Black Lace's "Agadoo" became one of 1984's biggest novelty hits, reaching No. 2 in the United Kingdom and remaining in the Top 75 for 30 weeks. Nearly two decades later, however, a panel of music writers gave the party favorite a far less flattering honor.
Released in 1984, the song paired a bright party sound with simple dance instructions involving pineapples, trees and coffee. Its easy-to-follow moves helped make it a natural fit for weddings, school discos and vacation resorts, even as BBC Radio 1 declined to include it on its playlist because it was considered "not credible."
On Nov. 24, 2003, that commercial triumph received an unexpected footnote when a panel assembled for Q magazine named "Agadoo" the worst song of all time. The writers described it as "magnificently dreadful" and compared it to "the school disco you were forced to attend," according to This Day in Music.
For a track condemned by critics, "Agadoo" has proven remarkably difficult to leave behind. Its place in music history may not be especially prestigious, but after more than four decades, people are still talking about it.
