[QUOTE=Dangerosa] And the band played Waltzing Matilda… [/QUOTE] I came in to nominate that one. And add “No Man’s Land” (AKA “The Green Fields of France”) and the old ballad “Little Musgrave”, in which a one-night stand goes badly awry. I’ve got a Methodist hymnal here that’s full of possibilities, including ghastly-pun possibilities. “Come, Thou Almighty King”, anyone? ---

Well, I felt like I wasn’t doing Interrobang’s original thread justice, so read it. Happily, I didn’t duplicate anything there. But **Lieu** ,Honey, you posted to that thread. You just must need a Dap Lance (Bizzarro Stripper Music version), something awful. Nothin’ wrong with that; it’s such a great thread idea, and there have been so many fine suggestions here; so well- worth reviving it. But, make yourself comfortable, Lieu, and relax: the DJ is cueing up “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” for your pleasure. ---

Uh, yep, racer, have to say that you are right on time with that:[Honey lyrics - BOBBY GOLDSBORO](http://www.oldielyrics.com/lyrics/bobby_goldsboro/honey.html) “Honey” is the Holy Grail of bad songs. It’s been well-hidden to this date. Now that you have unleashed it’s Holy Terror, hope you have the Huevos to deal with that kinda Karma. “And see the tree how big it’s grown But friend it hasn’t been too long It wasn’t big And I laughed at her and she got mad The first day that she planted it, was just a twig” Refute, “Honey”, Go ahead. Bring a barf bag, and swelter in the heat until ya watch the tree grow and see the people under it, too. ---

I see somebody beat me to posting _Butterfly Kisses_. I would nominate the theme song of any animated TV series. It might work, however, if an anime convention was in town and the stripper was dressed like Sailor Moon or something. Other bad songs for stripping: _With Arms Wide Open_ by Creed _Luka_ by Suzanne Vega _Date Rape_ by Sublime _Dear Mama_ by 2pac ---
