What is your vote for worst song ever? Not just bad, but the kind that gets stuck in your head and won't die off even years after anyone wanted to hear it.
My vote - Your Kiss by Hall and Oates

I must be really dull, then because her mid-1970s material contains my four fave ONJ songs:

1975 - "Have You Never Been Mellow"
1975 - "Please Mr. Please"

R168, those insipid lyrics sold for 1.2M at auction a few years ago. I'm sure you'll say there's no accounting for taste but I thought McClean was a master at thinly veiled references throughout the song and that's why it has stood the test of time. It's a time capsule of sorts and encompasses a time of innocence before "the music died..."

Also, let's face it, MTV (1980?) has ruined pop music.
Pop music became a visual medium i.e. performers needed to be attractive more than they needed to be talented.
I mean, would Britney Spears have a career is she only relied on the radio?
On the other hand, lots of folks LOVE 80s pop, so .....I have just utterly contradicted myself!

'The Windmills of Your Mind' is deeply stupid without any of the charm of 'Macarthur Park'.

Even Barbra can't sell this dead horse.

I remember a line from some old TV variety show (Carol Burnett? Sonny & Cher?) One of the characters says something, and the reply is, "You've got cobwebs in the windmills of your mind."

I stopped listening to radio sometime in the late ‘60s, after FM became so formulaic. I listened to WNEW and WABC FM in 1967, having listened to WABC AM for a number of years.
FM radio was originally positioned to save us from AM. Instead, it became AM.

R311 Aren't those lyrics by that old couple who wrote a lot of songs for Streisand? They over-rhyme the shit out of everything.

Yes, but I definitely heard "cobwebs" somewhere—Sonny & Cher? Laugh-In? The song was immediately mocked right after its release.

R317, speaking of Carol Burnett Show song parodies, there was a really funny one where Harvey Korman spoofed "Having My Baby."
I am unable to find it, but I remember it had a line something like, "A whole lot of lovin', cause there's something in the oven..."
It was hysterical.
