Christopher wrote:Sometime around '98, when all attention was focused on St. Louis over the big, dumb home run record being broken, there was a super-special mix of Creed's song "Higher" being played all over the goddamned place. You couldn't escape it if you tried. This song reached a rare, Halley's Comet-level of awful that has yet to be topped. It is the Holocaust of music, and as such, should be preserved for future generations to hear and vow: "Never Again." The original song is enough of an abortion on its own, but this... this... Jesus Christ--this masterpiece of suck had been intercut with samples of sportscaster knuckleheads engaging in the worst kind of hyperbole imaginable. Just mind-bogglingly horrible.
Mark McGwire Masturbation Sports-Mix of Creed's "Higher" = The worst song I have ever heard in my life.
I dunno man... I think this might have been topped by the short-lived re-write of Gretchen Wilson's "Redneck Woman" as [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SpiUu4u6i4]"Redbird Fever"...
Well there's a fever that you can't deny
Gotta get together with my friends to see my Redbirds fly
On the TV, or at the ballpark, or on the radio in my truck
Me and Grandpa used to listen to Mike Shannon and Jack Buck
Yeah I can feel it comin'. One thing I know for sure
Is I got Redbird fever, and the Cardinals are the cure
Chorus:
Yeah I got Redbird fever
And I know we're the best
It's a fact we're going all the way
Cause we're better than the rest
And I wear my Redbird colors
To every inning that we play
There ain't nothing better
Than a good old Cardinal game
So here's to my St. Louis
Out there keeping up the fight
Let me get a big "Go Cards!"
From you Redbird fans tonight
There's other teams out there, and yeah, they can play
But a Cardinal fan is proud and loud until our dying day
We drink cold beer and eat hot dogs on the bleachers in the sun
No, I don't need no other fan 'cause the Cards are #1
Some people think we're crazy, but Redbird fans are true
Cause in this Cardinal Nation we're all winners through and through

SHUDDER.
