The Worst Pop Songs Ever

About.com has compiled a list of The 10 Worst Pop Songs Ever. I've rearranged them below in alphabetical order. See how close you can come to arranging them in order from 1 to 10, with 1 being the worst, then check your results:

• Afternoon Delight, Starland Vocal Band
• Ebony and Ivory , Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder
• I've Never Been To Me, Charlene
• I Write The Songs, Barry Manilow
• Lovin' You , Minnie Riperton
• Midnight At The Oasis, Maria Maldur
• Muskrat Love, Captain & Tenille
• Season In The Sun, Terry Jacks
• Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Old Oak Tree, Dawn Featuring Tony Orlando
• You Light Up My Life , Debbie Boone

I actually like a couple of the songs on this list. On the other hand, I can still remember to this day being in a nightclub in Hong Kong during my Navy years listening to a local non-English-speaking band (think of an Asian Abba) plinking out "Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Old Oak Tree". Shivers down the spine . . .

Sorry "Disco Duck" is the song even writen! A close runner up is that stupid song, "Someone Left My Cake Out in the Rain" your list of songs are bad too but nothing is as bad as these two songs I've pointed out here.

What about Lady In Red by Chris de Burgh? It makes me want to take an axe to the speakers every time I hear the smug git. Ditto Wind Beneath My Wings (is it Bette Midler?) and The Greatest Love of All (don't know who perpetrated that) give me a red mist.

I agree with the comment above. "Disco Duck" is the worst song of all time. But, here are some others in my opinion:"Fast Car", by Tracy Chapman, "Come On Eileen", by Dexys Midnight Runners, Ice Ice Baby, and Heaven On The 7th Floor, by Paul Nicolas.
