You were overcharged.  (I know, I have Bad Girl too). | |

VoicesCarry said: SoulAlive said: TOP 10 WORST SONGS OF THE 80s (in no particular order)
"(Keep Feeling) Fascination" by Human League (1983) 
"Missing You" by John Waite (1984)
This song has a good hook and a decent melody. It's not NEARLY the worst song of 1984, let alone worst song of the decade
"Missing You" is lame mid-80s pop/rock.I like John Waite's earlier hit "Change" (from 1982),that song is great,but "Missing You" is a bore. | |

2. Anything by Shitney Houston. She's only number 2 because Anita Baker's music was more boring. However, if it weren't for Shitney Houston making it big with her boring shit, Anita Baker probably would have only had minor success. 3. Anything by Mikki Howard. 4. Anything by Freddie Jackson. 5. Anybody I missed that had similar music as the top 4. 6. Some of that stripped down midtempo rap in the late 1980s that was underground at the time. Most everything else, I was cool with, with the exception of bullshit songs like "Don't Worry, Be Happy". Air Supply & Kenny G are added to that list. | |

Me too! If a song is catchy, and actually has a melody, it has a good chance of getting on these worst songs lists...  | |

Here is one that will probably be controversial but I really cannot stand this song, 'The Tide Is High' by Blondie. Really dislike that song. | |

Karma Chameleon is one of the BEST songs of the 80s, and probably of all time. Do You Really Want To Hurt Me ain't too far behind. Let's hear it for the Boy!!! Stand at the crossroads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths...(Jeremiah 6:16) www.ancientfaithradio.com

AFAIC, "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" and "Time (Clock of the Heart)" are both much better than "Karma Chameleon" (not that I don't love the latter).

The final countdown - Europe
Worst song of all time? | |

These are the ones I could think of at the moment:
Tarzan boy - Baltimora ANYTHING by Modern Talking 
La Isla Bonita - Madonna Dancing in the Street - David Bowie and Mick Jagger Oh and here are two equally bad local "favorites" (sound samples below).... believe or not, even though the first song is from a children's record made by a legendary Icelandic comedian called Laddi (who used to be funny), it's played at some popular clubs today : Superman - Laddi
And this cover of some french rock song (originally called Ca plane pour moi) made by talk show host Hemmi Gunn who in the 80s, like so many others, thought he could release albums...: Einn dans við mig (One d...Hemmi Gunn [Edited 12/29/06 16:15pm] | |

theVelvetRoper said: "Somewhere", LaToya Jackson
"Bad Girl", LaToya Jackson "Sexual Feeling", LaToya Jackson "He's So Good to Me", LaToya Jackson "Camp Kuchi Kaiai", LaToya Jackson "Taste Of You (Is A Taste Of Love)", LaToya Jackson "Him", Rupert Holmes "Rock Me Amadeus", Falco "She Wants to Dance With Me", Rick Astley "The Final Countdown", Europe If you haven't heard the LaToya songs, you must, because they're so horrid that they're hilarious. They're worse than the titles imply. "Somewhere" has got to be the worst song ever recorded, and my friends and I found her Bad Girl album at a record store for literally, like, fifty cents. We were pissing ourselves in the car. It's great! I've heard three of those Toy songs. "Sexual Feeling" is brilliant comedy. "Don't touch it, baybeeeee!!" | |

My dad likes that song. Then again, my parents have some cheesy-ass taste. My mom's a much worse offender.. her (AND my uncle's!) favorite band is Nickelback, for God's sake. | |
