I've always considered "we built this city" by jefferson starship the worst song ever. |
So easy to drive a stake into the heart of Yoko Ono, but take a moment to reconsider "Walking On Thin Ice" (Elvis Costello did).

Higher Love by Steve Winwood. In large part because it was on a loop of about 8 songs that played at an Arby's I worked at one summer in high school.

It takes real talent for mess up Christmas music |
And my wife’s two cents is Christmas Shoes... |
Any Beatles Song. I hate that s**t. Always overrated. |
|
As for a top 40 song, one that has haunted me since the 70s was the Carpenters “Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft (The Recognized Anthem Of World Contact Day)”. Are we trying to drive aliens away? |
“1877-cars for kids...”. There. Get THAT out of your head. |
Any song not performed personally by George Gobel - period.

Any song by The Rolling Stones. Absolutely hate that band. |
Sunshine Day by Osibisa.
Most annoying mostly because once it gets in your ear it does not come out for decades. I am still trying to shake it off.

I always thought of "Surfin' Bird" as a satire, and found it to be kind of funny in a likable sort of way. Although I don't know how serious or satirical it was intended to be.
Among songs that are well known and were huge commercial successes, my pet dislike is "Hey Jude," by The Beatles of course. And I say that as one who is a fan of much of The Beatles' music.

@boxer12, how could you hate Mandy? It is beautiful in the world that it exists in. |
The song was Surfing Bird by the Trashmen. I kind of liked that song.
Big plus 1 for any Yoko Ono song, especially the one that was very long and consisted of her caterwauling. I have repressed the name of it. |
One was "Surfer Bird" by The Trashmen. The other was a version of "Summertime" by I don't remember who, but it was in the late '60s. There were others, but these two stand out.

Any Bruce Springsteen songs...……... |

Just Google "worst song ever" and it appears there are many choices. Something I wasn't familiar with is Chinese Food by Alison Gold. It's extremely bad, but for something I know, it would have to be Paul Anka - Having My Baby. Play that one nowadays in a public place with a crowd of people and no doubt there would be a backlash.

The live version of Hotel California. I just cringe every time. It is just so over. |
|
Feliz Navidad in English and Spanish.
As someone raised bilingual, this song is an abomination in both languages.
|
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. Cindy Lauper
|
"Muskrat Love" - Captain & Tennille
"Gangnam Style" - PSY |
Joe Cocker's live version of the Beatles' "With a Little Help from my Friends."
|
A Taste Of Honey - Boogie Oogie Oogie
That Cher song where her voice gets an eleotronic modulation.
That's two for now...
