1. that is a tough choice

but i had to go with billy ray

[VelmaD]

2. Oh my dear lord...

that is a tough choice. Had to vote for Billy Ray...at least Afternoon Delight had the occasional pretty harmony. And Achy Breaky Heart spawned that stupid lince dance.

3. Line dancing

Oh the humanity!

4. kick

5. Achy Breaky wasn't that bad of a song. It was just extremely overplayed...

Billy Ray's mullet and the stupid line dance were far more frightening than the song itself.

Now Afternoon Delight, on the other hand, was scary :scared:

Except for the Circle Jerks cover, of course.

6. Oh sweet Jesus that song (Achy Breaky Heart) was annoying

I used to replace the word "heart" with "fart" and "tell" with "smell".

[tyedyeto]

7. Billy Ray...any day. n/t

[mvd]

9. Pretty equal actually

Both are throwaway, but aren't too bad IMO. I think "Afternoon Delight" is slightly better due to the harmonies.

10. "Achy Breaky Heart"

"Afternoon Delight" is good ol' seventies corn. I give "Achy Breaky Heart" the edge in worseness just because it was a much bigger hit than it should've been and was insanely overplayed. It's actually no worse to me than your typical cheesy country-pop song ("The Love Bug", "Little Bitty", etc.) And Billy Ray had some follow up hits (on the country charts, at least) that were alright.
