Dumbest Songs that were Megahits

Just had some song flash through my head today, as I was wandering around the storeroom doing some meaningless filing, and that song was

"Wake me up, before you go-go, 'cause I don't plan on going so-lo."

and I thought to myself, what a stupid song, what a complete waste of energy and brainspace and why did it pop into my head after two decades?

So, not to step in Dave Barry's toes, but here's a quick list of stupid moronic songs that were actually megahits and really nobody knows why, because those of us who were there really did make fun of them at the time:

Wham - Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go
Billy Ray Cyrus - Achy Breaky Heart
Ricky Martin - Livin' La Vida Loca

and some of you out there may want to put on the list "Macarena" by Los del Rio, but to be honest, I think that song actually isn't all that bad! (as I dodge the tomatoes being lodged at my head by outraged audiophilies!)

and for those of us who go WAY back, back to 1968, (the year after Sgt. Pepper, the year OF the White Album - you'd THINK everybody would have really been really sensitive to put out their quality material, but NO . . . we get)

The Ohio Express with Yummy Yummy Yummy I've Got Love in my Tummy.

Oh, my Lord, how putrid!
