Peace - you've had us all fooled. . . . . you are a cruel, twisted, evil and nasty piece of work - - - you're also now my hero; how do i learn to get THAT evil? I mean I thought I was pretty good at it but man YOU have raised this to an ART FORM !!!!!

Honey, Nobody's Child, Patches, Hey Paul; Hey Paula, Yummy Yummy Yummy AND Don't Worry - Be Happy.

They are evil on SOOOOOOOOOOOOO many levels - - - ALL of them !!!

However, I must display a slice of my own (likely) bad taste - I actually rather like the sentiments expressed in "Daisy a Day" - the words are a bit mawkish at times, but the sentiment is beautiful: I'm reminded of a far better song in a similar vein by Australia's John Williamson called "Wrinkles".

Second 'Bad Taste' point: Kenny Rogers "Ruby": I love this song (sorry Jenny O) while I sympathise with your torturous experiences I love this song for two reasons:
My all time favourite student while teaching at a boarding school (polite, charming, hard worker, articulate for someone whose second language was English, reasonably pretty) was named Ruby. One day she began 'wilting' in class and complaining of a headache. I asked for her to be taken into town to the doctor and checked up, but the principal over-ruled me and out her to bed because she "had 'flu" - 'flu had been running through the community. Next morning she was dead. Bacterial Meningitis.
My other reason is because for ten years I was 'Padre' (chaplain) to the Vietnam Veterans Motorcycle Club here in Australia - an honour I shall treasure always - and those boys helped me to understand the frustrations and hurts of being a 'Vet'

HOWEVER - back to the really bad songs - especially mawky ones: You can't bring up all these 'stinkers' and NOT add in "The Son of Hickory Hollis' Tramp"

And if were gonna completely gross out the readers and cite "Don't Worry Be Happy" then I have just three words for y'all:

"ACHY BREAKY HEART"
