I always thought she was singing "Temporary love's so bad,but it feels so good"

Remember the other lines in that song?

"Used to be so good but so bad
Sex was something I just had
Used to always know what to do
Now,you got me confused"

Those were fitting lyrics for an ex-porno star

"Walking on Sunshine" Katrina and The Waves ARGHHH!!! I might have had a crack moment and liked it when it first came out, but now everytime it happens to come on the radio, I change it immediately. It's like nails on the chalkboard.

my vote: 'Another Day In Paradise' by Phil Collins

ultra cheese late 80's production - how awful

and 'we built this city on rock & roll' should go down in the Baby Boomer hall of shame (larger than the Smithsonian, I'm sure)

Speaking of Sheila,I haven't even bought her last CD with "Right Here Waiting" on it.Am I missing something? I really love Sheila but her previous CD 'Rites Of Passage' was a snoozefest,imo.

Disco Duck by Rick Dees, Paul King I forgot the Title of his annoying song but ever time U-68 was on that video was sure to be the first one shown. Hey Marguarita. Right Said Fred I"m Too sexy, Milli Vanilli. All horrible tunes for sure.

rhythm of the night...ever since i saw moulin rouge, my opinion of that one has changed drastically. i'm actually jonesing to hear the original by debarge. good song! no, the absolute worst thing to come around in the 80s has to be "somebody's watching me" by rockwell. the most memorable thing about it was the hook sung by MJ.

"Disco Duck" by Rick Dees is actually from 1976.But yes,it IS a horrible song,isn't it?

'We are the world' - I can't stand this song. I know its for a good cause but I think it completely sucks,and I dont blame Prince for not being involved in that mess.

Susudio by Phil Collins is another one that sucked
and that Cindy Lauper song 'you bop, he bop...' wtf?

Funny, but some of the songs you all are listing as the worst songs are songs that I love -- lol!! But we all have different tastes in music.

Some more 80's song that I think are the worst:

"Mr. Roboto" by Styx - This song is totally annoying. What makes it even worse are the backing vocals ("Secret, secret, I got a secret"). What really is laughable is at the end of the song is when Dennis DeYoung or whoever is the lead singer in that song shouts out: "I'M KILROY!" ROFLMOA!! Yeah, right, whatever.

"Celebration" by Kool and the Gang - When this song came out it was way overplayed by the radio stations everywhere. Even worse was going to my cousin's wedding and having it played at the reception.

"Gloria" by Laura Branigan - Another song that was totally overplayed until I got utterly sick of it.

"Walk Like an Egyptian" by the Bangles - I know that the Bangles worked with Prince a little at one time during the 80's, but I never cared for this song. The video is even worse with those weird costumes and that silly dance.

I'm sure there are more songs that I'm forgetting that I will need to add to the list.

This is kinda tough for me because the 80's is my favorite music decade. But, I will have to go with "I'm turning Japanese". Terrible.

I would also like to add something to this thread. A lot of people talk about how terrible and cheesy some of the music of the 80's was. But, what must be realized is that was a totally different time and music was "fun" back then (which is why a song about turning Japanese could get on the radio). Music, especially rap, at the time was about having fun. Music today doesn't have that fun vibe to it. Everyone today just seem to be pissed off. I once heard a guy decsribe the music of the 90's at the time as, "My life is terrible, your life is terrible, now let's get together and sing about how terrible our lives are". A lot of the music of the 80's may be cheesy,but at least most of it was original and not sampled and remade. I'll take cheesy over pissed off any day.

Oh yeah, and I thought "She drives me Crazy" by the Fine Young Cannibles was terrible also. There was nothing more scarring in my life than when I heard that song performed live on the Grammys. I asked for forgiveness for whatever I had done to deserve that.

THE LIVING YEARS!! By Mike and the Mechanics. BLAH...


Who said Samantha Fox sucks?!!! Her songs "naughty Girls" and "Touch Me" were very hot

HOW ABOUT THAT FUCKEN BOBBY MCFERRIN JOINT?
Chuck D said it best:
"'Don't Worry Be Happy' was a number one jam / Damn if I say it you can slap me right here"

I got all these beat:

PAC MAN FEVER

As We Lay - Shirley Murdock
Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go - Wham!
Dancing on The Ceiling - Lionel Richie (I'd erased this BS from my memory, thank for reminding me)


I had to amend this after reading some other posts also

Oh hell no..Tricky doesnt have anything to do with Mickey--maybe My Sharona but not that stupid assed Mickey song.

The Wham! song "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" is one of those bubblegum pop songs that stay in your head all day long...lol...it's the type of song that you DON'T WANNA LIKE,but you can't get the melody outta your head.

"Dancing On The Ceiling" is probably the worst Lionel Ritchie song ever.Truly dreadful!

"As We Lay" by Shirley Murdock is an overrated song,imo.I prefer her follow-up single "Go On Without You".

EASY: "The Lady In Red" and "Captain Of Her Heart"

OOH One more "Shake You Down" the most un soulful piece of
shit I've ever heard!!

JAMIESTARR said:

I love "The Captain Of Her Heart".The piano playing is superb on that song!

JAMIESTARR said:

LOL...when that song came out,people were telling me I look just like the guy who sings it (Gregory Abbott).Maybe that's why I'm not too fond of it...lol...
