On what planet is the Beatles' track 'Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da' worse than Gazza's 'Fog On The Tyne' and Glenn Hoddle and Chris Waddle's 'Diamond Lights'? Well, this one apparently, if a new survey of the worse songs ever made is to be believed.
The classic Beatles track, off the White Album, beats Gazza's geordie nonsense to take the dubious honour of being the worst song ever. Gazza's song is followed by Meatloaf's 'I Would Do Anything For Love' (also undeserving of the worst song tag), then the Hoddle / Waddle duet, 5ive's version of 'We Will Rock You' with Queen, then Cliff, Vanilla Ice, Steps, and Liverpool football clubs 'Anfield Rap'.
Commenting on the poll, Ian Edwards, lecturer at the Academy of Contemporary Music, told reporters yesteray: "Admit it or not, most of these are songs that we liked when they first came out. That is the nature of pop music as a part of fashion. Songs are popular at the time, but times change and often this results in embarrassing additions to your record collections. It is interesting to note that they were nearly all hits."
