7) David Lee Roth: Just A Gigolo

I very much prefer the Village People's version, much more modern than David's. David's version sounds kind of like old farts music. Nevertheless the clip is rather funny.

Anyhow here are some additions to the hell's list:

Neil Diamond - Song Sung Blue (BOOOOOOOORING!!!)

B-52's - Love Shack (I don't hate it but I am DAMN sick of it because it gets flogged to death in Australia)

Slim Dusty (An old Australian country music singer that sings very very boring country music)

Cake - I Will Survive (If you's think Gloria's version is bad, you'll break out in hives if you hear this one)

Young & The Restless theme song (VERY DEPRESSING)

Graham,

you're a great "hell's DJ"!! :lol:

Mr. Roboto is one of the greatest masterpiece......of .....sh...I mean......CRAP! :lol:

Dear caustic Graham,

I take exception to two of this week's selections:

"Let's Hear It For The Boy" by Deniece Williams. A delightful piece of pop dance fluff from "Footloose". Along with "Dancing In The Sheets" by Shalamar--my favorite tunes from "Footloose".

"Life In A Northern Town" by Dream Academy.
Like this tune and love the sample of it in Dario G's "Sunchyme"--a particular fave from a few years ago.

Just my opinion.

I was once in a drag bar, listening to six queens singing the live version of Bette Midler's "The Rose", and that was the gayest thing I'd ever heard until I heard "Let's Hear It For The Boy". :lol:

Seriously, this one is pure sorbitol. I loved Deniece's "I've Got The Next Dance", but "Let's Hear It For The Boy" grates me like a cheese grinder.

"Life In A Northern Town" by Dream Academy.

I didn't mind it at first, but three things turned me against it:

1: The phony nostaligic/revisionist lyrics. It really gets me when people describe the 50s and/or 60s as some sort of innocent golden age where everyone was happy and lived in harmony. Especially when said lyrics are coming from people who were too young to remember any of it.

2: It was, and still is, seriously overplayed. I hear this damn song all the time now... as often as I did when it first came out. I hate it a little bit more each time.

3: The Dream Academy took themselves waaaay too seriously. I saw an interview with them when they were about 12 minutes into their 15 minutes of fame, and they were completely full of themselves, boasting of how they had such strong classical influences, and even calling themselves "classical rock" (note: this was years before "classic rock" became defined as a genre). Not until groups like Suede and Oasis would another band be so ridiculously pompous.

Hey GRAHAM,

I like STUCK ON YOU! And I like SEA OF LOVE too! Don't you like ballads or romantic music?

YEAAAAAHHHHHH I'M LUUUVIN' THIS, HERE'S SOME MORE HELL'S MUSIC:

Mixtures - The Pushbike Song (I remember when I was in primary school and had to sing this song almost EVERYDAY in the assembly, "iiiicccchhhhhhh ooooocccchhhhhh aaaarrrrchhhhh aahhhhhh....rindin' along on my pushbike honey.....you look so pretty as you're ridin' along......round round round wheels go round round round, down up pedals down up down, we got to get across to the otherside of town before the sun goes down....iiiicccchhhhhhh ooooocccchhhhhh aaaarrrrchhhhh aahhhhhh, iiiicccchhhhhhh ooooocccchhhhhh aaaarrrrchhhhh aahhhhhh" I HATE IT!!!!! What was worse as we were singing the song one of the teachers always whacks up a overhead of some ugly lady with warts riding a bike and love hearts coming out of her HOW PATHETIC!!!)

Melanie - Brand New Key (It's not the lyrics that suck, it's the way she sings it, TERRIBLE!!!!!)

Kenny Rogers - Lucille (Country music is so BOOOOOOOOORING and this song bores me to sleep)

Theme From Married With Children (The show is fantastic and funny as hell especially when Al Bundy was constipated and took a crap flushed the dunnycan and the park fountain loses its water and Al goes "Now that's what I call a man's toilet", BUT the theme song is so damn uncool and falls under the "old farts music" category)

Hanson M-Bop (I cannot stand boy bands and this song bites my bum. I really thought the younger two were girls, how wrong I was. It's like like you are walking up the street and you see a long blond haired person walking and you think it's a gorgious looking girl then the person turns around and to shock horror the person turns out to be a blond haired surfer dude.)

Tight Fit - The Lion Sleeps Tonight (That song is ANNOYING. Eversince I've watched Ace Ventura Pet Detective, everytime I hear "A wimbaway, a wimbaway, I imagine the scene in the movie where Ace shags his girlfriend in bed while Ace's animals are watching with joy.)

(Nursery Rhyme) Miss Polly Had A Dolly (I NEVER liked nursery rhymes especially this one, I used to hear this damn song all the time on Play School when I was a kid, and I bet the guys on play school still sing this cruddy song)

Theme From Barney (The theme song should be "I hate you, you hate me, let's get together and kill Barney" :lol: :lol: :lol: . Basically when you're a kid, you love this stuff, when you're older you think it's uncool and corny and you hate it.)

DAMN, THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

One atrocious pop song came to mind recently, and I'm amazed to occasionally see this song categorized as a disco song:

"Break My Stride" by Matthew Wilder!!!

Aaaaaarrrgh! A sugar-coated vomit-inducer.
