There's a song for that. El Watusi was a #17 hit in June 1963 for Ray Barretto and an uncredited Wito Cortright.

Yes, based on the show. Starring Tom Hanks and Dan Aykroyd. It's one of those movies where if I was channel surfing and it was on, I'd always stop there and watch it. Just a fun movie, start to finish.

Well, gosh, y'know, one of.....one of my, my favorite Jimmy Stewart movies is, uh, Pot O' Gold from 1941. Jimmy, y'know, actually sings a song in this one, When Johnny Toots His Horn – and 22-year-old Art Carney has a small uncredited role as a radio announcer. I wonder if Aaron has seen this movie. It's been colorized, and....and....well, it's on YouTube. (In several interviews, Jimmy said he considered Pot O' Gold to be his worst film. I disagree.)

IMO, any old guy can come up with an obscure movie that ran 50 years before Aaron was born. I think it should be limited to movies he potentially could've seen.

When I use Google on my phone, I get this seemingly random assortment of news stories. Except they're all related to my online activity. One that I just got was about Roger Ebert's most hated film, 2001's Freddy Got Fingered. Ever see that?

Yes. The Criterion Channel is one of my favorite sources for classic movies. A few months ago they featured a selection of movies considered to be among the worst ever made and that was one of them. I watched it just to watch it. Yeah, it was horrible.
Ishtar, while not great by any means, wasn’t that that bad.
Bonfire of the Vanities was not good but not terrible.
Howard the Duck may be the worst I’ve ever seen.

List of films with a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes - Wikipedia
The only one of these I've seen is Problem Child. "I drove over a thousand miles to hang out with a seven-year-old? "I'm gonna be eight in two weeks." "Don't count on it!" The theme song by the Beach Boys was played over the closing credits – but most people leave the theater as soon as the credits start, so few people heard the song. Leonard Maltin gave the movie 1½ stars: "Bad performances and crude jokes."

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
"Ishtar" (I have not seen) was projected to be a can't miss Hollywood blockbuster classic. When it wasn't it got a bad wrap as being absolutely awful. If it had been promoted as an average mediocre movie, it wouldn't have got the bad wrap ... but then it would be completely forgotten today.

I have to add "Leonard Part 6" and the classic "Plan 9 from Outer Space".
My high-school friends and I famously walked out of "The Last American Virgin", but now I see it has a good rating. We would go to movies just to sit in the front row and drink. But after suffering through the first half, one of my friends said "Why don't we just leave?", and I thought that was the most brilliant idea ever.

"Waterworld" was another that suffered from huge expectations but was just ok therefore disappointing.
