1. Agadoo - Black Lace (1984)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POv-3yIPSWc Aga doo doo doo push pineapple, shake the tree! Aga doo doo doo push pineapple grind coffee! To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees Come and dance every night sing with a Hula melody! One of the ultimate grotesque cheesy songs of the 80s, when you hear Agadoo, life will drain slowly from your body, leaving you a shell of your former self. A huge hit in Britain - where it reached #2 in the charts, and also all over Europe. Taste went out the window in a spectacular global fashion with the mass purchasing of Agadoo. Complete with a crappy little dance to go along with it, Agadoo must have been played in parties the whole world over in the 1980s. How anyone enjoyed getting down to this rancid piece of cheese is beyond me. A frightening thought - it may still be played at parties! 80s revival parties. The song has no fans and has been named as the worst song ever written by Q magazine in 2003. No class and an abundance of cheese.
