The worst s̶o̶n̶g̶ artist o̶f̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶1̶9̶8̶0̶s̶ ever. Fixed that for you.

That you cared to point it out disqualifies your opin.

Love Shack has to be up there

LiveCoug

3/1/21 1:45pm

Whoa. TIL there are people that don't think Love Shack is atrocious

LiveCoug

3/1/21 1:58pm

Love Shack, and the B-52s, are awesome.

Ham

Fact: if you like Love Shack, you are probably a serial killer.

Hilarious.

Had a teacher growing up who loved Depeche Mode. Talked about them every day.

Icelandic Cougar

We Built This City is from the ‘80’s and is the worst song ever!

TrackCoug

Shame on you.

My wife agrees with you. But she is wrong.

I wish I had two POTDs so I could award you a trophy but I already used it.

I like cheeze. Sorry you don't.

It’s a corporate rock song that decries corporate rock songs

TrackCoug

They're drug-damaged musicians, not philosophers.

Nooo I loved that song when I was a kid.

This is an accurate statement

That is a rock solid list right there.

Indy Coug

3/1/21 1:50pm

That list has Safety Dance on it, therefore it is null and void

LiveCoug

3/1/21 1:50pm

The only two songs that belong on that list are Lady in Red and Mickey.

Ham

3/1/21 1:55pm

Ouch. Rock Me Amadeus shouldn't be there.

El Careeb

3/1/21 1:56pm

Mickey should be though. Rock Me Amadeus was a victim of being overplayed. Same with Red, Red, Wine by UB40

Oh man. Now you've done it

Honorable mention ...

THIS IS IT. THIS IGNORE CANNOT BE UNDONE. FRONTIERS IGNORE!

Maybe he is aspiring to become the most hated poster of the day

DodgerMike

If TNT rises to become head mod Indy/Sea Chicken will be punished severely!

Even their songs that were pre-1980s or post-1980s?

Jeffacka

3/1/21 2:34pm

Also, like any decade, any country song should top this list

LiveCoug

3/1/21 1:53pm

WPOTY!! Of all the bad songs of the 80s...that’s what you picked?!?!

Traveshamockery

3/1/21 1:56pm

Did any of you even listen to music in the 80's? You clearly don't know the actual terrible songs like this one

TwinsRight

3/1/21 2:00pm

The 80's was the best decade for music ever. (At least for me.)

84 natlchamps

3/1/21 8:51pm

Total Eclipse of the Heart is a contender for that title.

Veracruz

3/1/21 2:09pm

Nope. You realize that this song is from the 80's right?

JAGA97

3/1/21 2:10pm

Ouch!

84 natlchamps

There is some good 80s music but I am glad I grew up in the 70s; so much good

Breaking news: Old guy enjoys music of his teen years more than other decades

LiveCoug

Apparently, I am not the only one

The seventies were a great decade for music. The seventies and eighties were my

84 natlchamps

3/1/21 8:54pm

the OP is a pretty bad song, but it's so obscure that as a teen of the 80's I'd never heard it before

You probably didn’t attend Church dances then.

Traveshamockery

3/1/21 2:25pm

many dances at Church and school. this one was never on the list. must've been a Utah thing

byujag

3/1/21 2:27pm

I grew up in central CA and it was a staple. Guess it must have been a Ut and CA

Traveshamockery

3/1/21 3:04pm

It was on the radio ALL THE TIME. It's an ok song, but got overplayed a lot

Marc Spector

3/1/21 3:15pm

Don't Worry be Happy is easily the worst, Batdance and Unskinny Bop should be up

I must be a sucker for 80's pop hits. Only one I can agree w/ is UB40, Red, Red Wine.
