The Worst Song of 1977
Before I reveal the ultimate terrible 1977 song, here’s a look at what we’ve gone through so far… #10: Dean Friedman gave us too many unnecessary details on “Ariel.” #9: “Tonight’s The Night” Rod Stewart’s going to have creepy sex. It isn’t “Gonna Be Alright.” #8: I “Ain’t Gonna Bump No More” with no Joe…

“Muskrat Love” by The Captain & Tennille: The 2nd Worst Song of 1977
By now, you’ve probably gotten used to my lengthy intros for these worst list entries, but I’m keeping this one short because you all knew this next song was going to be on this list. I knew, at least a year before taking the challenge, that this was going to be high on the list. …

“Float On” by The Floaters: The 3rd Worst Song of 1977
R&B in the seventies. There was a ton of great music in the seventies, but after wrapping my head around it long enough, I’ve come up with a decision.

“After The Lovin’” by Engelbert Humperdinck: The 7th Worst Song of 1977
You know? When I started these worst lists, I thought it would be fun. I watched content creators tear into songs like “Drive By” and “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)” and thought lots of comedy could be had by riffing on bad songs. But the years I’ve done haven’t given me much regarding bad songs where…

“Ain’t Gonna Bump No More (With No Big Fat Woman)” by Joe Tex: The 8th Worst Song of 1977
Guy #1: “Yo mama’s so fat, when she goes to the movies, she sits next to everyone!” Guy #2: “Yeah, well yo mama’s so fat, her stomach is the world!” Guy #3: “Oh yeah? Yo mama’s so fat, I did the bump with her… and I got knocked down!” And on that tasteless note… “Ain’t…
