Worst Song Ever, 2007 Edition

Today's election day, and with no major races to decide in our area, it's time for an annual tradition on my show -- voting for The Worst Song Ever!

The polls are closed now, and the votes are tallied. We had lots of good nominees, several of whom got plenty of support, including "Billy Don't Be A Hero," "We Built This City," "My Humps," and "Timothy."

Our winner is one that's gotten perennial mentions, and actually won it six years ago. The runners-up, however, are new to the top three. In fact, the song at number two had never gotten more than one vote in previous balloting.

That said, the results of this year's election are...
