Oh!! Another highly personal,fraught with ennui thread, which will set friend against friend, husband against wife; sparking debates not seen since Elsie last castigated some hapless seeker of 'rock' lyrics!!!! ok..sure...*grin*...
....(are the following as bad as "Barney"..well, I am able to avoid the 'Barney' song...but these and some others are, or have been, ubiquitious in 'folk' circles I have known...)

"Circle of the Sun" by Sally Rogers (interesting for 2 verses...then drivel!)

"Waltzing with Bears"...*dodging shoes and spare appliances*...so, sue me..maybe it's just my lost childhood speaking..

"I Wish I Had Someone to Love Me"....a serious sentiment, but syrupy and heavy-handed...and often sung as if it needs a calliope accompaniment

"Give Me the Roses While I Live"...actually, it is not 'terrible', but every verse is the same...and it really pales by #3...(sort of nice tune...I will play autoharp to it..)

saving this one till last in this batch-so I can run for the door as the maddened whoops of rage from the 'anything Bill Staines does is wonderful' fan club echo down the halls....

"All God's Critters Got a Place in the Choir"...even I was bemused by THIS one ...once..and half of twice..and I admit, it is fun for the kids-but I will NOT clap & flap my hands, or arms...or 'anything I got' no more...

....well, now that I have THAT out of my system, I think I'll go picket Disneyland...or put on a sheet and burn some crosses....or heckle the Salvation Army Band..something non-controversial..

*he drifts away into the night, wondering how deep he has dug himself in this time.......*
