Tacky party anthem Agadoo by Black Lace has been named the worst song of all time by music experts.

The track, which made it to number two in the charts in 1984, picked up the dubious honour by triumphing in a poll for respected music magazine Q.

It beat other horrors such as Orville’s Song by Keith Harris and Orville and there’s No-one Quite Like Grandma by St Winifred’s School Choir.

Black Lace enjoyed a string of novelty hits in the 1980s but the duo were unable to match the success of the track which stayed in the UK top 75 for a colossal 30 weeks.

Agadoo, which was accompanied by a silly dance, was only held off the number one slot by George Michael’s Careless Whisper.

The track was chosen in a poll of dozens of Q writers as the worst song to go in a special edition of the magazine honouring The 1001 Best Songs Ever.

Top song in the Q poll was One by U2.
