Worst song from each season?

[Azureth 687]

What would you say the worst song from each season is, and it has to be full-fledged songs, not just little short ones.

For me:

S1. You Got to Share, You Got to Care

S2. B.B.B.F.F.

S3. The Ballad of the Crystal Empire

S4. Flim Flam Miracle Curative Tonic

S5. Friends Are Always There For You

S6. It's Gonna Work 

S7. Flawless

Haven't watched season 8 yet.

Hmm, I don't know. The theme song?  It's true that "You Got to Share" can get on my nerves though. Lolz

[Dark Qiviut 22,510]

S1: The Crusaders Song. That stage show song from The Show Stoppers is grating, annoying, and unfunny.

S2: Find A Pet Song. Uninspiring and bland. Doesn't help the shitty episode it's in one bit.

S3: Ballad of the Crystal Empire. Nothing too exciting or catchy and exposits more of TCE's history and culture than faithfully shows it.

S4: The Cloudesdale "Anthem." Need I say more? (Intentional cringe aside, it's You'll Play Your Part for its repetitive lyrics, bland atmosphere, and plodding pace.)

S5: I'll Fly. A perfect example of how to write Dash as out of character as possible. Ignorant of the consequences to selfishly keep her tortoise awake.

S6: It's Gonna Work. Wanna write a song that completely screws up Rarity's growth? Make her act like Canterlot Boutique doesn't exist. Her side fits best for Twilight, not her.

S7: Flawless. The worst song of the series, and it's not even close. Not only does this shit excuse the crap from past episodes. It actively teaches kids that your character flaws don't need to change. My long status from last January breaks down why this song is so damaging to the show and the demographics it teaches to.

S8: School of Friendship. Very clumsy lyrics, melody, and just uninspiring as a whole.

As far as melody, instrumentation, and that sort of stuff is concerned, they're almost all good, though some are kinda forgettable. I feel that the title of "worst song" should go to those which are the least musically interesting, but I find myself objecting most to those songs with questionable lyrical content. So, here's my list, by season:

1. "Cutie Mark Crusaders Song" - Vaguely catchy, but it's mostly a cringe comedy bit, which really isn't my speed at all. 
2. I always found "B.B.B.F.F." sounded too much like other songs that season. 
3. "Celestia's Ballad" is really ruined by the context for me. It's probably the most emotionally-charged song of the episode, which to me makes it the most infuriating, because I hate the way Twilight became a princess. 
4. "Bats" - I find the intense way Applejack's parts are presented to be kinda noxious, given that the episode never gives her arguments any credit. 
5. "I'll Fly" - Again, context is the problem. I never want to listen to this, because I'm reminded that Rainbow Dash went through the stages of grief because her pet was, uh, going into hibernation. 
6. "Can I Do It On My Own," "Derby Racers," and "Find the Purpose in Your Life" are all incredibly bland. I can't really choose between them, partially because they all sound basically the same to me. Say what you will about "It's Gonna Work," but at least it's something different. This was a bad season for the show's music. 
7. This was an even worse season for the show's music, but "Battle for Sugar Belle" is particularly blah. Cringe comedy context plus hacky lyrics, and the music isn't even that good. Possibly my least favourite song in the whole show. 
8. I couldn't get into the intentionally awkward rhythm of "A Kirin Tale." I just wanted Autumn Blaze to stop rambling. At least it's not bland. Thank god this was generally an improvement over the last two seasons. 

[Midnight Solace 5,132]

1. Stop The Bats

2. Derby Racers

3. Unleash The Magic

1. The CMC song and You Gotta Share, but those were intentionally bad. Season 1 has the most good songs that blends into the story very well.
2. This Day Aria : Sorry. Just not my cup of tea. To put simple, it lacks catchyness.
3. The Ballad of Crystal Empire : The whole premiere was kinda unfocused.
4. Bats : I simply don't think it's a good song.
5. The Vote, Light of Your Cutie Mark : Mostly awkward
6. Derby Racers : The episode wasn't good too.
7. Blank Flanks Forever
8. Friendship U : Not the third time.

But the worse ones are the ones I can't even even remember that they existed.

[FlareGun45 2,221]

Season 1: Hop Skip and Jump

Season 2: Piggy Dance

Season 3: Behold, Princess Twilight Sparkle (but there wasn't a single song this season I didn't like actually)

Season 4: Bats

Season 5: Make This Castle A Home

Season 6: Can I Do It On My Own

Season 7: Battle for Sugar Belle

Season 8: School of Friendship

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,162]

S1: Evil Enchantress

S2: BBBFF

S3: Ballad of the Crystal Empire

S4: Bats

S5: The Vote

S6: It's Gonna Work

S7: Battle for Sugar Belle

S8: School of Friendship

I should note that while some of these are the worst of their respective season, I actually enjoy some of these. Some like School of Friendship and Ballad are ones I like; but definitely have an awkward feel to them. It's Gonna Work is a fun song with lovely instrumentation, but damn...Rarity's part feel off, and for good reason.
