Nah, "Afternoon Delight" was nowhere near the worst. In comparison to something I hear about the place (and it might be that Dion woman bleating about going on) it's brilliant, and even "Escape" (Pina C) is better - there is at least a "joke" of sorts involved. That "going on" twaddle makes me wish she'd been strangled at birth.
The one about "I've never been to me" is equally dreadful and for some reason always makes me think of some godawful US soap opera like die-nasty with all the women wearing hairstyles by someone's cousin's boyfriend's half sister who never quite made it through hairdresser school.
Luckily I'm unfamiliar with most of the 50 on the worst list. Maybe a lot of them didn't make it far on the Australian charts. In any case the list was probably cooked up over a few drinks and has to be treated with appropriate respect, ie, none at all. There is some crap on it though.
There were pretty dreadful moonings going on in pre-Elvis days too. Some of Johnny Ray's stuff was dire. Moving forward a few years I've heard Dick Dale singing and as a vocalist and song writer (?) he's a good guitarist.
When rock sort of died around 1961 for a while the choice for worst was good. When the Beatles appeared around '64 they sounded a hell of a lot better than what was around and consequently shot to the top. Does anyone remember "The Fabulous Fabian"?
When I think about it, the choice is endless. Thousands of top 40 songs since 1950 and only one can be the worst? Most of it garbage anyway. Anyone like to draw straws?

My worst 5 songs for Boomers old enough to remember them:
1. Name Game
2. Jam Up & Jelly Tight
3. Afternoon Delight
4. Having My Baby
5. Chantilly Lace
I think a lot of folks might disagree with 4 and 5 but not me. I did disagree with several of the songs on the worst 50 list though.

Escape (The Pina Colada Song), by Rupert Holmes; I'm so ashamed that I know that.

In my own opinion "American Pie" it goes on and on. I heard it on the radio so much back in the early 70's that I never want to hear it again. Also "50 ways to leave your lover" by Paul Simon.
