Dave Barry's Worst Songs and Other Hits Dave Barry
Ever notice how bad song lyrics get stuck in your head? It's not just you. After Pulitzer Prize-winning humorist Dave Barry's column about this tendency, reader response was enormous. But Barry didn't know what he was getting himself into when he invited his Legion of Alert Readers to submit their nominees in the Bad Song Survey. "Song badness," he soon learned, "is an issue that Americans care deeply about."
Encompassing such categories as "songs people always get wrong," "teen death songs," and "songs women hate," this musical commentary offers a humorous look at the world's worst lyrics and bad songs in general; "Feelings", "MacArthur Park." Any record by Gary Puckett. The largest number of votes went to "MacArthur Park," followed by "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy (I Got Love in My Tummy)" by the Ohio Express and "(You're) Having My Baby" by Paul Anka. Who can resist such a book?!
