Plus, my college marching band would play a cheese ball version of it, which was both funny and ultimately catchy.

Marching bands are great. As you say, they can make the worst song likable. There’s a couple high schools near that have fantastic, sizable ones that just wow you in the local parades. 
 

Cheese ball version? That’s a thinker, but I think I got it.

Are you nuts?  I LOVE this song - summer of '78 vibes.

 

Same here. Got my first job working in a pizzeria that year. Brings back memories every time I hear it.

My sons high school marching band was sizable and every year the half-time show was impressive. I'll never forget my eldest coming home with the music freshman year and the closing song was Karn Evil 9. Awesome. Other years they played music I didn't care for (Pit Bull, Avicii) and it was still great. Good times.

 

Back to the thread, here's a song that was pretty popular that I could never stomach:

 

Shout, shout , let it all out. This is a song I could live without!

the funny thing is that it’s easy to get the song stuck in his head.  We sing Mr Roboto and he freaks out - dropping ear worm torture  lol

Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street. The saxophone is like nails on a chalkboard. I quickly switch stations whenever it comes on.

I went back and listened to a bunch of old pop songs that I used to hate, and none of them seemed as bad as I remembered. Except this one.

To each their own - and I mean that sincerely. I have no doubt there's a lot of music I like that others can't stand.

Apart from the song and video itself, what made it worse for me is that it came from a band that I liked years before it came out.

drippiest song ever

That is a good one. The opening piano part is simple, yet challenging. 

 

My band does Everybody Wants To Rule The World. I had to make the bass part somewhat challenging. So I drop the E to D for starters. I used to play harmonics on the first couple of notes of the chorus, but instead, I'm up to the 19th fret on the G string, and the 17th fret on the now high D string, and then playing a whole step down (17th and 15th fret respectively) on the second part. All while riding the tuned-down low D string. That keeps me on my toes.
