Thread Name: Stupidest song you ever heard.
Subject: RE: Stupidest song you ever heard.
I agree about Ode To Billie Joe.   It seems like a very true-to-life portrait of an ordinary southern low-income rural family and how they might respond to an event like Billie Joe jumping off the Tallahatchie Bridge. (The song kind of reminds me of The Beatles' "A Day In The Life.")

As I said earlier in this thread, there's a difference between a song being really bad and one just being played over and over till people get sick of it. "Jingle Bells" is a fine old song, but I'm already sick of it for this Christmas season, and we have 2 more weeks to go. LOL
