I like one of those hell songs. I’m too craven to admit which one, though. ---

Dr Hook and the Medicine Show - [If Not You](http://lyrics.duble.com/lyrics/D/dr-hook--the-medicine-show-lyrics/dr-hook--the-medicine-show-if-not-you-lyrics.htm) _Who’s going to water my plants…_ Donkey Kong could throw you off Niagra Falls in a locus invasion while your first born is being sodomized by Mario, as you watch via satellite in a barrel full of flesh-eating bacteria, and only slightly reach the maelstorm shitfest Lollipop Guild gang-bang that is the timeless question “who’s going to patch my pants?” To hell with you, Dr Hook.

You know, when I opened this thread I wasn’t sure which song I’d pick, but then **kunilou** had to mention “You Light Up My Life”. All my GF has to do is sing “Yyyoouuuu…”, and I’m instantly curled up in the fetal position with my hands over my ears, rocking back and forth and humming to myself. Even if I’m driving. :shudder: ---

> [@Spectre of Pithecanthropus](#): > > \*All these people talking > All this stuff about me, > Why don’t they just let me be? Isn’t that from a Bobby Brown song? My vote goes to “In the Living Years” by Mike and the Mechanics. I can’t even THINK about the song without wanting to slit my wrists. It’s this eerie combination of loss, depression and outright suck. Blech. ---

Ah-another floating lump in the musical cistern just came to mind: _Wedding Bell Blues_ by the 5th Dimension. Whining manipulative crappola to drag some bum named Bill down the aisle. He’s probably shagging the maid of honor. 😃 ---

Huh. I guess I’m immune. Of course, I’ve never heard of the song in question before, so I suppose that explains it. There are at least four songs on my list, all of them absolute anathema to me: Dead Teenager Songs. The first four that come to mind are “Last Kiss”, “Tell Laura I Love Her”, “Teen Angel”, and “Leader of the Pack”. And what do you know, two of them are on the Jukebox. ---

Patches. Patches is good because there are two awful, terrible, no good, puncture your eardrums with an awl songs called Patches. There’s Bobby Goldsboro’s Patches, made infamous by Dave Barry’s Bad Songs book and there’s the worst song ever recorded by a black man-- Clarence Carter’s Patches. If you have never heard Carter’s Patches and wish to listen to it now, I suggest you hide all the razor blades in your home because it will cause you to slit your wrists in despair. ---

I like some of these songs, too, but I wouldn’t want to listen to them for eternity. It’s a tough choice, I almost want to say “Havin’ my baby” but there’s a song I absolutely despise that I think is worse. “The Freshman” by The Verve or The Verve Pipe, never remember which group. What the hell is that song about? I think it’s about suicide but I think it’s because it makes you want to commit it. We hates it, we hates it forever! ---

Ugh! Bobby Sherman, _Julie Julie Julie do ya love me?_ , and Tommy Roe had too many to list, like _Jam Up and Jelly Tight_ or _Sweet Pea_ (with that great drum solo). I get bugged by the Byrds _Chestnut Mare_ , not that it’s a horrible song but the lyrics creep me out. ---

> [@adam yax](#): > > Is it _Midnight at the Oasis_? Because that song always make me think of _Waiting for Gufman_. No to both guesses, although I, well, don’t hate either of the guessed songs, either. This just proves that I’m not going to hell. I’d like the music too much.
