The Worst Song To Make The Charts

[Bobbisox1]

My Ding a Ling ,utter ….???

[Canary42]

Thank you to those who picked me up on Ding-a-ling ban - my memory failed me - apparently Mary Whitehouse tried to get it banned but failed. That's the controversy I remembered.

ah yes, sandyRoe, I remember Lee Marvin's voice being compared to a frog with a man in his throat.

[elliemay1]

I loved Whiter Shade of Pale

[jno]

and I loved (and still love) MacArthur Park

[JimF]

WSOP was John Lennon's favourite song:

[Sam1960]

Reached No 4, and sold over 400,000 copies !!

I will drink the wine while it is warm
And never let you catch me looking at the sun
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
You'll still be the one


aaaah

[tommy39]

half a lager and a packet of crisp please..worst "song" of all time.forgot who recorded it

[mushroom25]

Tommy, that was "Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps", and it was by Splodgenessabounds.........

[Bobbisox1]

I loved McArthur park too

[mushroom25]

she never troubled the charts (at least not in the UK), but for a series of truly terrible cover versions, google Mrs Elva Miller. her rendition of the Mamas and Papas "Monday Monday" was, um, special.

Ken @ 08:37 Sun, page 5. //I'm AB's number 1 Queen...//

Nope you're fine I won't dispute that.

The 1970's was the decade of the worst songs ever.

[sandyRoe]

Clive Dunn and a choir of school children produced a piece of sentiment tripe.
It must be one of the favourites for worse one ever.

[davebro]

We've probably had Tiny Tim & Tiptoe Through the Tulips?

Fools & their money etc.

[Deskdiary]

Do They Know it’s Christmas.

It was awful when it came out, and over the years it has got to the point where it offends my ears and makes me slightly angry at its awfulness.

There’s a great documentary with Paul Weller and the interviewer asks him why he looked unhappy during the recording, and his answer was “because it was a dreadful song.”

[ToraToraTora]

it may not be the worse song but it was the one that I hated for keeping Vienna off no 1! Shudupya face!

[tiggerblue10]

Sudupaya face was a crime against music!
