I looked up the full lyrics to Do They Know It's Christmas just to refresh my memory.

I am now changing my vote. It's not Muskrat Love or MacArthur Park. Those are just bad. But the cringe levels in Do They Know It's Christmas are off the charts.

We Are The World is a close second just for a bunch of millionaires singing about poverty.

ok but what about Christmas Shoes?

I kinda lost the plot if this thread is about songs most embarrassing to the artist or to the person that listened to them.

I'm sort of in the same camp with 'hit'. Are we talking about a commercial hit, a cult hit, something by a hit artist but not a hit single itself, popular video with low commercial success?

Todd in the Shadows talking about Madonna made me realize I haven't heard a new Madonna song or remembered one since whatever that thing she did around the Superbowl, but judging by Youtube or Spotify plays, her videos are still doing several million of views.

Yeah someone posted this track in another thread a few months back (might have even been you tbh) and I’ve been listening to it ever since. Honestly it kinda slaps.

Keep calm and Harry on.

Christmas shoes is a godawful song, but it's a gimmick, and was not a hit. And all the radio stations around here have figured out that everyone hates it and stopped playing it. But they still play DTKIC.

Lyrics:
This was never the way I planned
Not my intention
I got so brave, drink in hand
Lost my discretion

It’s not what
I’m used to
Just wanna try you on
I’m curious for you
Caught my attention

(Chorus)
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don’t mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don’t mean I’m in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it

No I don’t even know your name
It doesn’t matter
You’re my experimental game
Just human nature

It’s not what
Good girls do
Not how they should behave
My head gets
So confused
Hard to obey

(Chorus)
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don’t mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don’t mean I’m in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it

Us girls we are so magical
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable
Hard to resist so touchable
Too good to deny it
Ain’t no big deal, it’s innocent

(Chorus)
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don’t mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don’t mean I’m in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it

Compare it with some no-effort commercial drone like "I Won't Back Down", which has about 4 chords and 5 words

When that song came out this metalhead kid I was in high school with went into a hilarious tirade about how lazy the guitar solo is in I Won’t Back Down, it’s only like three bendy notes! He was so pissed that Tom Petty was considered a great guitarist when Dave Mustaine could shred circles around him.

Dave Mustaine's voice is so goofy, it's impossible not to chuckle when he's going on and on about death and genocide and extinction and whatever else he sings about. He sounds like a bad SNL parody of a metal vocalist.
