Bad Songs Ever" and Blender magazine's "Run for Your Life! It's the 50 Worst Songs Ever!". 1950s–1960s "Yes, Sir, That's My Baby", Harry Kari and His Six Saki Sippers (1953) The mock-Japanese novelty record (a cover of a 1925 hit) was one of many released by dialect comic Harry Stewart under an alias (most of his others were under the name Yogi Yorgesson). While Stewart's records routinely got bad reviews in the press, a brief but particularly scathing review in Billboard may have earned the record enough publicity to chart on the magazine's own charts and prompted radio stations to play it. One radio disc jockey disparaged the record on-air as "the worst record (he had) ever heard" when playing it, and the record's poor quality inspired those in the music industry to record intentionally bad songs under the logic that if Stewart's record could be a hit, so could theirs (one example being "There's a New Sound" which purports to popularize the sounds made by worms). "!aaaH-aH ,yawA eM ekaT oT gnimoC er'yehT", Napoleon XIV (1966) This record consists solely of "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!," a novelty hit for Jerry Samuels under the Napoleon XIV stage name, played in reverse, to the point that even the titled artist is not Napoleon or even Samuel, but "Vix Noelopan", the stage name spelled in reverse. In Dave Marsh's 1981 book The Book of Rock Lists, Marsh describes the song as the most obnoxious song to have ever been placed in a jukebox, noting it once caused a diner with 40 customers to be evacuated in the time it took to play the record in its entirety (shortly over two minutes). "Paralyzed", Legendary Stardust Cowboy (1968) This record features T Bone Burnett on drums and consists of one-chord strums, random and mostly unintelligible screaming, and an abrupt bugle solo. It was identified in the 1994 book The New Book of Rock Lists as the worst song ever released by a major label. Rhino Records also included it on The World's Worst Records. The Legendary Stardust Cowboy developed a cult following and is an outsider music icon who has received praise for his unorthodox work. "MacArthur Park", Richard Harris (1968) In 1992, Miami Herald journalist Dave Barry conducted a poll among his readers, who selected the Harris original as the worst track ever recorded, both in terms of "Worst Lyrics"
