I'll add to the list: anything by Billy Joel, particularly "We Didn't Start The Fire," "A Matter Of Trust" and "Pressure." He made some of the most unwatchab

A lot of junk from the early 70's could go here...."Afternoon Delight" by Starland Vocal Band, "Feelings" by Morris Albert, "Candy Man" by Sammy Davis, Jr., ad nauseum.

Never had a song actually make me vomit, but...

I'd rather chew tinfoil than listen to Survivor "Eye of the Tiger"
I'd rather have needles stuck in my eye than listen to Jacko's "Thriller"
I'd rather put my tongue in a blender than listen to anythin

"Take it on the run". That song by REO speedwagon. Each time i hear it on the radio, I instantly change the station.

"Love Shack" by B-52's. Way overplayed.

that one that goes "hey kid...rock on..". Why did this song ever become popular?

I'll give you Stand, but I repeat -- Orange Crush is a great song.

I run a lot of miles every year and have had Orange Crush in the mix of running songs and it always makes me run faster -- it's a motivating song for me and I love it -- sorry you don
