A while back Dave Barry wrote a piece for his weekly syndicated column in the Miami Herald, inviting his readers to vote for the worst song of all time. He figured it was a clever ploy to get an easy second column out of it announcing the winner. Then mail started coming in, bags of mail, stacked boxes of mail, it was everywhere - the Miami Herald had to hire TWO PEOPLE just to open and sort the mail from this column. In pretty short order, Dave realized he had touched a nerve in the American people, and he'd have to write a book, not just a second column, analyzing the results. The result is called "Dave Barry's Book of Bad Songs". It's a hilarious read if you're interested.

I thought it might be interesting to see what our little community's worst songs are. Most of the DB's voting was along predictable lines, pop songs with awful lyrics that fester in your brain for weeks.

SO, be warned ... even thinking of the worst song of all time may cause it to become uncomfortably lodged in your brain for what may seem like eternity.

If you dare ... give us your vote for WORST SONG OF ALL TIME.
