Those guys are really horrible. Is the song you're talking about the one that says something like its been...one week since you looked at me, etc?

I hate the one where he talks about the Chinese chicken more. I used to have to hear that all the time in college. It was very popular. Not with me though.

That's the same one.

Actual bands who sat down and wrote a song.

I suppose Black Eyed Peas doesn't count then?

Hands down, Walking In Memphis, by Mark Cohen.

It is a sentimental, precious, utter piece of shit.

The piano riff, if you listen, is just Heart and Soul.
So we're off to a bad start...
Then we hear about this guy who flys to the "land of blues," and talks bout Beale St. like it's anything but a tourist trap.
It's spiritual.

He name checks Elvis, some household name blues guys, and blue suede shoes. I think he says something about cornbread or soul food too.

The thing is, this song *has* no soul. None. It's just pap designed to make housewives dig on this so-called romantic image. It's like writing a song for little girls called "The Day The Kitty Cats Played Dress Up In Rainbow Pony Land."

I come across it far too often. I never listen to the radio, but I hear it a few times a year just walking into the wrong store at the wrong time. It makes my stomach hurt.

How this can be called "music," other than in the clinical sense (it is played on instruments and follows a song structure) is beyond me.

This guy *wishes* he were as good as Barenaked Ladies.
Yes, it's that bad.
And it sold a squillion copies.

I WIN.

The Linkin Park song with the NAVY RECRUITER style compressed to fuck melodic metal riffs that then switches to the rap-sing part where the singer is saying shit like "I don't know why.. I asked a guy.. I just started to cry.. you let me down girl.. i think it's real bad.. i'm gonna die" or something akin to that. God, what a fucking dreadful song.

Europe's "Final Countdown" and Winger's "She's Only Seventeen" are in a bloody war for my vote. Dishonorable mention: Live--"Lightning Crashes"

This song makes me want to virginia tech a world trade center holocaust with my dick.

First thing I could think of was 'American Pie'. That's Crap. Maybe 'System of a Down' will call their next album 'Armenian Pie' ?
