"Ghostbusters" often makes worst lists but don't know that one. I have heard that Peaches and Herb song. That is pretty bad. In fact i think i agree enough to add it. Dead

 
"Jack and Jill" is much worse than Ghostbusters.  At least Ghostbusters had a decent hook, but Jack and Jill had such a bad synth part in it and was just stupid. 
 
And you were right, "Solid" was not by Peaches and Herb, it was "Ashford and Simpson", but you can add "Reunited" to that list too.  Some of these pop bands can sound alike, it's still garbage.

fun fact
Both Ray Parker Jr of Ghostbuster song fame and Michael Sembello, composer of the song "Maniac" of Flashdance fame, were part of Stevie Wonders band in the 70s. Which I find is a cool coincidence, both played on integral albums by Stevie of hes classic period.

The Ohio Express version of this track is pretty bad, but it sounds like Death Metal compared to the original by the 1910 Fruitgum Company which is even worse.

I'm a panhead hybrid! No I don't like Right Said Fred but I don't hate it either. I'm a huge fan of late 70s and early 80s new wave though especially synthpop which ironically owes a lot to Kraftwerk, Neu and other electronic bands on this site

You probably love this one too.
Strange twist, until I saw the guy on the right I had no idea Hugh Laurie was in the "band"

I would go with the Village People's YMCA and Los Del Rio's La Macarena as the two pop songs I would be happy to never have to hear again.

OMG! We're on different wavelengths with this one. I actually LOVE this song.
I recently just got the whole album and i LOVE the album too!
In fact Men Without Hats is one of my favorite synth pop bands.

Sorry to hear you don't like S-A-F-E-T-Y safety Dance!!!!
But you can dance if you want to LOL

it's an Euro-disco song, thick French accent these girls have LOL

Shiploads of crap have been poured out over our heads over the last five decades, but this is a fine example of the worst category indeed.
