Subject: RE: What the worst song you ever heard !!!
This is surely among the most entertaining of "regular returning topics".

Some listed here are among my favorites, but that's as it should be.

Last time I nominated JL's "Revolution 9" which I noticed has acquired some company now from the White Album.

This time I'll choose . . .

K. Rogers "The Gambler" (who's only advice should have involved smoking). A parody, set in a laundrymat, by a folky named Greg Trafidlo is really clever, though. And, oh, I get upset just thinking about this turkey. V. Lawrence's "The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia", wherein we are introduced to about ten characters, each at bit more rotten than the last, and none I would ever care to run into.

Lets see now; kid sister does murder, takes a powder, then suddenly turns up moments after her brother swings, for a murder he was about to do, cept she beats him to it. And the point? Condemn, the Georgia criminal justice system! No Appeals? No ballistics? No defense? Judge got his law degree from Sally Stuthers institute? A jury comprised of Gomers and Goobers? Made you kinda proud to be a Georgian? I can see why Johnny Rocker wanted to pitch there.

Musta done wonders for tourism.

Actually, I've met many fine people who call that part of the country home.

Hey, perhaps the point was to keep people from moving there.

Ya think?
