Much less contemplation needed.... No moving pictures, but this makes "hell in paradise" sound like Beethoven. Make sure you get to at least the 2 minute mark. I dare you to listen to the whole thing.
Amusing note: In the 80s, I was on a skiing trip in Vermont when we decided to head to Burlington one night for some action. We found ourselves in a bar with about 20 people, and a jukebox. One of my friends knew this song, and for fun he put about $3 in the jukebox and played this song for an hour straight. We ended up betting on who would leave next....when... it was hilarious to a group of college kids.
I'm guessing the owner of the bar had that song removed from the jukebox the next morning. Nobody was happy with us, and we obviously had done it... because we were the only ones laughing.
I came here to enter any Lennon-Oko song that included her caterwauling. Thanks for doing the hard work of dredging that up. No I could make it to 2 minutes. I don't have enough drugs for that.
Also worth mentioning: "Loving You" by Minnie Riperton and "Muskrat Love" with Captain and Tenille.

No argument on the winners, but given the title of this discussion thread, Grammy nominees are likely overqualified.
Verily. My story with that song is probably more personal than aesthetic. I worked in the trades for a number of years, and depending on what sort of work I was doing there was often someone playing a radio nearby - often very loud - and often from the local classic rock station, which didn't just play Zeppelin, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Floyd, etc., but also newer and contemporary rock hits. I didn't mind it really, I could deal with the pre-1985 stuff and I liked most of the the slightly newer stuff like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, STP, etc. But the station would also play contemporary stuff, most of which was pretty good, if not just "listenable", but something about that song annoyed the hell out of me, and it was played constantly.
May not be "the worst song ever" but it's pretty bad: whiny vocals, bad lyrics, formulaic, terrible band name, etc... I never understood why it was a hit but I would hear it frequently.
I am 99% sure I've never heard that song in my life. But maybe it's just that forgettable because I already can't remember any of the words.
Interesting - it's still a lousy tune (to me anyhow). Grammy nominations or winners seldom carried much weight for me: Starland Vocal Band, Christopher Cross (who won 5!), Milli Vanilli, New Vaudeville Band's "Winchester Cathedral" over the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby"...?

A title to be contemplated for sure. My ears bleed for you..
