This song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8WZ-Ba-gps

has to be the worst '80s song I've ever heard.

Technically, there are worse songs out there -- almost all mainstream music made in the last two decades immediately comes to mind -- but the component elements of this song just come together in a way that is just embarrasingly, epically bad. The instrumentation is beyond godawful and the lyrics are freshly squeezed shit.

Ironically, I'd probably hate this song less if the singer herself was horrible, but she's actually pretty good, which just makes the suck surrounding her stand out that much more.

You need to listen to more 80s music if you think thats the worst LOL. It's written by living-genius Prince by the way. Any song that has a lady inviting the listener to "Come inside my sugar walls" can't be all bad ;-)

I admit that my opinion may have been coloured by the stories I read about her adopting an American accent to deliberately disassociate herself from her Scottish roots; I tend to dislike people who forsake their heritage.

Regardless, it's still an incredibly dumb song. =P
