Worst Cliff Richard song

"Obviously he's completely shite so what's the worst one?

Believe this is whats called a rhetorical question,where the poser of the question also answers themselves

You don’t build a half century singing career entirely on shit songs.

Just because you don’t have a taste for cliff songs doesn’t make them shit. I’m absolutely sure there are songs that you love that I would really not like, and vice versa.

Some of the early rock and roll songs like 'Willy do the hand jive' were excellent but a lot of the ballads were terrible. D in love - for example.

The Millennium Prayer completely eclipses all others for crapness and crassness. I'm not a fan, but he has some that are passable. Most rubbish though.

I would have said Devil Woman but I'd forgotten that gem, probably as a result of the trauma it can inflict on the accidental listener who it catches unaware

I still enjoy the video for Wired For Sound. Showing that he was still relevant to the eighties kids with their walkmans, roller-skates and lycra.

Totally calm, don’t see anything in the post that could make you think even vaguely otherwise, as for decent cliff songs, here’s a few;

Move It

Travelling Light

Please Don’t Tease

Theme for a Dream

When the Girl in Your Arms

It’ll Be Me

On The Beach

Throw Down A Line

Goodbye Sam Hello Samantha

Miss You Nights

We don’t Talk Anymore

Not true, he carried his fifties/sixties teeny pop fan base with him through the generations... they are all OAP's now and still love him and his songs! Oh, except that song 'My Ding a Ling', they never liked that one... but forgave him for it!

Mum loved him. Always playing him around the house growing up. When it became known that he was gay she just said he'd not had a night with her. Blamed Sue Barker who he was reported going out with for a while.

All a matter of taste. Love him or hate him he is a great entertainer and a bit of a national icon. Wouldn't have lasted this long if he wasn't. Some of his songs are good. Others not so. Far better than some of the caterwaulers who people rave about.

Always thought a Jesus freak surfing on the R&B wave was a bit off, and after that he was just irrelevant. Most of his output was anodyne, hard to know what was the worst. "Summer Holiday", perhaps. And there was a Christmas number, all but three earworm bars of which I forget.

No, Devil Woman came out in 1976, plus I think cliff quite liked Thatcher, sadly, otherwise, I agree that it's his best song, and Millennium Prayer the worst.
