The top 10 signs that you are listening to a bad rock song:

10. The term "Rock & Roll" is used as a verb.
9. The chorus has the line "All around the world" rhyme with "Ev'ry boy and girl".
8. The drums carry the melody.
7. The word "party" is pronounced "par-tay".
6. Your boss likes it.
5. Your dad says, "Well that's not so bad...for your music.
4. The band has made a guest appearance on "Beverley Hills 90210".
3. You hear a muzak version at the grocery store.
2. A politician uses it as his campaign song.

...And the number 1 sign that you are listening to a bad rock song

1. David Lee Roth is involved in any way.

#11 The band doesn't play their own instruments, let alone know what a "guitar" is...

#12 The vocal track is overdubbed at least 17 times to present the image of "group" singing... for a soloist.

More?

That should be the "drum machine" carries the melody.

It doesn't matter if the vocalist is awake or asleep on another planet it still sounds the same.

7, 9 & 10 don't count because 11 is: you can't understand ANY of the words (except the occasional 4 letter ones).

Cheers,
