7. This list is much, much worse than Part 1. |
|
I absolutely despise every song on that list. Did I say "despise"? I couldn't even vote, because that would imply that some of the songs had a quark's worth of merit; they don't.
Yes, the reaction is definitely :puke:

After first hearing that song the excellence of Where Did Our Love Go seemed like a very long time ago.

11. "Tie A Yellow Ribbon" has done immeasurable damage! |
|
The meaning of the gesture has been completely misinterpreted from the story line of the song: "I'm comin' home, I've done my time."
Somehow the Murkin Public has twisted the expression of forgiveness for a convicted criminal into "Support our troops."
Feh. :puke: dbt

22. Pillow Talk was a hit for Sylvia |
|
Her name was just "Sylvia".
Actually it wasn't a bad song. Orgasmic moaning in music has to be blamed on Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin for "Je T'aime". If you ever have a chance to listen to a cover version of "Je T'aime" without the bed chatter, you'll discover a great song.
