The Worst Music Ever Made

In the web unit where I work, we have been locked in a fierce battle. The contest: to determine once and for all which song is the worst song ever made. Our main criteria were that a song must be the kind of song that sticks in your head for any reason, and of course, it must be the kind of song that sucks. The list of bad songs keeps growing. First, there was Rick Astley’s “never gonna give you up” then the content manager suggested the “achy breaky heart song”. I suggested that “you are the wind beneath my wings song”. Not to be outdone, the graphic designer came to us with the song that vanilla ice wrote for one of the ninja turtles movies, “Ninja Rap” with its annoyingly catchy “go ninja, go ninja go!” The flash developer’s wife even chimed in remotely with “We Built This City on Rock and Roll”. We’ve decided to open the floor to any and all songs, to determine which song really is the worst song ever made.

Here is a list of some really bad songs. Got any more?

… and the current owner of the title of the worst song in the world is …
Barney’s song

An honorable mention goes out to the song with the worst chorus ever: “Sometimes When We Touch” by Dan Hill. The chorus goes like so (gag!):

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty’s too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
