altarielVia the BBC website, we learn that Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da has been voted the worst song ever in an online poll.
Allister of Belfast notes: "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da isn't even the worst Beatles song. It isn't even the worst song on the White album."
Dan of Essex points out: "I saw an album by William Shatner in a record shop yesterday and track one was a cover of Common People by Pulp. Until Jim Davidson covers Ghost Town, this has to go down as the greatest travesty in the history of pop music."
But don't you somehow want to hear it?

I also have particularly unfond memories of 'Torn Between Two Lovers' (Mary McGregor), 'Mississippi' (Pussycat), 'Terry' (Twinkle), anything by Brotherhood of Man, and almost everything by Cliff Richard (but especially 'Saviours Day').
