That song is cool. I like it because it's weird.

if these songs were so bad, why did millions of copies of these songs get purchased, requested for radioplay, and concert venues get sold out? must be a conspiracy somewhere!!!! otherwise, someone may actually LIKE some of these songs-ya think?!?!

I'll tell ya why !!!
Beginning in '82, the youth of America has been systematically (sp?) brainwashed into deciding their musical-tastes via MTv.
"Pop-Music" has successfully eaten itself !!!

Just because a song is a hit doesn't mean it's not terrible. Remember "Don't Worry, Be Happy" and "Ice, Ice Baby"? I agree that this song really wasn't that bad, but it's daft to base a song's quality merely upon how successful it was.

i agree with cmas1964 if they was so bad why was they number ones and the achy breaky heart song has brought billy ray so many more things not to even mention what mileys doin now if her father had not released that song and had all the right connections...i know blly ray personally and i think its awesome that hes done what hes done today being a boy from our little town of flatwoods,ky
hes put us on the map ;)

Flatwood Kentucky??? aka anytown, usa....aka nowhereville. I guess "achy breaky" is ok if you're from a place like that...but don't get too big for your britches there flatwood....educated and civilized america doesn't listen to that crap.

This song is god awful...it hurts my ears to hear that singer yodel that terrible chorus...im glad someone else finally said somethign about how bad it is. People are way too easily influenced by what they hear often and it gets in their head, so they think they like it, instead of just being something they cant get out of their head.

I liked this song, too. Obviously, those of you who refer to the female lead singer's singing style as "yodeling" have NO IDEA just how horrible REAL yodeling is (done by hillbillies while drinking their moonshine in the backwoods mountains) in comparison. This song did NOT sound like yodeling at all; she actually sounds a lot like Pat Benatar would have sounded had she done a cover of that tune. It's a decent tune.

You are ALL stupid.
If (A) person digs a song , it's up to them. Just because YOU don't like it means nothing.
As far a Yodeling...southern people didn't create this in the backwoods...look up in your dictionary you retarted idiot.

I am so glad this is on the list! When it came out, and she said "what's going on" I said "what a dumb song!!!!!" Cuz it is...who knew this woman would go on to write "Beautiful" for Christina Aguilera!
Leslieat 8-12-2008
Are you kidding me? This was one of my favorite songs of '93. I still love it.
gbstyleat 8-12-2008
This song is classic. The creator of this list should be banned from the web.

You guys are crazy! Be objective... I LOVE That song, it's one of my all time favorites. It's not your *type* song that you get into obviously but that doesn't make it bad because you don't "get it". Cmas1964 was correct in his comments earlier. ALOT of people loved it. Maybe your next worst 20 songs list should be something that is *obvious* that NO one likes, but that wouldn't work either becuase frankly, there's SOMETHING for EVERYBODY... But I guess you "gotta sell papers" and fill in something your 'spinner' site. How about a list with songs by actors that try to crossover and sing, now THAT would be a trash top 20. (no one show's up to those events save for the fact that they are an "actor" lol)

When it all comes down to it, these songs shouldn't have been hits. But they were. Musically they are overblown (especially this one) BUT they were good songs, which is why they're on here. They're the best worst songs ever. I personally loves things like this BECAUSE I love the music on them.

What the fuck

That song is beautiful, inspiring and very passionate. The girl who sings really put her heart on it and the other girls did a wonderful melodic background with their voices. I love this song very much and I am not alone because there is a radio station where I live that plays it at least twice or more times every day.
Who says the song is ugly??? Ugly is your sense of hearing and your understanding of modern music.
