Thread: What song would you nominate as the worst song ever?

Strange Pick For the Worst Song Ever

The classic Beatles song, "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da," has been voted the worst song ever in an online poll of 1,000 people conducted by Britain's Mars. Okay, so maybe this tune is more fun than serious poetry, but does that make it the worst song EVER? Even the BBC News notes that it's on the Beatles' "White Album," which is often regarded as one of the best albums ever made.

The top five "worst" songs ever, according to the Mars poll:
1. "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da," by The Beatles
2. "Fog on the Tyne, " by Gazza and Lindisfarne
3. "I'll Do Anything For Love," Meat Loaf
4. "Diamond Lights," by Glenn Hoddle and Chris Waddle
5. "We Will Rock You," 5ive featuring Queen


"Admit it or not, most of these are songs that we liked when they first came out," Ian Edwards, a lecturer at the Academy of Contemporary Music, told the BBC News Online. "That is the nature of pop music as a part of fashion. Songs are popular at the time, but times change and often this results in embarrassing additions to your record collections. It is interesting to note that they were nearly all hits."
