Thread Name: What the worst song you ever heard !!!
Subject: RE: What the worst song you ever heard !!!
Kim C - yeah, I remember Telephone Man. I almost mentioned it, but it didn't fit in with my posting about obsessive boyfriend songs. Thanks for doing the dirty work for me.

Deck of Cards is right up there with Teddy Bear as one of the worst recitations ever. They never say whether or not the judge fell for the whole cards/bible thing, but I'd like to know that he gave the guy life in prison. Preferably with hard labor.

"Stuck Inside of Mobile With the Memphis Blues Again". Maybe there's a deep, meaningful message here, but I'd prefer to know that Dylan purposely wrote it as pure nonsense, and is getting a real kick out of listening to people try to find a meaning to it all.

"I am, I cried, to no one there, and no one heard me at all, not even the chair". A chair is not "no one" it's a thing. And chairs don't hear. Why does that come as a surprise to Neil Diamond?

All the songs from "Cats".
