30 Day Song Challenge Day Two: Least Favorite Song

The sort of vapid question that plague these lists.
I mean, unless you had some kind of Batman-esque formative experience and thugs gunned down your parents while Welcome to the Jungle poured from the rolled down windows of a nearby Pontiac GTO, how much can you really dislike an individual song? You listen to 30 seconds of a song, think "huh, this sucks" and never hear it again, unless it's playing in the grocery store or something.

So I'll present a group award here for my least favorite genre of music, soulless money-grubbing pop. Music that exists only because the performer wanted to be wealthy and famous, cynically guided to completion with Mass Market Acceptance as its north star.

Rather than provide a link, I'll just recommend throwing a dart at any Top 40 Singles list from the late 70's to early 90's. Chances are you'll land on a fine example of the genre.

Okay okay, that's cheating- how about I'll pick a year (say, 1985) and I'll link...hmm, how about Billboard's #10 single of the year.

Voila! My official Least Favorite Song!
