I can think of worse songs, but this one is definitely on the top (or bottom, as the case may be) 100 list of "worst songs."

Lovin' You, Having My Baby, and Afternoon Delight are on that list.

America the Beautiful is a great patriotic song. And You're a Grand Ole Flag is awesome. I also really love This Land is Your Land, and who can forget If I Had a Hammer?

God Bless the USA is a smarmy white-bread chauvenistic ode to privilege. It requires that the singer is a man - unless it's a nod to the LGBTQ+ demographic, considering the very first stanza:

If tomorrow all the things were gone
I worked for all my life
And I had to start again
With just my children and my wife
but somehow I get the feeling that most people singing this song are not women with wives.
