Desjay: Actually, a national "Worst Song Ever" countdown, done in America, back around (IIRC), 2004 or so named "We Built This City on Rock and Roll" by Jefferson Starship as the worst song ever.
Worst song ever? Maybe one of the worst lyrics, but music...
The video was also awful. I think most of the hate focused on Starship came from Jefferson Airplane fans.

The music was just as bad, it was 1985 cliché Keyboards and Rock Guitar and had the over-processed 80's snare with the gated reverb and regular reverb.

Strangely enough the lyrics were written by Bernie Taupin.

The Blender ranking of the song as the worst song ever was in conjunction with a VH1 Special of The 50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs...Ever.
In order to qualify for the distinction, the songs on the list had to be a popular hit at some point, thus disqualifying many songs that would by general consensus be considered much worse.
Blender editor Craig Marks said of the song, "It purports to be anti-commercial but reeks of '80s corporate-rock commercialism. It's a real reflection of what practically killed rock music in the '80s."

The VH1 list is here. I really like some of the songs from it.

And I like this one too:
