The Brady Bunch Theme

Well known.
I've never met any adult who said they like it (now).
Though I admit that Barney's song is even worse, I think The Brady Bunch was intended for mixed family audiences, whereas Barney is intended only for the children of hopefully stone-deaf parents.

Some of the renditions I hate to hear the most include some of Burl Ives' "little bunny foo foo" versions of serious folk songs (Burl Ives also sings some credible versions of other folk songs). You can't condemn a song for a bad rendition.

Although I agree "I've Never Been to Me" makes me shudder, if you can seperate out the music, well, it's OK. Ditto for "Feelings", "When I Dream (I Dream of You)", "Greatest Love of All (Yourself)". I was really struck when I saw an action flick from Hong Kong in which they end with the syrupy "When I Dream". What a horrible song! But then I paused...hey, if I only knew a teeny-tiny bit of English, I'd probably like that song too :-)

I remember a guy at work once stomping over to me and saying: "Two HOURS ago, YOU put the Flintstones Theme in my head. That's the worst I've had to suffer since Karma Chameleon kept internally repeating for three days...(long pause)...oh no."
