The only rule is that these had to've had some airplay either on the radio or on a video channel. It's more fun if there's a good possibility others here have heard them. Some of my "favorites":
Billy Ocean - Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrkKwjCnIpY
Gotta love songs that suggest abduction. People actually liked this song. Music, and people, in the 80's were completely effed up. This will be a common theme.
Firehouse - Don't Treat Me Bad
http://youtube.com/watch?v=YR8OwyQMguk
Somewhere along the line, it was determined that this type of "music" was on the same par as Metallica and Slayer. The video for this song was actually shown on Headbanger's Ball. This whiny, high-pitched full frontal assault upon the ears was actually considered "heavy metal". Listen to this guy whine about how he won't cry anymore. Are you effing serious?
Slaughter - Up All Night
http://youtube.com/watch?v=0JJXy2pKy7A
Same as above. Mark Slaughter looooved to climb the scales, as if he believed the higher the falsetto, the harder he rocked. I seriously wanted this guy to accidentally fall into a vat of acid.
Calloway - I Wanna Be Rich
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2s99ycqEvGc
The first time I heard this flaming pile of moose shit, I dubbed it the worst song ever. All these years later, and I think it's still holding up that honor. Not one instrument on the entire song, and the video shows one of the band members lifting weights for no apparent reason. I hate this song with every fiber of my being.
