These are the worst love songs ever penned and made into hits. We chose songs that were real stinkers but still made it to the Top 40 Billboard charts. Hit songs about love... that we don't love. Somehow they rose high (some even to #1) but... we don't know how.
1. Muskrat Love by the Captain and Tenille
...Eww.. that really has to top our list. Images of sappy silliness and rodent humping aside, this really doesn't do it for us at all. It was a big hit songs for the duo. Love songs shouldn't include rodents.
2. Silly Love Songs by Paul McCartney & Wings. Yeah, even a beloved musical genuise and hit maker can make mistakes. This one is really bad. Granted, his point was to make a bad love song but... mission accomplished.
3. You Light Up My Life by Debbie Boone. It stayed at #1 in the Top 40 for seven weeks! But no one can imagine listening to it one more time. Extremely sweet with syrup on top... too much.
4. Every Breath You Take by the Police... is the creepiest love song on the list. Stalker much?
5. I Will Always Love You as sung by Whitney Houston is a hard pass. No thank you.
6. Say You Won't Let Go by James Arthur. Too downbeat.
7. I Wanna Be Yours by Arctic Monkey. Okay, but keep it up in the Arctic. We don't want.
8. Love Stinks by the J. Geils Band. Yeah, it does. But the song doesn't really hit the mark either.
9. More Than Words by Extreme. If none of us ever hear this song again, it will be fine.
10. Butterflies by Kacey Musgraves. Eh... a little too much for anyone's taste. Right?
Honorable Mention: Close to You by the Carpenters.
Baby I'm-a Want You by Bread. David Gates wrote some good songs, but this one almost runs too sappy and too silly.
There you have it. The stinkiest love songs... too sappy to sing, even on Valentine's Day.
