Dad and I have come up with a ‘great’ compilation of songs that you should listen to…if you want to hear the worst songs ever written. So here is our top ten worst songs ever written.

10. The Candy Man by Sammy Davis Jr.

One of the most annoying songs you will ever hear. Not as bad as most songs, but still pretty awful. With lyrics like ‘who can take a rainbow, mix it with a smile’ makes me just want to hurl.

9. Alice by The Sisters of Mercy

One day, while watching The Alternative on VH1 Classic, the untalented Sisters of Mercy came on. They were loud, unmusical, and you couldn’t understand a word they were saying.

8. Nearly Lost You by The Screaming Trees

You can’t even describe how awful they are. Period, end of statement. 

7. Don’t Stop Believin’ by Journey

They belong on this list, not just for this hideously awful song, but for a whole career of hideously awful songs!Plus, they were ugly.

6. Murderous by Nitzer Ebb

You can’t even listen to this song without putting it on mute. The fact we’re even calling it a song is a compliment to this band.

5. Stars Are Blind by Paris Hilton

Even though I only listened to a thirty second clip of the song, I was rolling on the floor, covering my ears screaming about how my ears were bleeding. This just proves she has a record deal because she’s famous for being famous, not because she has any talent whatsoever.

4. The Night Chicago Died by Paper Lace

A classic song of badness. It’s so bad, we can’t even describe in words how bad it is. However, we can say Paper Lace was consistent with writing awful songs.

3. Muskrat Love by The Captain and Tennille

A horrible remake of a horrible song by America. Another group that could be on this list!

2. If by Bread

With great lyrics like’if a face could launch a thousand ships,then what am I to do?’, how could you not put it on this list?

1. The Hair Song by The Cowsills

The winner! The worst song ever written in the entire world. At least the Cowsills can say they didn’t write the lyrics. A favorite lyric of everyone ‘oh say can you see, my eyes if you can then my hair’s too short’.
