the bold proclamations of "We Built This City." Scope is important.Others worse than We Built This City:
Also, Grace Slick's singing voice is mildly reminiscent of the sound a cat makes when you throw it on a belt sander.
Plus, the lyrics are absolutely terrible.
"Marconi plays the mamba
Listen to the radio"
The man credited with inventing radio is somehow playing a deadly African snake?

Ouch, that was my favorite song when I was a kid. I would make my cousins play it over and over again, making them hate it.Originally Posted by Hap

I can agree with anything and everything else on your list...but Terrance? C'mon...he was going to be the next Jimmy Hendrix and Prince all wrapped into one...oh, wait....nevermind.Originally Posted by Dom Heffner

How can you deny the sheer awfulness of these lyrics:
I don't care what you say
you can give it away
Your money don't mean much to me.
I've been out on my own
gonna got it alone now
'Cause that's the way it's got to be.
Ev'rybody tells me how I can beat the odds for now.
Well
I've been standing by the fire
but I iust can't feel the heat.
Heartbeat - I'm looking for a heartbeat
Heartbeat - I'm looking for a heartbeat
beating like mine.
Looking at me
it's easy to see
You think you know iust how I feel.
If you do to me wrong and it won't take me long
Before my restless heart will heal.
I'm looking for a love
love like mine
They tell me it's so hard to find
But I can feel it in the rhythm of the heartbeat in the street.
Heartbeat - I'm looking for a heartbeat
Heartbeat - I'm looking for a heartbeat
Beating like mine
beating like mine.
Tell me what you feel now without the heartbeat
Tell me is it real now without the heartbeat?
Heartbeat - I'm looking for a heartbeat. (12x)
Read this line again:
That makes absolutely no sense. This song is the worst of the worst. At least Grace Slick sings on "We Built This City," which is much better than Don Johnson's talking/rambling through this piece of incoherent buffoonery.If you do to me wrong and it won't take me long
Before my restless heart will heal.
Oh Sherry... I'm in love. hold on, hold on.

There's a lot of debate about these lyrics, but I believe the correct line is "Oh Sherrie / our love / holds on / holds on"Oh Sherry... I'm in love. hold on, hold on.
Dom, for a song to truly be considered "The Worst," it has to attempt to be more than just a silly love song. All those "story" songs from the 70's are good examples. I can't deny how pathetic "Heartbeat" is, but in the end, it's just another semi-gooey pop song. "We Built This City" took pop to a new level of crapulence.

Add "Unskinny Bop" by Poison to that list, although the song was released in 1990.Originally Posted by Dom Heffner

"Pour Some Sugar On Me"

Livin' like a lover with a radar phone
Lookin' like a tramp, like a video vamp

I'm hot, sticky sweet
From my head to my feet yeah
Listen! red light, yellow light, green-a-light go!
Crazy little woman in a one man show
Mirror queen, mannequin, rhythm of love
Sweet dream, saccharine, loosen up
You gotta squeeze a little, squeeze a little
Tease a little more
Easy operator come a knockin' on my door
Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet
Little miss innocent sugar me, yeah

Sweet to taste, saccharine
'Cos I'm hot, say what, sticky sweet
From my head, my head, to my feet
