M-T-W's 15 Worst Songs EverWe figured we'd put our two cents in for the worst, most insipid songs ever recorded. These are the songs that at best force us to change the radio station, or at worst make us want to step in front of fast-moving traffic rather than continue listening.15. Spirit Of The West "Home For A Rest" 14. Bon Jovi "You Give Love A Bad Name" 13. Rick Springfield "Jessie's Girl" 12. Pearl Jam "Jeremy" 11. Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton "Islands In The Stream" 10. Los Del Rio "Macarena" 9. Dream Academy "Life In A Northern Town" 8. Mike And The Mechanics "The Living Years" 7. Stevie Wonder "I Just Called To Say I Love You" 6. Paul McCartney & Michael Jackson "Say Say Say" 5. Jan Hammer "Theme From Miami Vice" 4. Numerous Artists (Dixie Cups, Cyndi Lauper, Neville Bros.) "Iko Iko" 3. Terry Jacks and/or Westlife "Seasons In The Sun" 2. Ini Kamoze "Here Comes The Hotstepper" 1. Baltimora "Tarzan Boy" THE WORST COVERS EVERIn our opinion, here are the worst hatchet-jobs on otherwise respectable songs. 1. Crash Test Dummies "Androgynous" (The Replacements)2.
