You may have to be of a certain age to appreciate it, but Dave Barry's Book
of bad songs
(http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/detail/-/books/0740706004/reade
r/5/103-2799839-9473430#reader-link) Is one of the funniest compilations of
bad pop music that I have ever read. He has much related to Gary Puckett,
Bobby Goldsboro (the original "Honey" hit encountered), Neil Diamond,
Stairway to Heaven, Macarthur Park, etc., etc. This Amazon link gives
several pages if you want to see if this hits your funny bone.

Last Saturday at the D. C. Big Flea, a seller of vintage rock and pop music
controlled the music input to the P. A. system. With all due respect, that
guy had terrible taste. Among other things, he treated us to a sentimental
chart ballad from the 1960s, "Honey (I Miss You)," sung by Gary Puckett and
the Union Gap. ....
