Top 20 Worst Songs Ever: No. 17

'Achy Breaky Heart'
--Billy Ray Cyrus (1992)

Until a few years ago, this song was what people thought of when they heard the name "Cyrus." For that reason, Billy Ray should be thanking his superstar daughter every day. To his credit, the man did heroically bring the mullet hairstyle to exciting and provocative new places.

This sont was not even a Billy Ray Origional! It was written by Don Von Tress, Origionaly titled Don't Tell My Heart, and ment to be sung by The Oak Ridge Boys in the early 1990s. They decided against it because of the words Achy Braky.

I Actually saw, none other than Bruce Springsteen, perform this song live to the cheers of hundreds of fans in the Count Basie Thearter Red Bank N.J. during the time the song was at the top of the charts!!!
