Interesting question, and could be taken more than one way...

In a good way:

Cocteau Twins & Harold Budd, The Moon and the Melodies


Okay, this is an album, not a song, but it's a great proto-ambient work that it's worth it. I used to listen to this when going to sleep in college.


Not in a good way:

The Beatles, "The Long and Winding Road"


Believe it or not, there is one Beatles song that is my least favorite, and this one is it. Paul has always been good at the schmaltz, and most of the time I can deal with it, but this particular song isn't one of his better schmaltzy songs...it's very trite and half-written, in my view. That said, this movie version (and the Let It Be...Naked version) is better than the overwrought Spectorized one.
