Awful Songs That Are Actually Awesome

God, if I went through my stuff to find everything that was awesome/awful... I loved/lived music in the 80s and as bad as a lot of it was, it's still what I prefer to listen to. What I loved about the 80s was the sense of fun in most of what was made. Plus, I love a good synthesizer.
Remember Samantha Fox?

I thought I would add a song to this one that I never thought was awful, but the actual tune is probably anything but original. However, the song is one of my favorite paranoid songs. "Blood Makes Noise" by Suzanne Vega. There have been many renditions of this over the years, but this video catches the spirit of the song.

My buddy met his wife in a bar the night that he played "KungFuFighting" 20 times in a row on a juke box.
From this I've learned that I must only listen to 'awful' music because some of my favorite songs have made it in here...
The KLF (featuring Tammy Wynette) "Justified and Ancient" was an out-of-nowhere hit in 1991, reaching #11 on the Hot 100. I liked the KLF anyway, and grew up with country music, so when this came out I thought it was too cool. Totally cheesy, but nothing less than art at the same time.

Pantera "Walk". Just a terrible song, same chords, same words, but for some reason I always rage when I hear it.
The acoustic of 'overkill' was also really good.

Not sure you're getting the point. I think those are all three pretty universally appreciated. Great stuff to be sure but not sure they fit the awful part of the requirement.
