Ok, I know people say that a lot, but I mean of the songs that at one time or another, were actually popular. [video=youtube;BaeNelsAOGo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaeNelsAOGo[/video] That was the worst. The Worst of all time.
Wow, that's really awful. Those girls have no talent whatsoever. Or it is an effective satire, I'm not sure which. barfo

Yah, cept that the Dixie Chicks can actually carry a tune, have talent, can play instruments, write their own songs, won awards, sold our concerts, and had multiple songs that were hits. Outside of those minor factors, I can see why they remind you of the Dixie Chicks.
I submit "Brown Girl In The Ring" by Boney M for your consideration. [video=youtube;I1So7q6IfJ4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1So7q6IfJ4&feature=related[/video]
As far as musical quality, that one is definitely a contender for the worst ever, I had to hit the quote button just to make it stop, but I'd like to nominate a song for another category. I don't see anything special about the musical quality of "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town" by Kenny Rogers and the First Edition and I'm not sure if there is a group of people it doesn't insult, so I have no idea how it became so popular. That is my least favorite song of all time.
While that is certainly a horrible song, I think it isn't unmusical like the initial submission in this thread. It's a really bad song, but it is in some sense a song. I am amused, however, to learn that Leonard Nimoy recorded it. barfo
I like it. The video is pretty bad though. From Wiki: Brown Girl in the Ring is a children's ring game thought to have originated in Jamaica. Boys and girls play ring games in many parts of the world, especially during their preteen years. In Alan Lomax, J.D. Elder and Bess Lomax Hawe's There's a Brown Girl in the Ring, an anthology of Eastern Caribbean song games, it is suggested that ring games are a children's precursor to adult courtship. Players form a ring by holding hands, then one girl or boy goes into the middle of the ring and starts skipping or walking around to the song. The girl or boy is then asked, "Show me your motion." At this point the child in the center does his or her favorite dance. If asked "Show me your partner," he or she picks a friend to join him or her in the circle.
I submit "Pumps in a Bump" by MC Hammer. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yNz225f1230&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yNz225f1230&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
