“A Horse with No Name” has got to be one of the top ten worst rock tunes. “Sister Golden Hair” not too bad although the lyrics are pretty archaic now.

At least one parody of that song was done by Bob Rivers
(about Osama, Saddam):

>>He could be ridin’ through the desert
On a horse with Hussein
It felt good to get out of the caves
In the desert you can make up a fake name
And there ain’t no bombs
For to give you no pain

And I thought Bill Mumy of Lost in Space/Barnes and Barnes fame did a similar song spoof using the melody, about Saddam Hussein (early 90s)

Ah c’mon, I love that song. The completely indecipherable lyrics our part of it's mystique. Pure America.
