Well, wimpiest and worst is, of course, "Honey" fir which Bobby Goldsboro should have been turned over to the Taliban... Or worse... You know, like being strapped to a chair and made to listen to the song a hunnert times...

But wimpiest (while not being the worst), I hate to say, is Roy Orbison's "Crying"... Downright wimpy...

Little Hawk-

I had my doubts about this song but it's sung really well on your link.

Now I'm not sure how well it might be re-interpreted with 5-string banjo, flat-pick guitar, and washtub base, but it just might be worth a try.

However, it's definitely not a shanty/chantey/chanty.

Bobertz keeps bringing up "Honey" everywhere and while I too felt it was the worst thing ever on ANY list, I solved the problem with a simple modification of the lyrics..........Now its not so schmaltzy!


"HONEY".......(revised edition)

See the tree,
How big its grown
And now you're dead
I can't get blown
I've got an itch.
When you were alive
It cost twenty-five
Why did you always charge so much
You fuckin' bitch

Our tree grew large,
It fell on you
Now you're gone,
My balls are blue
I can't get laid.
So now I've started shagging sheep
And sometimes chickens in their sleep
But they want paid.


Oh Honey I miss you
Cause when you were alive
I could at least get a hand job
For a buck fifty-five.


Works better for me now!

I have to agree with Jim Carroll although perhaps not for the same reasons. I like my protest songs to suggest some kind of solution to the problems of the world. Dylans belief that the answer is blowing in the wind offers no solutions whatsoever. Another classic along the same lines tells me that whatever problems I have there's always someone worse off. Stand up Ralph MacTell and Streets of London.

Subject: Lyr Add: STREETS OF BRECHIN (parody of "..London")
From: Little Hawk
Date: 13 Dec 09 - 02:28 PM

My own feeling about protest songs is that if they get too specific they tend to turn into dour, turgid polemics which don't wear well at all with time. They thus have a very short shelf life. Much of the stuff Phil Ochs wrote is like that. The thing I like about "Blowin' In The Wind" is that it has a timeless and universal quality. It could apply to almost any time period. That makes it far more effective as a song that will endure and continue to mean something to people.

I find "Streets of London", however, to be maudlin and quite uninspiring...but it does have a good melody.

I sometimes play a parody I wrote of "Streets of London" called "Streets of Brechin". Brechin is a small and quite unremarkable little place not far from where I live. It's not near as bad as I make it out to be in the song...it's just a small rurual place where basically nothing ever happens at all...and that makes the song a lot funnier for the people who live around this general area and who know Brechin.

It goes like this:

The Streets of Brechin

Have you seen the sidewalk kids
Who hang out on the streets of Brechin
Baseball caps upon their heads
Nothing much within
Vacant faces, witless poses
Nose ring dangling from their noses
Killing time and dreaming about
The Seven Deadly Sins

And how can you tell me you're lonely?
And say your life's a waste of time?
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of Brechin
We'll do some checkin' that'll make you change your mind

And have you seen the daily gathering
Of the Brechin Lionesses
With their bulging shopping bags
And their gossip magazines
Catching up on local scandals
Staring down the teenage vandals
If you run afoul of them
You'll know just what I mean

And how can you tell me you're lonely?
And say your life's a waste of time?
Let me take you by the ear
And lead you through the streets of Brechin
We'll do some checkin' that'll make you change your mind

And have you seen the closet queen
Who minces through the streets of Brechin
Past the scowling rednecks
And the jeering kids
No one there to peck or pinch him
Come sundown they'll prob'ly lynch him
Then get drunk and wreck the place
Just like their daddies did

And how can you tell me you're lonely?
And say your life's a waste of time?
Let me take you by the nose
And lead you through the streets of Brechin
We'll do some checkin' that'll make you change your mind


The important thing is to get the "hand, ear, and nose" part in the right order in the 3 choruses! ;-) You must finish with "nose" for the best effect. This song is my antidote to having heard "Streets of London" way too many times over the years...

