You're Having My Baby

Paul Anka was already forgotten in 1974.  His last hit record had been back in his teen idol days in 1959.  Then in 1974, out of nowhere, Paul Anka went all the way to #1 on the hot 100 with :"You're Having My Baby".  Paul wrote the song for his wife and family, but was almost immediately labeled a chauvinist for what a lot of people perceived as a song about the baby being the man's.  Sheesh, it's just a song about a man in love with his wife.  But the song was also voted the worst song of all time in a wacky poll, and today it's a forgotten oldie.
