I think one of the worst songs of all time was Kid Rock mashing together Sweet Home Alabama and Werewolves of London.

"There’s nothing good about this song. It soullessly rips off not one but two classic rock tunes–Mr. Zevon is no doubt spinning in his grave. And the lyrics are just awful." http://www.darrenbarefoot.com/archiv...mmer-long.html

We had a hard time picking the worst Kid Rock song of all time because there are just so many to choose from. In the end though, this travesty won, thanks to that bit where he rhymes the word "things"... with the word "things" (it's not like "orange" — pick a different word!). And then samples "Sweet Home Alabama" in a song that's supposed to be about "Northern Michigan". Absolute nonsense from start to finish.https://archives.sfweekly.com/shookd...-####ing-worst

There's actually a podcast about how bad it is:

And the internet goes on and on about it - I guess I'm not the only one.