Most of the younger men around here do wear baseball caps, and nose rings were really big about 10 years ago...but thank God that fad seems to be wearing off now. What you see more now is tongue studs and little decorative thingies pierced subtly on the side of a girl's nose and some eyebrow piercings too, but not many of those wretched nose rings any longer...

Most mothers actually said the equialent of,

Que sera, sera

After, of course, we actually said,

Will I be happy, mama?
Will I be rich?
Hunh, mama? Hunh, mama? Hunh? Hunh?
Will I? Will, I mama?......"


.....real fast and real loud.

I suppose, in the 60's, folks would've said,
"The answer's blowing in the wind! GO CHASE IT!"
(prefferably in traffic)....



WHAT, Spaw?
No "See my trunk, how big it's grown.....I'm horny, I miss you?"'
Actually, the old Smothers Brothers TV show had a great skit based on that song....


And rivalling "Baloney In The Wind"

"Yes, and how much woood could a woodchuck chuck
If a woodchuck could chuck woo-o-o-ood?...."



....as a great inspirational song that has touched countless millions by being able to mean any blessed (or damned) thing you want it to, I nominate:

                   LET IT BE


An old drunk I worked with on a midnight shift once growled out one night as it was playing on the Oldies station that only changed its playlist every two weeks and played it all in the same order at the same time,

"Let WHAT be?"

...andI always imagined somebody miraculously experiencing a sighting of Mother Mary Herself (It had to be her. She had the yellow circle around her head, just like in all the paintings!) who, after being asked what she has come to tell this totally awed soul, smiles benignly on this person and says,

"Let it be!"

...and the confused recipient of this miricle asking, hopefully before she fades away again,

"Wait! Wait!
Let WHAT be?
Do you mean let it ALONE, let it HAPPEN, let it EXIST or WHAT?!?!?!?!"

To which the Revived Stranded Virgin snarls disgustedly,

"If you don't know by NOW, chump, you NEVER will! I'm wasting my time here. You just BLEW IT, kid..."

                     (POOF!!!!!)


"WAIT! WAIT!......."

....But alas, the miracle is gone with no buzzer or Parker Bros. home game as a consolation prize and another Great Mystery remains unanswered...


Not just anyone can screw up a bonafide miracle and, of course, this poor simple being is devastated, haunted for life and rendered absolutely useless to the world at large by simple words of Wizz-Dumb.

Mr. Vinton and Mr. Goldsboro and Mr. Sovine never quite did it on such a cosmic level.....

Well, I don't know if any of them are jocks are not; their biographies don't say. I'm guessing they're not, if only because their busy schedule of rehearsing and performing would probably interfere with the demands of being on a sports team. This was probably always the case.

But they're still singing The Whiffenpoof Song. I can't see whether their faces are straight or not, but I'm guessing they are.

I agree that Que Sera Sera offers totally useless advice!

And that "Having My Baby" is probably the most insipid (not to mention male chauvinistically egocentric) song ever written - with "Honey" being close to the schmaltziest ever.

"MacArthur Park" may be the most ridiculously melodramatic OTT song ever!

And the attitude expressed in "Wives and Lovers" (the actual title of that "Hey Little Girl" song) makes me cringe!

But "wimpy" is not the word I would use for these songs. I save that term for the blandest of melodies (and delivery) combined with bland, platitudinous lyrics (e.g, songs that basically say things like "Let's be nice.")

I would say that the "wimpiest" would simply be the one with the least real substance; generally it would have a pretentious air of sentimentality, but not a darn bit of actual meaningful content. A song could have a strong, clear meaning, but be crappy because it is very sloppily written, or it has a less than mediocre melody, or it expresses crass jingoistice "patriotism", or for who knows how many reasons.

To the question of "what's blowing in the wind," if you were there, you'd bloody well know that you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows!

"Let what be?" Bloody literalists! I guess for you the foggy dew is just water mist!

