Worst possible song combination?

Maybe I should have put this in B.S.; it's not going to go anywhere very constructive, music wise. Last night I heard someone do a nice version of the old Hank Snow song "A Fool Such As I". Just after she did the line "I'll love you dear, until the day I die", I got this horrible vision of someone singing that, followed immediately by "He Stopped Loving Her Today". Are there any other possible sequences of song that appalling?

Yeah. Do what Paul Anka did in the 70s. Release the godawful "Havin' My Baby" duet he did with Odia Coates...then follow it up a few weeks later with the next duet he did with her, "One Man Woman"....about a guy who's losing his wife because he cheated on her.

It can't get much worse than that. ;-D

Not appalling, but philosphically inconsistent: I heard a band perform the Phil Ochs song "When I'm Gone" in the same set as "I'll Fly Away."

At a memorial service in a church one time, I was asked to sing two of the deceased's favorite songs from the altar: The Band Played Waltzing Matilda, and Seven Old Ladies (Locked in the Lavatory.)
