[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 294398, member: 1991"] Madonna's cover of "American Pie" is right up there with the worst. I used to hate "Spill the Wine" but I can JUST stand it... "Having my Baby" is on my hate list also. "Redback on the Toilet Seat" was played non-stop on the juke box in my sister's outback pub that she ran 40 years ago. The miners would come in and shove a handful of coins into the juke box, then hit the numbers for that song repeatedly. There was one ghastly song back in the 70s - Steve Harley, "Make Me Smile" (Come up and See me) - the chorus in the background singing "bup bup bup bup bup bup bup bup" on the one note sounds to me like they're trying to give the lead singer the correct note, because he can't sing for nuts and his off-key mess affects me like fingernails on a blackboard. "Horse with No Name" always struck me as pointless lyrics and boring chorus, with tedious chording. And form a band who could so often do so much better! Same goes for Beach Boys' "Cocomo" - what a let-down of a song after "Good Vibrations" and so many more wonderful songs! But then, I believe there exists a piece called "Drop Kick me Jesus Through the Goalposts of Life" as well as "It's Been Lonesome Here in the Saddle Since my Horse Died Yesterday..." Marg [/QUOTE]
