I concur. This should win the worst song of all time award.
It actually makes me sad that radio frequencies can travel so far from our planet. Who knows who will judge us based on this song.
I'm not kidding, I clicked through on this link to answer with this.
It receives my vote.
Yes, agreed, this is a terrible, terrible song. Well played.
Crazy, I completely suppressed this song in my subconscious for this exact reason.
No no no. This is a great song!
major kid rock fan here!
Muskrat Love, by Captain and Tennille--at one point it was their #2 selling song. I swear it was the reason I hated taking the school bus:

Yeah, I actually did like this song when I first heard it...Now, listening to it again, I'm not sure what I was thinking.
I'm really creeped out when someone invokes their mother in the midst of more romance-oriented sentiment.
"Momma this sho'ly is a dream....."
Weird.
OK, so I got flack for picking Ween.
Well, turns out I like this song.

I love Save Ferris' cover of this song, and I loved the original too, if only for the totally cornball music video. An MTV Classic! Monique Powell's voice really did this song justice!
Yeah, but I got this country girl thing about men in coveralls. Even if they're kinda dorky looking guys in overalls.
LOL I Love this song. I could never see it on a worst list.

I don't know if you can really call it "rock" per se, but the 4 billion times I heard "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion in the 90's was enough to make me want to build a time machine, go back in time and cut out Mrs. Dion's vocal chords before she had the chance to sing it.

From the source...
When hip-hop stopped being the “black CNN”
Making fellow early-’90s pop-rap pioneer MC Hammer look cutting-edge by comparison, the chart-topping “Ice Ice Baby” was mindless white rap for mindless white people, set to the plodding bass line from Queen’s “Under Pressure” for easy move-busting. Lyrically, the Iceman recounts a trip to Palm Beach, where he is forced to reach for his “nine” by some moody dope fiends. It later emerged that this nice suburban boy fabricated his tough past and would probably soil himself at the sight of a real gun.
Worst Moment “To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal/Light up the stage and wax a chump like a candle.” None of this was remotely true.

Hehehe. I had that cassette when I was, like, twelve. Horrible through and through in retrospect.
Yeah, not rock...When we do the hip-hop list, though, you've hit it right on the head...
Hmmm... "Fact" refuted. Whatever.
The fact is when this song was released in 1990 rap was generally not considered a specific genre, and was being played on the same radio stations as pop music and rock music.
I'm sure we'll do this question for rap at some point in the future.
crazy bad, but not rock... Vanilla Ice doing rock was even worse

I am also a bit curious why this question was graced with the Google Ad for "Organic Goats Milk Soap". Must be related to Ween
This particular song is not one of their greatest, but as a child and a retard, I think Ween is the best!
OMG
I was totally into Ween in highschool.
I drew those little pointy haired happy faces all over crap.
Hey, I actually kind of like this song! It's annoying in a good way! Who's with me?
I think this question is proving the proverb:
One man's trash is another man's treasure.
I remember an article I read about them that said "Ween is music for children and retards". I love Ween just for the fact that they can be annoying.
The first time you hear it it gets bonus points for being unique.
But after time, the love affair wore off for me. Now all that is left is therapy to stop the voices...
