Interesting Fact # 1036 - Worst Song

The worst song of all time (as voted for by a panel of music writers) is going to be re-released, 25 years after it appropriately hit number 2.

(It's called Agadoo, and it's by Black Lace. Just to remind people how awful it is, here are the lyrics and the song:-

Ag-a-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree,
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee,
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees,
Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody.

I met a hula mistress somewhere in Waikiki,
Well she was sellin' pineapple, playin' ukulele,
And when I went to the girl, come on and teach me to sway,
She laughed and whispered to me, yes come tonight to the bay.

The lovely beach, in the sky the moon of Kauai,
Around calypso sarong we'll all be singin' this song.

Ag-a-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree,
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee,
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees,
Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody.

Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree,
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee,
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees,
Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody.

And down on the shore, they gather romance,
She showed me much more, not only to dance...

Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree,
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee,
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees,
Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody.

Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree,
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee,
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees,
Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody.

The lovely beach, in the sky the moon of Kauai
Around calypso sarong we'll all be singin' this song:-

Ag-a-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree,
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee,
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees,
Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody.

Ag-a-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree,
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee,
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees,
Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody.
