I actually hate when they play "Magic Foot" from Spelling Bee on Sirius Sat Radio...

or anything from that show..I think I would hate it...

Hard to believe no one's mentioned "tugboat" from Thou Shalt Not!

Oh, I think I'd blocked "Tugboat" from my mind! Thanks for bringing it back, Craig :)

Seriously, it's not the worst song ever, but it definitely won't be playing on my CD player anytime soon.

Got another...I don't even know what show it's from but it's on my radio right now--

Gonna Build a Mountain--sung by Anthony Newley..OMG GET IT AWAY!

i third "who's got the pain?" (it makes no sense.)

i also don't like "something bad" or "wonderful". but they need to be there for plot purposes.

i dislike many of the hairspray songs too (miss baltimore crab! UGH!!)

It was from the musical of Exodus called "Ari". I have a tape of an unreleased studio album . I do not know the title but , as I recall, it tried to rhyme every known flower in the world to another one. Absolutely deadly & it should have been outlawed by the Geneva Convention as cruel & unusual punishment

Stephanie the Star, It's from STOP THE WORLD, I WANT TO GET OFF. The only thing that bugs me about the song is the way Newley sings "moun-TANE".

As much as I love Adam Guettel, "Children of the Heavenly King" from Myths & Hymns just bothers me. There's something about it. It could easily be the singer. Just give me Audra and I would love that song.

THAT'S WHY I HATE IT!! MounTAN...gawd....grrr...

he is a VERY annoying singer...

dont hate on the magic foot!! its a visual thing, you have to be there to understand why its funny. it sounds like you havent seen the show. but to each his own.

"closed for rennovation" from little shop is pretty annoying

"Call Back in the Morning." Is quite irksome as well.

"Johanna" from Sweeney Todd makes me cringe

I happen to like Ms. Baltimore Crabs...

Have to agree, "Rare Songbirds on Display" makes me cringe. I love Side Show, but I can't listen to that song.

"June Is Bustin' Out All Over" drives me up the wall, as does everything in the clambake sequence.

I directed a high school production of Little Shop a few years back. I liked "Closed for Renovations", but despised "Call Back in the Morning". I had actually never even heard the song before because in every previous production I had seen the song was cut!

THE RIDDLE SONG from FLOYD COLLINS, a most annoying song.

Even more obnoxious than "Neat to Be a Newsboy" from WORKING?

I gotta say, I do listen to and enjoy "Miss Baltimore Crabs."

I second whomever said "Magic Foot." I think the whole Spelling Bee cast recording is great fun (especially since I was in spelling bees when I was younger) and I understand that "Magic Foot" is a very visual song, but the song itself, without Barfey dancing away, is....well...not the best.

'Mad Bomber' from 'Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up' followed closely by 'High School All Over Again' from 'Is There Life After High School?'

(Why do shows with comically long names seem to have such awful songs?!?)

""Dancing through life" from Wicked is the song I find most painful to listen to"

Something Bad is a trillion times worse.

Alot of songs played ad nauseam can be really irritating. I can't think of something really horrible off the top of my head...but really can't stand certain parts of When Brooklyn Grew Up.

[MargoChanning]

"Superlover" from Brooklyn

[nelliecollins]

I think "The Riddle Song" is brilliant. However, "'Tween A Rock and a Hard Place" is really hard for me to listen to. LOVE Floyd Collins though.

I would like to second the following as 'worst songs':

"Dancing Through Life" from Wicked
"Rare Songbirds on Display" from Side Show (LOVE most of that score though)
pretty much the entire score of "Applause" (minus the title song)

Just about anything from West Side Story.
