Unquestionably the most GODAWFUL piece of CRAP I *ever* heard was
a song by an Australian band called 'Derek and the Wrecks.'  An 
announcer comes on and introduces a gentleman by the name of 
'Chuck Solids.'  Some terrible intro music is followed by this guy 
singing to a girl, telling her how much she moves him and how much 
he needs her, and will she come back to....ULP, URCH,...come back
to his pla...RETCH, HEAVE....  That's right, folks, this guy
(Chuck Solids, natch) starts to vomit uncontrollably with many splashing
sounds (bile on the floor/surroundings, presumably) and *continues*
trying to seduce the girl, punctuating his lines more and more freq-
uently with polysyllabic retchings.  This is *everybody's* nightmare
party guest.  The sounds are so vividly lifelike I almost blew
chunks myself when I first heard it.

This song has taken first place in the Worst Song of the Year Contest, held by 
some radio station in Sydney, Australia, for two years running!  The
telephone vote tally favored it over its nearest competitor by greater
than a two-to-one margin....the switchboard went CRAZY.  

Need I say more?  I thought not...
