"What's the worst song you've ever heard that was so bad you can't un-hear it and you just want to slap the hell out of the producers who let it ride anyway?"
This was a question posed on Bakefook by my good friend Craig "Shawboxx" Shaw, a brilliant player of that oversize guitar called The Upright Bass.
His question thus provoked a huge outpouring of song titles from fellow musicians and singers. I could not believe the songs these people did not like and, as is my habit, proceeded to stand up for those songs so maliciously and wrongfully maligned. Makes me wonder about the taste of these people. Are they so elitist they've lost touch with the common man, also known as "the buyer of music"? Geez.
Here are some of the most egregious comments. See how I, as Your Citizen Journalist and Songwriter in Residence, have helpfully included the YouTube videos for you? I know. I am so awesome to be nice like that. Such a fine way to end a Friday evening. You'll sleep good tonight, I garr-on-TEE-it.
Enjoy!

POSTER COMMENT: I've heard plenty of really bad songs, but the one I seem to have zero tolerance for, can't stand hearing, and really can't stand playing, is "New York, New York"..... there's just something about it.
And I think I can safely say, it's been 38 years since I've had to play it...
