Ranking the Worst (The Grand Finale)
Okay we're here!
10. Ebony and Ivory-Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder ... 1982
I'm convinced this song destroyed the seemingly improving race relations of 1982. Soonafter the government created AIDS and Crack to kill off my entire race because they just didn't want this song on the air. A little drastic? Sure, but that's the government.
9. American Life-Madonna ... 2003
Learning the power of American values from Italian born in Michigan who lives in London and parades around with a fake
British accent.
8. Party All the Time-Eddie Murphy ... 1985
Oh okay, is it bad because it's a bad song or because it's an actor singing a bad song? Scary thing is, this isn't even CLOSE to the worst Eddie Murphy song ever. That goes to the classic bust called
Whatzupwitu.
7. Don't Worry, Be Happy-Bobby McFerrin ... 1988
Horrible song and it wasn't the song that a militant young teenager liked myself enjoyed. However, points for using his body for all the musical sounds. And McFerrin has turned into a very good composer.
6. The Heart of Rock & Roll-Huey Lewis and the News ... 1984
Ahhh...I liked Huey Lewis and the News...I hate to admit it, I almost feel like hanging myself, but we all have crosses to bare.
5. Ice Ice Baby-Vanilla Ice ... 1990
A pop classic. Really was this song bad? No, it was quite the opposite. Bad songs don't sell 15-20 copies of a shitty album like "To the Extreme".
4. Rollin'-Limp Bizkit ... 2000
Someone point out a GOOD Cheese Bizkit for me.
3. Everybody Have Fun Tonight-Wang Chung ... 1986
Horribly overrated 80s song. Wang Chung was one of the worst groups of the decade. I mean 80s music sucked, that's why this song was popular, plain and simple.
2. Achy Breaky Heart-Billy Ray Cyrus ... 1992
Wow, where do I start with this little diddy. When I first heard this song I thought to myself "Wow another goofy, non-dancing jackass in country music." I'll put it mildly I'd rather listen to Toby Keith while hanging upside down in a pool with a cattle prod shoved up my ass than listen to this song ever again.
1. We Built This City-Starship ... 1985
Honestly this song isn't close to as bad as half the songs on this list. Not to say it isn't horrible and cheesy, it's definitely those things but it is the worst song of all time? Worst than New Kids on the Block? Nah.
That's all folks!
