According to Blender Magazine, “Don’t Worry, Be Happy,” and “Dancing
on the Ceiling,” may have been catchy tunes and big hits, but they still
stink.
The music magazine is publishing its list of the 50 worst songs in its May
issue. The songs were selected for “crap-tastic melodies,” were poorly
performed, or just didn’t make any sense to the folks at the magazine.
Starship’s “We Built This City,” from 1985 topped the list.
“The truly horrible sound of a band taking the corporate dollar while
sneering at those who take the corporate dollar,” the magazine said of
the tune.
Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Achy Breaky Heart” was second, followed by Wang
Chung’s “Everybody Have Fun Tonight.” “If this song was a party, you’d
lock yourself in a bathroom and cry,” quipped Blender.

I have to agree with most of the songs they listed in the article. I’m going
to have to buy this issue to see the whole list. I’m sure there’s some
doozies on there.
Anyone want to start our own list?
Here’s my first entry - but I don’t know who sings it (heard it yesterday
for the first time in a long time and I cannot believe how popular it was):
It goes, “I get knocked down, but I get up again, You’re never gonna
keep me down” about 1000 times in the song. :sigh:
that’s so terrible…
