Nothing like a crapola Christmas song in April: Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer would be enough to send a few people to get their credit cards - plus, what is that song about the boy buying Red Shoes? American Pie is also enough to make people cry. Ode To Billy Joe Any of the Chipmunks songs. William Shatner has an album of big hits that will make most people want to move to a galaxy far, far away. The chicken dance song they play at weddings… ---

> [@Lute Skywatcher](#): > > [“Do You Wanna Hold Me” - Bow Wow Wow](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7BwRL2yhGQ) Yeah, I kind of like this song. And by “kind of”, I mean “really”. No, the eighties never actually did end for me, now that you ask. ---

Strange how tastes differ. I love “Boogie Oogie Oogie”, “Afternoon Delight”, “Sugar Sugar” (per _Billboard_, #1 song of 1968), “Mmmm Bop”, “The Rose”, “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy” and “Ode to Billy Joe”. ---

Heh. I actually do have a Top 10 WORST of list from my Playlist, and i’ll give it to ya- people up there are just giving you songs they don’t like it seems, i’ll give you pure hated shit: 1. WCSR: Kid Rock featuring Snoop Dogg 2. Revolving Door- Crazytown 3. Pimp Juice- Nelly 4. Wake Up Now- Notorious BIG feat. KORN 5. Bad Day- Fuel 6. Drunk and Hot Girls- Kanye West feat. Mos Def 7. Rape Me- Richard Cheese 8. 20 Margaritas- Big and Rich (okay, the crowd depending on how tipsy they are might like this one). 9. Portrait- POD And the WORST, WORST song you’ll ever play and the one the crowd will boo you for and beg you to turn it off: 10. Drunk Game (Sweet Sugar Pie)- ODB This list is a lethal deadly mixture of potent suckage. IF you actually DO accumulate all 10 of these songs and create a playlist out of them… May God have Mercy on your Soul. Because these people WON’T. (Though if you do manage to listen to all 10 of these songs, give me feedback on how it goes, I always love to trim my list to make it deadlier and better than ever). ---

Anything and everything by Modern Talking; in fact, pretty much anything involving Dieter Bohlen (be it as a producer, composer, or “singer”). Also, Kid Rock’s schmaltzy, autotune-infested abomination of a so-called ballad, “Only God Knows Why”. Happy retching! ---

> [@DMark](#): > > Nothing like a crapola Christmas song in April: \ There’s an idea - just play Christmas carols. There is nothing I hate more than relentless Christmas carols (at any time of the year). I’m going to look up a bunch of these songs and probably download them. 😃 ---

The top songs that would make me reach for my wallet to make go away: _Seasons in the Sun_ - Terry Jacks Anything post _Thriller_ by Michael Jackson _Billy, Don’t Be a Hero_ - the Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods version is bad enough, but Paper Lace would have me reaching for my life savings or a knife to slit my wrists. ---

Thanks for all the excellent, horrible suggestions! I had considered doing a single artist, but since the station is webcast we can only play three songs in a row by any one artist. ---

On the Frank Zappa album “Ship Arriving Too Late To Save A Drowning Witch” (the album that gave us “Valley Girl”) there is a song called “I Come From Nowhere” which is hilariously - and I assume intentionally - godawful to listen to. Then again, I suppose you could just play “Valley Girl” over and over.
