See if you can locate YouTube (or other) links to musical monstrosities at least as terrible as these: [Downtown by Mrs. Miller](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fw07CDid0JM) [Florence Jenkins massacres Mozart](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtf2Q4yyuJ0) [Stayin’ Alive - Jo Stafford (As Darlene Edwards with Johnathan Edwards)](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8do_Vsc4Frw) ---

I’m going with musical awesomeness on this one. Or at least video awesomeness: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/MaCZN2N6Q_I/hqdefault.jpg "Hot Chip - 'I Feel Better'") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaCZN2N6Q_I) I don’t know how to describe it but I can’t not watch it. Edit: the real band is in the audience. They are the third group of fans to get blasted in the end. ---
