Phil O'Keefe Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I just read an article about an old Starship song being "the worst song ever. " http://www.msn.com/en-us/music/news/is-this-80s-no-1-hit-really-the-worst-song-ever/ar-AAiCaBe?li=BBnb7Kz I don't exactly consider it to be a great song, but I think I can think of a worse hit song... can you? I'll start: Men Without Hats (or brains...) Safety Dance. (You can post the video to go along with your selection if you wish, but I'm going to refrain this time. If I posted the video, I'd have to ban myself. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Red Ant Posted September 7, 2016 Moderators Share Posted September 7, 2016 I just read an article about an old Starship song being "the worst song ever. " http://www.msn.com/en-us/music/news/...aBe?li=BBnb7Kz I don't exactly consider it to be a great song, but I think I can think of a worse hit song... can you? ) I dunno, its pretty dang awful. This is my favorite part of the article though: Peter Wolf (co-writer/producer): "Journey was recording in the studio next door, and every time I opened the door, their band members were standing outside with their mouths open. 'This is the Starship? It's unbelievable!'" If anyone would know a really cheesy pop hit when they heard it, its Journey As for worse hit songs? Its subjective, but here are some candidates: Cold As Ice, Foreigner Pretty much any Journey hit. Mr Roboto and Too Much Time On My Hands, Styx Any REO Speedwagon hit Roseanna, Toto Any Van Hagar hit song Too Legit To Quit, MC Hammer Hello, Lionel Ritchie Hey Mickey, Tony Basil Any Goo Goo Dolls song ever heard on the radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Prime8 Posted September 7, 2016 Members Share Posted September 7, 2016 Lots of awful choices to consider but one that immediately springs to mind is "Afternoon Delight" by the Starland Vocal Band. I could also say anything by The Steve Miller Band as they provided seemingly endless drivel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my money though, I'll still say anything by REM. Also that insipid Joan Osbourne song that displays a surprising ignorance of the premise of a major world religion. I'll totally rock some Safety Dance though anytime! I can dance if I wanooooo! I heard some J. Geils in a bar the other night and when the song ended I still hear in my head the first few notes of the next song from back in the days before I could get to the tape deck and rewind it to back to the good stuff.
