IMO. I was flipping channels the other day and landed on VHI Classic - 80's. the video for "Burning for You" by Blue Oyster Cult was on....and there's the lead singer, looking very uncomfortable and simply standing and singing in this horrid gold lamé jumpsuit.
for your consideration:

That's not even in the top 500 worst videos of all time. The jumpsuit is bad though.

The Billy Squier one was bad, I saw an interview of him a few years back on VH1 Classic and he said that he couldn't believe that he did a video like that. We Built This City was awesomely BAD, I can't believe they did such a lame song.
...but I humbly submit Fish Heads (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cn73Wtem0No) or I Ran (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fx7GqfQCZeg).
A new contender!

I saw him play as one of the acts at the OKC fairgrounds in 1990ish...which proves your point.

meh, playing in state fairs doesn't mean one's career is pretty much over. Some acts had a period where they did that, then had a resurgence in their careers.

The premise behind The Stroke was how slimy the music business was/is. Of course, the double entendre helped it sell I am sure.

THE STROKE Lyrics
Artist(Band):Billy Squier
Now everybody have you heard
If you're in the game, then the strokes the word
Don't take no rhythm, don't take no style
Got a thirst for killin', grab your vial and ...
Put your right hand out, give a firm hand-shake
Talk to me about that one big break...
Spread your ear-pollution both far and wide...
Keep your contributions by your side and stroke me, stroke me
Could be a winner boy, you move quite well...
Stroke me, stroke me...
Stroke me, stroke me...
You got your number down...
Stroke me, stroke me...
Stroke me, stroke me...
Say you're a winner but man you're just a sinner now
Put your left foot out keep it all in place...
Work your way right into my case
First you try to bed me you make my backbone slide
But when you found you bled me, skip on by... keep on
stroke me, stroke me
Give me the business all night long
Stroke me, stroke me (stroke)
Stroke me, stroke me
You're so together boy...
Stroke me, stroke me
Say you're a winner but man you're just a sinner now
Stroke, stroke, stroke, stroke, stroke, stroke, stroke
Better listen now said it ain't no joke
Let your conscience fail ya, just do the stroke
Don'tcha take no chances keep your eye on top
Do your fancy dances you cant stop you just stroke me, stroke me
Stroke, stroke
Stroke me, stroke me
Stroke, stroke
Stroke me, stroke me
Stroke, stroke
Stroke me, stroke me
Stroke
Do it.
Stroke me, stroke me.
Stroke
Stroke me, stroke me.
Come on, stroke
Stroke me, stroke me.
Stroke me, stroke me.
Say you're a winner but man you're just a sinner now...

there's an 81 live version, but for my purposes i'll link the LP version.
great bridge....."headlines, tail lights....showtime, no time, wasting your time...(falsetto)"...or whatever it says.
81 version, stereo simulcast on FM 102....bishes.

Every time I watch that I think maybe the singer is p**sed off at the chick for stealing his man.

Yep, The Stroke is pretty much the worst song on that whole album, it is full of much better songs than that one. He didn't have another good album until Hear & Now.
