Subject: RE: what's the worst song you ever heard?3
Lesley Gore's old hit, "It's My Party" from the early '60's, I think. That's one. As the late Jimmy Durante used to say, "I got a million of 'em, a million of 'em."

By way of injecting controversy, how about Jimmy Buffet's classy "Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw?" In the same category, there's Kinky Friedman's ol anthem dedicated to Gloria Steinem and womens' lib, "Get Your Biscuits in the Oven and Your Buns in the Bed!"

What's great about this list is the near-perfect illustration of the old maxim, "One person's meat is another's poison." I saw several songs I still like listed as dreck, while others I detest were favorites of some folks.
