I always thought Seasons In The Sun was a guy regretting having been a black sheep, gotten in trouble with the law, and facing execution. Close enough to suicide, so maybe I just misinterpreted.

And I always liked it, but it was a formative stage in my life and I can be strange anyway.

As a minimum, I demand a second place finish because Scipio committed the following infractions of the rules:
1.) Copied "We Built this City"
2.) "Afternoon Delight" is from 1976

Please send me, Eric LinDholm an E-mail when you correct this travesty of justice.

Ah, yes. But the other rules stipulated that all judgments are final and some restrictions applied. Also, the sheer awfulosity of "Boot Scootin' Boogie" and "Acky Breaky Heart" add lots of bonus points. Even "Chatahoochie" (which, I gather, is hotter than a hootchie coochie) is arguably worse that anything Whitney Houston ever did.

I like:
Candle in the Wind - Elton John
Seasons In The Sun - Terry Jacks
American Pie - Don McLean

And face it, the only reason people hate Vanilla Ice is because he is white. 99.9999% of rap songs suck worse than his.

LOLOLOLOLOL. I HATED every single song mentioned, but they forgot Joe Cocker's "You are so beautiful", Minnie Ripperton's "Lovin' You" and Paul Anka's "Having My Baby" and these really, really bad ones by other forgettable artistes: "Beach Baby" "It's Magic.." and anything by Banana Rama, as well as Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach." Rod Stewart's Young Hearts Be Free or whatever it was, and his "Maggie May" songs. Oh heck. Anything by Rod Stewart in his disco phase

Bonfire of the Vanities - Week 5
The Bonfire of the Vanities returns! This weeks gathering of the usual suspects is as always abominable. Posts were gladdy offered up to the raging inferno that is the Bonfire... Before you wallow in their misery, ask yourself, "Did I...
