Humm...the cult?

burun wrote:"Afternoon Delight"

I do not like this song, but my wonderful girlfriend has taken to singing the first line of the chorus as "Pineapples in flight, afternoon delight," which makes me dislike this song a little less.

A terrible song, and an unbelievably embarrassing song title. "(She's Homeless)." Come. The. Fuck. On.

Tim Midgett! Donna Summer's version of "MacArthur Park" is actually pretty good, and I despise that song. I believe Giorgio Moroder was involved with her cover, which is a "plus" for me, but may well be a "minus" for everyone else.

I think the worst thing about this song is the spoken "What" during each line of the chorus. It irritates me more than it should.

Similarly, I have an irrational hatred of the band name "Destiny's Child." There's something really annoying about it.

Coil's rendition of "Tainted Love" is very, very good.

I still cannot settle on a bottom ten, years after this thread was started.

Thinking about this song kept me awake last night. It is so bad.

He has the sheer arrogance to say that some people call him "the gangster of love". Berk.

What the fuck does "Maureeese" have to do with anything? Why would anyone call him Maurice? Because he speaks on the [word I've never understood] of love?

Which incidentally means that he rhymes "love" with "love" in verse one.

Not content with doing this once, in the second verse, he sings "Lovey dovey lovey dovey lovey dovey all the time". This is bad enough. Then he rhymes "time" with "time".

This song can get fucked.

The song is sung in character (as Maurice, hence 'Enter Maurice'), and the (invented) word is 'pompitous' which was apparently a reference to a misheard Medallions lyric...

Great. I wish I had never read this... now this stupid song is stuck in my head.

BTW - Maurice was SM's drummer. He also features in a song called Enter Maurice and whispers loving type stuff in his lovers ear. Which is presumably why he pops up in this song to do the same thing.
