The Worst Song I ever...hmm.
I was there in the 70's. I saw Donny and Marie on Top of the Pops, I saw Little Jimmy singing Long Haired Lover from...my hometown, in black and white. Blasphemy. I think that living through Paper Roses on the radio was the nearest I got to my parents World War 2 experiences. Bombs, sudden death, but I still maintain they were lucky.
Around 2002 I met a pal in the HMV store on Oxford Street. As I waited for him, I ventured within...there he was, fresh as a daisy through a lifetime of Mormon sobriety...DONNY OSMOND. He was sitting there, yes just sitting there, signing autographs as they played his...new album.
I was well within shooting range, or the use of a hand grenade. I who once shook John Lydon's hand. Yet, I was unarmed.
As my pal arrived and found me, they started playing his new version of Puppy Love. I told my friend to run. He didnt understand. I started to panic RUN! FOR FUCKS SAKE, RUN!!! We got out, barely...

Kevin Rowlnad provided one of the oddest festival moments I've ever seen at Reading 99.
Came on in ladies underware and launched into a set of songs such as Greatest Love Of All and the like. Very very odd.

>>One of my most hated songs in the world is "Come On Eileen". Not only does it suck, it sucks for about 6 minutes. "I Will Survive" is another that I can't stand. I think that song should be completely banned for life. And I don't like one thing Bob Marley has ever sung into a microphone but "Jamming" in particular: Most boring song in the history of music? A contender for sure.
