THE Birdie Song, which has haunted family discos and prompted displays of appalling dancing for nearly two decades, was today voted the most annoying song of all time.
The irritating classic by The Tweets, which reached number two in 1981, fought off competition by Teletubbies and Aqua to claim the top spot.
The poll, commissioned for Internet site dotmusic, was bad news for Kylie Minogue whose timeless I Should Be So Lucky finished fifth.
Novelty
The singer, who went on to find more pop credibility and recently scored a number one with Spinnin' Around, was one of only two acts included in the top ten whose songs were not novelty hits.
Chris De Burgh was the other with his chart-topper Lady In Red. Music fans might find them annoying but seven of the 10 made it to number one.
Andy Strickland, dotmusic editor, said: 'While we wait for this year's answer to the Macarena or the Vengaboys, it is worth reflecting on some atrocities of the past. The Tweets are worthy winners of most irritating record.' The top 10 is as follows:
1. The Birdie Song - The Tweets.
2. Teletubbies Say Eh-Oh - The Teletubbies.
3. Barbie Girl - Aqua.
4. Agadoo - Black Lace.
5. I Should Be So Lucky - Kylie Minogue.
6. We're Going To Ibiza - Vengaboys.
7. Grandma We Love You - St Winifred's School Choir.
8. Shaddap Your Face - Joe Dolce Music Theatre.
9. Achy Breaky Heart - Billy Ray Cyrus.
10. Lady In Red - Chris De Burgh.
