I know this is going to be hotly disputed because there are just so many bad songs out there. But I had to make a stab at it anyway. Many of mine are bad because I just hate really sappy songs. Still, I eagerly await your corrections and additions.

Ok, folks, starting at the bottom, here they are:

20. You Don’t Bring Me Flowers, Barbara Streisand and Neil Diamond
19. Horse With No Name, America
18. Heartlight, Neil Diamond
17. Ebony and Ivory, Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder
16. Everybody Have Fun Tonight, Wang Chung
15. Do the Conga, Gloria Estefan
14. Muskrat Love, Captain and Tenille
13. The Final Countdown, Europe
12. I Think We’re Alone Now, Tiffany
11. Having My Baby, Paul Anka
10. Feelings, Morris Albert
9. Maneater, Hall and Oates
8. Butterfly Kisses, Bob Carlisle
7. From a Distance, Bette Midler
6. Achy Breaky Heart, Billy Ray Cyrus
5. It’s Hard to be Humble, Mac Davis
4. Disco Duck, Rick Dees
3. Ring My Bell, Anita Ward
2. My Humps, Black Eyed Peas

And, hard to believe that the Beatles win the top spot, but here it is, worst song ever:

1. Rocky Raccoon, Beatles

Okay, give me your worst songs!

The “Pink Panther” Gaffe

April 26, 2007

When I was thirteen, my two girlfriends and I went to the mall to get matching t-shirts to wear.

As an added bonus, we agreed to get our names [...]
