You people have gotten this far without mentioning 'MacArthur Park'? I am disappointed in you.

I used to hate "MacArthur Park" until this one time when I left a cake out in the rain. Then suddenly I totally got it.

Wet cake or no, "MacArthur Park" is dreadful. But I'd rank it third after "Midnight at the Oasis" ("send your camel to bed. The cactus is our friend"?) and that Pina Colada song.
Honorable mention to Bobby Goldsboro's "Honey". I could never really blame poor Honey for taking her own life. Sounds like it must have been a very sad existence for her being married to that insulting sap.

"Summer Girls" by LFO. Here's the brilliant chorus: New Kids On The block had a bunch of hits Chinese food makes me sick. And I think it's fly when girls stop by for the summer... for the summer I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch, I'd take her if I had one wish. But she's been gone since that summer... Since that summer People, I can't make this stuff up!

Strange coincidence: I happened to set the recipe right next to the cake, and when it rained, the words got smudged and I couldn't read it anymore. It really was a frustrating day.

London Bridge is Falling Down sucks! That made me laugh. ;D If you're referring to Fergie's version of "London Bridge," then yeah, it sucks.

Then there are things like The Shaggs, where the point kinda is that they're awful.
Some background: If you check out the original album cover of their first album 'Philosophy of The World,' you'd be inclined to assume it's a joke: Two frankly plain-looking girls in green and white polyester dresses holding electric guitars and flanking a somewhat chubby girl sitting behind a child's drum kit. They aren't joking: That's them. The Wiggin Sisters, Dorothy, Betty, and Helen, whose father decided for reasons of his own to form into a band, writing and performing their own songs, not unlike the Jacksons. The difference is that The Jacksons had some innate talent while the Wiggins just had persistance. Dad drilled them incessantly, pulling them out of school so they could concentrate on their music. Instead of becoming better, they apparently forged a shared delusion. You listen to their songs, most famous being 'My Pal Foot-Foot,' the saga of a lost cat, and it basically sounds like incoherent white noise. Two girls are hacking away at their guitars, spectacularly out of tune and playing completely different songs, the drum is thumping along like a small child banging on a pot, one girl is half-chanting, half-reciting the lyrics, her minor but noticeable speech impediment only enhancing her inability to sing.... Then, a few years later, they did a follow-up album, 'Shaggs Own Thing,' re-do 'My Pal Foot-Foot'... And it's the exact same white noise, note for note. It wasn't that they were aiming for a song and missed; they really, honestly thought that was a song.
The girls' album was recorded by some fly-by-night company that took their dad's money and vanished, but the album became an underground classic among stunned avant-garde music fans. You can read about them and other bizarre acts in the Irwin Chusid book SONGS IN THE KEY OF Z or listen to them on the two CDs of the same name.

Aww, but the chorus is so fun to sing along to! I recently found out that, in terms of lyrics, New Kids on the Block has some pretty bad songs. There's only so many times you can rhyme "girl" and "world."
