I was having a clear out over the weekend and came across a box of stuff in the loft with the words 'keepsakes' scrawled across it. Almost top of the pile was a little notebook that I used to write down the titles of all the singles that I used to collect.

Oh, boy! I hope my taste has improved over the years. For though there were a few songs I still love, the rest of them were - well, frankly, complete pants. So here, some from my 'collection', some from the 'Top Twenty' chart lists I pasted in my notebook (probably cut out from 'Jackie') and some that are played as 'classics' on the radio, are a few of the songs that must rate as the worst songs ever:

‘Ernie’ – Benny Hill
‘Agadoo’ - Black Lace
‘Rabbit’ – Chas and Dave
‘If’ – Telly Savalas
‘Save your love’ – Renee and Renato
‘Macarena’ – Los Del Rio
‘Two Little Boys’ – Rolf Harris
‘Chirpy chirpy cheep cheep – Middle of the Road
‘Shaddap you face’ – Joe Dolce Music Theatre
‘Granddad’ – Clive Dunn
‘The Birdy Song’ – The Tweets
'Achy Breaky Heart' – Billy Ray Cyrus
‘Lady in Red’ – Chris de Burgh
‘Where do you go to my lovely?’ - Peter Sarstedt
‘Seasons in the sun’ – Terry Jacks
‘I will always love you’ – Whitney Houston

Needless to say, none of them have been downloaded onto my ipod!
