Danke Schoen?

That's the first one I thought of too!
Then "Itsy Bitsey Teenie Weenie Yellow Pokadot Bikini

Don't have time for a whole list, but Send in the Clowns and Muskrat Love are two I can't stand.

Send in the Clowns? Really? By one of America's greatest song writers, Stephen Sonheim. Was covered by just about every top artist. Streisand, Sinatra, you name it.

If you want to go back to that era, how about Witch Doctor (Walla Walla Bing Bang)- or Purple People Eater.

My Friend the Witch Doctor = David Seville = The Chipmunks

Trivia Time: David Seville's real name was Ross Bagdasarian. In Hitchcock's "Rear Window" he is the neighbor composing music on his piano.

I don't think the early songs - bikini, purple people, Ally Oop, Witch Doctor and the like were bad. It was very early in rock and roll and those songs were written just to entertain (I guess it could be argued they all were/are written for that purpose but I think y'all know what I mean). If you want to compare those songs were far better/cheerier than Teen Angel, Big Girls Don't Cry, Billy Don't Be A Hero, Tell Laura..., Dead Man's Curve, etc. Heck, ya wanna get really old? How 'bout Mares Eat Oats and 3 Little Fishies? Fun songs. Mom sung them to us over and over.

I'll add most anything by Brenda Lee and Leslie Gore to the stinko list.

I'll go long with Brenda Lee and Leslie Gore and add Dionne Warwick.
Just leave Little Eva alone:) I love me some Locomotion.

I'm sorry, but yes I just hate Send in the Clowns. Sad depressing with clowns mixed in..Yuck. I guess just because I hate it doesn't mean it's a terrible song.

Can't stand much of Neil Diamond's music either...which is strange because I'm a Barry Manilow fan. I can't put a finger on it but have never cared for Neil. Sweet Caroline is ok though.

[Fitzroy]

No, not Monster Mash! That's just good clean fun.

Diamonds music owes a lot to his showmanship and his overwrought performances. It doesn't do too well when others perform it.

I'm not too found of Neil' music when he sings it himself. Never heard anyone else try to tackle those songs

Yeah, I'm in there with Neil Diamond. Few of his songs are worthwhile.
