Worst Pop Song Ever

Worst Pop Song Ever
All of today, for whatever reason, I have had the song "Micky" by Toni Basil in my mind. I am ready now to proclaim this the worst pop song of all time, hands down.
To be fair... let's exclude all novelty songs, like Tiny Tim's "Tiptoe Through The Tulips". And you can only count songs that made the top 40 in the US -- no B-sides, no obscure acts.
What do you think? Does any song knock "Micky" from it's exalted perch?

How about 'Midnight at the Oasis' or 'Afternoon Delight'.
Or 'Escape (The Pina Colada Song)'.

I have a special place in my heart for "Mickey." I liked it when I was growing up, rediscovered it on VH-1's [Insert whatever nostalgia program it was here], and promoted it to one of my favorites (!) when it was used to close out the most important achievement in cinematic history: Bring It On.
The song that's really burrowing deep beneath my skin at the moment is that "Let's Get This Party Started" song by Pink (right?). I'm sure I'll think of more later.

Hows abouts Chumbawamba's [sp?] "Tubthumping" or "Tubthumper" or "Tubthumpable" or "Tubthumpinator" or whatever it was called? Even if I manage to live until well past the time when the sun burns out, I never wanna hear that again!

I find it hard to believe ya'll have to go to the past, when there's so much suckekekekeke in today's "Pop" music..
howzabout we bring this discussion to the present..
ANY song by Christina Aguilera, Destiny's Child, or any given boy band.
ahhh screw it...most of what's considered "Pop" today sucks...

Damn you das, "MATO" and "Afternoon Delight" were the first two songs that popped in my head
How about "Undercover Angel". Or "Seasons in the Sun"??

Also....Don't know if it's the worst....but Minnie Ripperton's "Loving You" is certainly the most annoying pop song I've ever heard.

The two unisputed kings here are:
"Run, Joey, Run" by David Geddes (his "Blindman in the Bleachers" also gets an honorable mention)
and
"Convoy" by CW McCall (which somehow inspired Peckinpah to make a film version).