Protest songs should offer an answer to the problem? When the answer is obvious even to a blind man, a song doesn't need to be a laundry list of fixes. In fact, such songs usually die a quick death. "Kick the bastards out" is easier than "campaign to obtain more votes in our next general election for candidates whose background and credentials indicate they won't do the same horrible things the current office-holder are doing, which we don't like." For one thing, even Bob Dylan's penchant for violating scansion would find such a line really hard to parse. As an example of the latter, I nominate Ewan MacColl's song in praise of Ho Chi Minh (or was it Mao?). It had gawd-awful lines of purest pap, and rightly sank beneath the weight of its own condesencion. I can't even remember the worst lines, although they had a Bulwer-Lytton Contest quality to them.

So Jim Carroll doesn't like Bob Dylan, but that's all right -- Dylan doesn't even know who Jim is!

Point taken, Songbob. I took poking fun at ambiguities a bit far that time to the point of gettng a bit irresponsibly away from the real topic. Sorry.

As far as "Blowing In The Wind" is concerned, even having a little fun with being a literalist, even if you can kid the "answer" part of the chorus, the questions asked in themselves aren't "wimpy" and even if some of us still haven't found the answers quite yet, some among us are still trying to "get wind of them" or can "sense something in the wind" at times. indeciciveness and ambiguity are parts of being "wimpy" but not all things that can be sensed as indecicive or ambiguous can be called "wimpy" by a long shot. Whatever merits or faults the song has, I'd not put it in a Wimp Hit Parade as it's neither mild nor timid.

By the same token, I'm not really sure that something involving direct divine intervention by Mother Mary Herself, the only entity other than olive oil that can be graded Extra Virgin, could ever quite qualify as "wimpy", either. So scratch that one, as well.





However, to veer one more time off topic, in the Irish Rebel song of that title, The Foggy Dew" (as opposed to the "foggy-go-a-courtin'" love song, where in some versions, she's kept from the "buggerboo" or other things frightening and where the dew in this song is usually doubly foggy), IS indeed (and in word) just water mist, causing the IRA gunmen who didn't hit or even properly see their mark to mutter, "Damn! Mist again!".....

Ever since I read Gurney's post above selecting "Paper Doll" as a wimpy ditty, I've had it on my mind.

- written by Johnny S. Black, 1915
- lyrics as recorded by The Mills Brothers in 1942

I'm gonna buy a Paper Doll that I can call my own
A doll that other fellows cannot steal
And then the flirty, flirty guys with their flirty, flirty eyes
Will have to flirt with dollies that are real

When I come home at night she will be waiting
She'll be the truest doll in all this world
I'd rather have a Paper Doll to call my own
Than have a fickle-minded real live girl

Geeziz! What a fucky, fucky, wimp! And what a fucky, fucky, pervert for that matter! Not to mention this asshole is also a fucky, fucky, chauvinist pig! There really is no saving grace for this jagov anywhere.........

Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes

Man, Spaw, I am amazed that you have the nerve, the utter gall to diss 2 brilliant songs like Leonard Cohen's "Suzanne" and Joni Mitchell's "Clouds", both of which are classics. Of course, an Ohio potatohead like yourself is probably totally impervious to any form of lyrical subtlety, right? Specially when it's put in the form of poetic metaphor.

That's why I am here to tell you, man, that you have officially lost all credibility you ever had as a music fan OR critic...which is sorta like saying that George Bush had lost all credibility as a Rhodes Scholar, a good president, and a smart businessman....but I digress.

You didn't even quote Joni Mitchell's lyrics right, you pathetic, defenestrated, simpletonian mamalucca. They go like this:

Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way...

That song isn't just good. It's a masterpiece.

As for that assassination you just performed on the song Suzanne....well, you have gone too far this time, Jocko! Your admittance to the Neil Young Center for the Terminally Screwed is hereby revoked. And you know why? Because you are too f*cked up even for those guys! That's right.
