    If you ever heard it live, you'd disagree. Lipsynched to a Koss boombox.

    You're probably right Troy. I'm usually not too impressed with live concerts. If you can't sing the song anymore or need a choir to back you up & don't have one than don't do the song.

    OK... Not technically a song, but Chicago, back when they were Chicago Transit Authority...

    I have sat down fully focused and hell bent to sit through the entire thing, and have never come close. Personal best is under 60 seconds. Pure torture...

    Never listened to Milli Vanelli. Weren't they the ones that got busted for lip synching?

    The Village People songs weren't all bad including YMCA. And they were certainly different to look at!

    BTW Mr. BBL! I now have that damn song stuck in my head thanks to you! If it doesn't leave soon I'm going to have to track you down!

    Go out to the parking lot
    And you get in your car and you drive real far
    And you drive all night and then you see a light
    And it comes right down and lands on the ground
    And out comes a man from Mars
    And you try to run but he's got a gun
    And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
    And then you're in the man from Mars
    You go out at night, eatin' cars
    You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too
    Mercuries and Subarus
    And you don't stop, you keep on eatin' cars
    Then, when there's no more cars
    You go out at night and eat up bars where the people meet
    Face to face, dance cheek to cheek
    One to one, man to man
    Dance toe to toe...

    I agree, The Final Countdown sucks balls. I think Reunited was by Peaches and Herb lol. Never heard Michelle, but Who are You rocks out man!

    I also can't stand "Cold as Ice" by Foreigner.....dun dun, DUN DUN, dun dun, DUN DUN... What the hell is that?

    After reading this, I had to dig out my vinyl copy of "Synchronicity" and give that "Mother" a listen. After further review, I'm not sure that piece of trash even qualifies as a song. It is truly awful.

    I hope it didn't ruin my stylus.

    I say we change this - it's easy to pick the worst song by a band or artist you HATE. I will pick the worst song by my favorite band, The Beatles:

    All Together Now from the Yellow Submarine Album.

    I was spinning the Auto American LP a couple of days ago. The lyrics are a little corny...but were probably apropos for the time...and I actually like the tune. Certainly not a "worst song ever" IMO.
