Ron, I didn't suggest it for the worst songs list, I used it as counterpoint to a trite song like "Mandy" (or you could use the equally trite "Brandy") to blow it out of the water. It's what you call passing one text over another in literary circles. It gives you a way to compare and contrast, and in this instance it is No Contest.

Some of the songs mentioned aren't bad, and they weren't all mentioned because they were bad. Some just simply suffered from extreme over exposure. Too much of anything isn't good for you, and that includes some songs. It's why my days of falling back on classical music were so refreshing. They can only play Beethoven's Ninth Symphony so many times in a month, let alone a week or a day. But "One Tin Soldier" and many others that got dissed much more than "Afternoon Delight" seemed to turn up all over the place all of the time for a while. Gag.
