Question of the Day

What is the worst single from the 1980's?

There really are tons from which to choose—oy, what a decade! I could go for something obvious like Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing," but instead I'm going to nominate Berlin's interminable "Take My Breath Away" otherwise known as the "love theme" from Top Gun.

That song really and truly does make me want to barf. I'd sooner listen to "Danger Zone" on a loop for 20 minutes than sit through the entirety of "Take My Breath Away" once.
