"The Tokens' song "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" to me was one of the all time awful songs, "

When I was 13 I used to listen to Cousin Brucey on the radio after my parents sent me to bed. I had a tiny Japanese transistor radio that I would put right next to my ear under the covers. "The Lions Sleep Tonight" was my favorite song!

As a kid I listened to Cousin Brucie and Harry Harrison all the time, especially late at night, when I was supposed to be asleep because it was a school night.

"The Lion Sleeps Tonight" was a favorite then, as it is now.

Pop songs back then were meant to be money makers, not to be taken seriously. I think "worst pop song" might be a bit of an oxymoron, as would "best pop song".

I like most all of the ones labeled "worst" in this thread. They bring back fond memories.

Although, I could have done without "Rock The Boat" and "Ring My Bell"

Especially when they got to the part that went:
"Hup Hup" Awinga watt Awinga watt"
Loved that song.
