That is the ONE and ONLY commercially-made-in-the-past-10-years Disney CD that I have REFUSED to buy .

"Climb the Mountain", with its catchy, addictive melody, is actually one of the songs I'd most like to see released on CD from the films/parks. I'm not sure of the exact meaning of the word "cheesy" other than it has some sort of negative connotation. I first heard that word at the college radio station I used to DJ at, used by a few of the "hipsters" to describe anything I played that *wasn't* loud, harsh, abrasive, hard, aggressive, unmelodic, or obnoxious. In short, my entire playlist! So when I hear that word it usually brings a positive connotation to my mind that I associate with a freedom from everything I dislike about music 
I love "Summer Magic" with it's beautiful female vocal and lush, gorgeous melody. I like it about 100 times better than "Femininity" and would love to see it released on CD one of these days! Like they say, I guess variety makes the world go 'round.

I think I'd really like to hear "Disney Handbells". Once. Just to see what they could have possibly done. And then never again.
It's funny seeing Oliver brought up--I recently dug up that CD for something, and remembered how much I enjoyed both "Good Company" and "Why Should I Worry?". The rest of it is pretty forgettable, though.
"En Scene S'il Vous Plait"...yeah, I picked that CD up in Paris after seeing the show, and don't even think the plastic's come off. What a weird show.
There are so many Japanese releases, which is great...but the sheer number means there will be some clinkers there, too. A lot of the newer "Eurobeat" stuff just does nothing for me.

Okay, I've read through this entire thread and there seems to be two kinds of posts: a) the "worst" song; and b) the song we can't stand to listen to ever again (but not necessarily bad).
To answer a), I would have to say the worst songs are:
The Computer Song
Strange Things (Toy Story)
Enjoy It! (ISO The Castaways)
The Droid Rooms
To answer b) the song I really never want to hear again (but not necessarily bad)
The one song that I will always skip/ff is MSEP. Although I love the parade, Baroque Hoedown has been so overplayed that I just cannot stand it any longer. It's not bad - it's not a favorite either - but repeated listening to a song that you don't have any "feelings" for just drives you crazy after a while.
Is it safe to come out yet? :

Heh...now you know how I felt when I dissed "Feed the Birds"!
Actually, your division between "truly bad" and "can't stand to listen to" makes a lot of sense. Even after all my griping about it, I'd put "Feed the Birds" definitely in the latter category--it's not a "bad" song, just really not my thing.
For "truly bad", I always come back to "Once Upon a Time in Anaheim", from the Disneyland 25th anniversary TV special. Even worse as sung by (if I remember correctly) Danny Kaye.
Oh, and "Fantasmic"--you hate A Christmas Fantasy? Wow, I love that song, even as repetitious as it gets in the parade.
