Worst Song of the Sixties?

See the tree, how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long
It wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it, was just a twig
Then the first snow came
And she ran out to brush the snow away
So it wouldn't die
Came runnin' in all excited
Slipped and almost hurt herself
And I laughed till I cried
She was always young at heart
Kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved her so
And I surprised her with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago
And it would sure embarrass her
When I came in from workin' late
'Cause I would know
That she'd been sittin' there and cryin'
Over some sad and silly late, late show
And honey, I miss you
And I'm bein' good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could

For those of you too young to have heard this Bowser when it was played incessantly on the radio in 1968, now is your chance:
If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!
I throw it in the cd player and it gets the women all weepy and then they come in for the hugs.[:p][}:)][^]
eeeaaagh!! [xx(][xx(]
i got a brand new pair of roller skates is the worst
"And you got a brand new key....."
Melanie, I believe.
Let's not even talk about Elton John or The Captain and Tennile (sp).
Tiptoe through the Tulips was by far the worst song of the Sixties.[B)]
And, Tiny Tim the singer of the song was one freaky S.O.B.[:0]
Tiptoe through the window
By the window, that is where I'll be
Come tiptoe through the tulips with me
Oh, tiptoe from the garden
By the garden of the willow tree
And tiptoe through the tulips with me
Knee deep in flowers we'll stray
We'll keep the showers away
And if I kiss you in the garden, in the moonlight
Will you pardon me?
And tiptoe through the tulips with me [xx(]

Your all wrong.[:p]

that there my friend is the winner of the god-awfulest song of all time, that a 50s song (cement mixer)
I think tiptoe first came out in the 30's, but Tiny sung his one hit wonder in the late 60's.
But ether way your right about it being the worst ever.[;)]

I still do his bit where he cries out, in that falsetto voice,
"Oooooh Johnnie!"
He married "Miss Vickie" live on the Johnny Carson show, highest ratings ever.
(Al Dubin/Joe Burke)
Charted in 1929 by Nick Lucas (#1); Jean Goldkette (#5); Johnny Marvin (#11);and Roy Foz (#18)
Charted at # 17 in 1968 by Tiny Tim
Tiny Tim (Herbert Buckingham Khaury) had a daughter (Tulip) with Miss Vicky, but they divorced 8 years later after living apart most of the time. He subsequently married twice more and died of a heart attack in 1996.
I still think anything by Bobby Goldsboro is worse.
Anyone remember the song, er I mean the primordial vocalisation? Joe
Her two little feet would come running into
Our bedroom almost every night
Her soft little face would be wet from her tears
And her little heart pounding with fright
She'd hold out her arm then she'd climb in beside us
In a small voice we'd hear her remark
Mommie and daddy can I sleep here with you
Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark
One day in the summer we took some flowers
To place on some old family grave
Jeannie said mommie ain't it dark in the ground
Oh daddy I'd be so afraid
Then she looked up at her daddy and me
And said something that broke both our hearts
She said when I die please don't bury me
Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark
Jeannie was always afraid of the dark and we never could understand why
Cause we looked after Jeannie with the very best of care
Because Jeannie was our only child
Perhaps it was death that she was so afraid of
Cause it took her one dark stormy night
I think we always knew that we'd never see Jeannie grown
Cause it seemed that she was destined to die
But on Jeannie's grave we've placed en eternal flame
That glows and never loses its spark
And on the darkest night there's always a light
Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark
Our Jeannie's afraid of the dark
Nothing like a song about the death of a child to lighten up your daily commute.

You are about to receive on John Barleycorn
Nicotine and the temptations of Eve
No parkin' by the sewer sign
Hot dog, my razors broke
Water drippin' up the spout
But I dont care, let it all hang out
Hangin' from a pine tree by my knees
Sun is shinin' through the shade
Nobody knows what its all about
It's too much, man, let it all hang out
Saw a man walkin' upside down
My T.V.s on the blink
Made Galileo look like a Boy Scout
Sorry 'bout that, let it all hang out
Sleep all day, drive all night
Brain my numb, can't stop now
For sure ain't no doubt
Keep an open mind, let it all hang out
It's rainin' inside a big brown moon
How does that mess you baby up, leg
Eatin' a Reuben sandwich with sauerkraut
Don't stop now, baby, let it all hang out
Let it all hang out
Let it all hang out
If I am not right on the decade then surely the onion song has to be the worst!
I also do not own any John Lennon (with or without Yoko, who was a "proformance artist"). If I did, I would not admit it in public.
Too bad.
"Imagine" is one of the greatest songs ever written.
I admit it.

Jack!
Gawd I hate that song...
Bop bop bop bop bopopopopopopop
She was afraid to come out of the locker
She was as nervous as she could be
She was afraid to come out of the locker
She was afraid that somebody would see
Two three four tell the people what she wore
It was an Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
That she wore for the first time today
An Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
So in the locker, she wanted to stay
Two three four stick around we'll tell you more
Bop bop bop bop bopopopopopopop
She was afraid to come out in the open (badadup)
So a blanket around her she wore (badadup)
She was afraid to come out in the open (badadup)
So she sat, bundled up on the shore (badadup)
Two three four tell the people what she wore
It was an Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
That she wore for the first time today
An Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
So in the blanket, she wanted to stay
Two three four the stick around we'll tell you more
Bop bop bop bop bopopopopopopop
Now she's afraid to come out of the water
And I wonder what she's gonna do
Now she's afraid to come out of the water
And the poor little girl's turning blue
Two thee four tell the people what she wore
It was an Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
That she wore for the first time today
An Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
So in the water, she wanted to stay
From the Locker to the blanket
From the blanket to the shore
From the shore to the water
Guess there isn't any more
It may not be the song but the artist and EVERYTHING done by Roy Orbison is a major turn off for me.

A friend of mine burned me a copy of a J. Lennon CD. I thought it was a great CD. It really mellows me out. And Imagine is a great song.
I never thought I'd like J Lennon, but I never thought I'd like ZZ top either, but she's gotten me into both.
I don't think you need the question mark in the thread title, perhaps an exclamation mark!
+1 Brandy comes close, Wildfire comes even closer.
oye...
"in the jungle the mighty jungle the lion sleeps tonite,

bobby sings about a dead wife and you call it the worse song in the 60's?

i HATE that song.I have a friend who, upon hearing this song, or even a piece of the melody, can't get it out of her head for a day or so.
Needless to say, I send it to her in emails every once in a while, just to remind her what she's missing. I think she hates me. [}:)]
"Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again...."
I have heard this song 500 times and I don't understand a word of it.
Can anybody explain this song to me?
"All the sweet green icing flowing down...
OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH, NOOOOWWWOOOOOOOOO...."
Short People was not a 60's song
