Random rubbishy records

I've totally run out of random rubbishy records (for now!) I think it's a toss up between Charlene and Anita Dobson for the worst. I would probably give it to Anita as at least Charlene can sing! Whilst the lyrics of I've never been to me are totally cringeworthy, at least it tells a story unlike "anyone can fall in love" which are just a series of words cobbled together to fit the Eastenders theme tune - couple that with Anita's weak and reedy voice and we have our winner!
To sum up Actors and soap stars have a lot to answer for, novelty records - they are what they are, and some just seem out of place in a popular music chart. My delve into the story behind "One day at a time" showed that the song was written by Kris Kristofferson and probably would've sounded a damned sight better if he sang it. When I listened to it I could recognise that it had a C&W vibe but it still surprises me that an unknown rather frumpy middle aged woman set the charts alight! I'm also stumped by the fact that the Royal Dragoon guards scored a no.1 hit in the 70's with Amazing Grace played on the bagpipes! I HATE the sound of bagpipes, but I get that not everybody does so I can't say it's a necessarily bad tune - It's just not to my taste, and again out of place in the charts.
So let's hear it for limp and lame songs, bad lyrics, bad singers and the downright weird! And Anita Dobson - This one's for you
 
I'm a huge ABBA fan and pretty much liked all the songs they released as singles but I absolutely hate, hate, hate 'Dancing Queen'. IMO it's a truly horrendous song that if I never heard again would still be too soon.

Oh, and I quite like the Charlene song. I'll get my coat on the way out...

I love Dancing Queen! But I'm sure like me you appreciate that it's an extremely popular song that still gets a lot of airplay even nowadays. There's a fair few popular songs I cannot blinking stand - pretty much everything by Oasis tbh. These are good examples of songs/artists that you don't have to look very far to find them. I was hoping to be reminded of the limp and lame stuff that is nobody's guilty pleasure and have pretty much been buried for posterity. Does that mean Charlene has to be removed from the list since you have admitted that the guilty pleasure is yours! I hope not lol! Whilst we are on the subject of guilty pleasures - I like a fair few of Michael Bolton's songs. I've never been able to work out whether it's an embarrassing thing to admit because he's a bad singer singing bad songs or he's a complete Wally!
 
Christ on a 🚲 I forgot about the spoken bit in Charlene's record. It goes a little bit like this "You know what paradise is it's that little baby you're holding and that man you fought with this morning, the same man you're going to make love with tonight- that's love🤮🤮🤮
