It is just possible that Adam Faith's 'Rubber Ball' was the worst r&r song ever!

I vote "Seven little girls sitting in the back seat" as the worst song ever, closely followed by Rolf Harris with "Two little boys".

All worthy contenders for bad songs but the question was about r & r which I take to mean Rock 'n' Roll.



I'm sure the wombles did something that could be said to be in that genre which was truly awful.

I really don't want to be pedantic, but I will...

Unless A. Faith did a cover version 'Rubber Ball' was Bobby Vee's hit. Please correct me if this is incorrect. Ho ho ho!

TopTen this was about worst records - not about listing cover versions - we'd need a separate thread for that.
