I nominate: "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" by Wang Chung. (No. Really. Have fun tonight. We mean it.)

I thought this was worst song titles. The worst lyric lines I believe is in non-new wave relevant, where you can vent on what's really bad of that song-- "Everybody Wang Chung Tonight" (or should that be "everybody huang chung tonight")? [:D]

Not to hop on board the Grammar Police, but "spelt"/"misspelt" are acceptable British-English. Your (I'm guessing) intentional misspelling? Not so much.
Back to the topic with a pair of runner-ups...
"How Can the Labouring Man Find Time for Self Culture?" - Martini Ranch (I can't even say it, let alone sing it)
"Teenage Enema Nurses in Bondage" - Killer Pussy (Not being a, how you say, scat/S&M fetishist, I found myself struggling to relate to the important message behind this one. Get it? Behind. Enema. I kill me.)

De Do Do Do De Da Da Da is a crappy title for a really catchy song but probably the poorest (is that ok???) in the Zenaytta album. I can think of 6 songs among the album better than this one. However... I love how Sting looks in the video.
What an hypocrite... I love how Sting looks... the thing is that I love Sting. [:p][;)]

[b]•Japan "Adolescent Sex" [/b] It was wrong then and it's wrong now.
[b]•Bad Manners "Ne Ne Na Na Nu Nu" [/b] silly.
[b]•Bow Wow Wow "W.O.R.K (N.O. Nah No No My Daddy Don't)" [/b] most likely McClarens doing.
[b]•China Crisis "Orange Mutt Mutt Dance" [/b] hoo boy.
[b]•Cocteau Twins "Suckling The Mender" [/b] almost every C.T. title is this absurd.
[b]•The Cult "Aphrodisiac Jacket" [/b] oh c'mon!.
[b]•The Cure "A Man Inside My Mouth" [/b] indeed.
[b]•David Sylvian "A Bird of Prey Vanishes Into a Bright Blue Cloudless Sky" [/b] I love the Sylvian but sooo pretentious.
[b]•Jean-Michel Jarre "Wooloomooloo" [/b] feh!

Ah good point. I got caught up in its overall badness... I can't think of the title without the follow-up "wang chung" line (hurls).
In that case, I re-cast my vote for "When Mama Was Moth" by Cocteau Twins. Blergh. And I freakin' love the Twins.
And, it's not really new wave technically, but "Deep Down Trauma Hounds" by Skinny Puppy makes me cringe. Oi.
