As the title says, name some "bad songs" you love or like regardless.
For me:
Ace featuring Jaden and Willow Smith - Find You Somewhere - Man, some of the singing bits in this are laughable, but I dunno. I dig the background trancy beat. And if you watch the music video, Will Smith's kid's buck the trend that only white people can dance well to trance.
Autotune the News - Bed Intruder - This one is sort of cheating as the words were autotuned later. But I just love this song despite the "bad" singing. A one of a kind song (much like Biz Markie's). I challenge you to listen to this and not have the tune stuck in your head for ages afterward.
Biz Markie - Just a Friend - IMO this song is evidence that you don't need a good singing voice to make good music. For certain songs not having a good singing voice is what makes it so good. This is one of them. Has a very unique rhythm to it. Love this song.
Friday - Rebecca Black - A horrible song, I completely admit. I quite like it anyway.
Geto Boys - Mind Playing Tricks on Me - I have unique reasons for this one. When my now wife (then girlfriend) had a breakdown and was in a psych ward, I used this song as a way of bringing her back to reality. If only for a moment or two. Whenever she'd say "My minds playing tricks on me", I'd humm the beat to this tune. Would always make her smile and bring her back. Is it an odd tune? Sure. But I love it. If you've ever gone through a family member, or loved one go through severe mental trauma, then this is a good song to listen to (that isn't emo / depressing).
Marky Mark - Good Vibrations - Love this song. Sure his other songs are meh, but with this one he nailed it.
Tribe - Joyride - I'm sad that I only discovered this band MANY years after their hey day. If you like progressive rock stuff, this band was underappreciated IMO. The good side to it, is that due to their music not doing very well commercially many of the band members went into the games industry (eg Terri Brosius aka SHODAN, others later went off to Harmonix and helped make "Rock Band" etc). If there is an alternate universe where this band did well and kept making albums, I want to be in that one. Love their music. On discovering their music I immediately fell in love with their stuff.
Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby - Now yes the dancing is funny sure, but the tune is excellent. The "Ninja Rap" song he did for the second TMNT movie I'm a big fan of as well.

Nah, music is too personal, important, goddamn emotional for me to ever love a bad song. If it's bad, it's bad.

If you love it, how can it be a bad song?

I've liked songs hardly anyone else liked but I wouldn't call them bad-

I tried to sing Cameo's Word Up in karaoke with a younger crowd, and one of them literally turned it off mid-way.
I guess they're not fans of people putting their hands in the air like they don't care.

White boys cant sing Cameo songs my dude, thats why it was turned off.
ps I am a huge Cameo fan, well anything electro funk/soul from the 80's really.
