Can these songs really be more annoying than Sugar Sugar, Brandi, MacArthur Park, ... ? I can't go on.

I'd vote for Small World as well! Surfin' Bird would be my #1 Punk song...

This song is more annoying than any of the songs listed above, save for Achey Breaky Heart. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYC2FUutdKA&ob=av2e

My thoughts exactly!
I'd say the most annoying song would have to be Katy Perry's I kissed a girl.

In it's defense, Surfin' bird did make it to American bandstand, full metal jacket and got the trashmen sued however annoying.
But I was hoping to see "Free bird" and mostly anything by KISS on the top 10.

I have a feeling you guys aren't annoyed in the same way that I am... Narcissism, egotism, lack of originality, trite bullshitism.
I can't help but love Coconut and the How Do You Do songs.
Richard, if you find that one of the most annoying songs of all-time... then I want your life. The stuff I've been subjected to... oh my god...

SURFIN' BIRD rules!!
if you are annoyed by that song, so be it
it's probably my favorite 45 rpm -- I guess I'm automatically attracted to it's pure "unsteadiness", if you catch my drift
ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba etc.

the only thing that annoys me about this song is that most people think it is by the ramones.
one of the coolest songs to sing along for me. it kept me awake after sitting behind the wheel for 10hours to drive to the surfer joe festival last summer ;)
