    Could be! However, I think this is one of many questions in life that can never truly be answered.

    That being said, I submit the following for consideration:

    Good Question. Ok, I finally have a chance to reveal my long-winded theory. Bear with me on this, because I know many will disagree, but I have thought about this for a long time, and here is what I have concluded:

    First of all, there are songs I hate WAY more than this, but I feel this is technically the worst song ever due to nearly every bad song cliche in it: Cheesy lyrics/vocals, anthemic pomp, singing in a round, call and answer, uninspired squealing guitar solo in the same melody as the vocal, clapping, "whoaaaa, whoaaaa" etc. And then there's the video. Holy hell. Now, I know you've all heard it a million times, but seriously, really listen to it:

    Oh yes, the Britney Spears of the 80's.......Bon Jovi. I always wished someone would shoot him through the heart, because he gave rock a bad name! :lol:

    Definitely 'I kissed a Girl', Katy Perry! Most ridiculous, stupid song! I mean so you kissed another chick and you liked it, good for you. Who cares? :lol:

    I know! omg, I hate Katy Perry. Her voice is awful and what I hate most about that song, is that it was obviously a ploy being released as her first single, because it is "outrageous" (not) and all the tweens bought it. Uggh. Touche, Loulou!

    p.s. It's been done before!

    I always wished instead of the drummer losing his arm.....that Joe Elliot would have lost his tongue. That way he couldn't sing anymore. That way he could have been hot sticky sweet from his head to his feet and we wouldn't have ever had to know about it.


    So cheesy

    A friend of mine said he wished their plane would have went down before they were able to write this song. :o



    This reminds me of another singer and song I can't stand...

    I have many songs that shudder me to the core every time I hear them. Here are a few:

    "Word Up" by Cameo
    "Roxanne" by the Police
    "Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy" by Big and Rich

    And there is something to be said for the horror and insult to music every time Toby Keith opens his mouth :lol:
    "All I Ever Knew" available now in print and digital formats at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and iBooks.
