Worst Songs Ever: The Definitive List
Random.org has determined that Liz is the proud winner of the Insignia MP3 player from the Hollywood Flakes Bad Music Giveaway. Liz was one of our many Micheal McLean haters. But most especially she hates the song, "Homeless." Here's a sweet clip of McLean's son singing it on YouTube.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to the giveaway, I had just about the worst day imaginable on Saturday as I looked up many of these songs on YouTube. But the cloud was not without its silver lining. For example, I will be forever grateful to the geniuses who created some hysterical parodies of these songs. My apologies in advance to the deaf community. Enjoy!

I'm not quite through adding all the songs you guys mentioned, but hopefully I'll have this list finished off by the end of tomorrow. If you were unable to participate in the contest, leave your pick for worst song here in the comments and I'll include it as well. So much bad out there. So much bad.

Anyone else know of any better parodies I can use?
And yes, Party in My Tummy truly rocks! My kids will actually get their dinner if I sing this for them. Of course, my singing and dancing makes everyone else sick...
Well, my vote for worst ever creepy-stalker song would be "You´re Beautiful" by James Blunt...

Luckily it spawned one of the best Weird Al parodies ever, so it isn't a total waste.
So, um, good blogging.
