Thread Name: Worst Song by a Respectable Artist
Subject: RE: Worst Song by a Respectable Artist
Heard a "new country" song a few years ago called "Please Don't Take the Girl". Several verses of the "goin' fishing, little girl next door wants to go too, kid begs Dad -insert title here" variety. End of the song, of course the kid's married the girl, his true love, and they get mugged or something and he begs the bad guys - insert title again. Piece of trite, cynical, manipulative, maudlin, formula-written CRAP!

Thanks a lot for reminding me of it! Phooey!
