Porcupine Pie vs. Cowboy Star

[Dorvid Barnas]

Exhibit A: Ambrosia's Joe "Louis" Puerta: Where is he now?  Creeping out your niece!

Exhibit B:  Rogers Hornsby tries to get it together for long enough to celebrate Ambrosia.

Exhibt C-Z - The lyrics to "Cowboy Star"

Of man's progress I don't give a hoot
And man's estrangements Of nature's arrangements
Has given cause for my heartbreak To boot

The simple life though Filled with strife
And struggle with the land
Still remained its simple self
And that I understand

So city smog and dog eat dog
For some may hold sublime
Well as for me If I had my way
I'd had lived Some other time

Praise the prairie
And pass the cake
I'd like to eat it too
But being born now was my mistake
I've passed the buckaroo

I'd say
You're right
No chance Why fight?
Why be A cowboy star

(But) Hump back brahmas
Lovely cow mamas
Saw dust floor saloons
Dance hall queens Romanced in my dreams
So why pop my balloon?

No chance
Why fight?
Still in my own right
I'd be A cowboy star

Dreams of my life
Are so carried away
If just in my dreams
I could Be for one day
Just for one day

Lost in my dreams
I'll be riding away
Like a cowboy star

Stage set: Sundown,
In my last Showdown I'll be....

Hornsby looks like Donnie Darko.

And the song is even better with the lyrics clarified.

[Cori]

"And man's estrangements of nature's arrangements"

Wow, what a line!  Are you sure Bob Dylban didn't write this song?

[Dorvid Barnas]

Hornsby looks like Donnie Darko. Larry Flynt.

I bought both of these songs last night.
No more drinking during the show for me.

cowboy star was by far the worse of the two.

it went like this:

toto ->
seal (think 'kiss from a rose' with the swelling strings) ->
king crimson ->

ennio morricone ->
theme from 'city slickers' (can't you just picture billy crystal on horseback here? wearin' his mets cap?) ->

queen ->
gunshot!



HORRIBLE

Evan, something tells me that you've traded some jam band tapes.

I am not ashamed of my pot-smoking high school days.


Confession: I had an E-TREE account.

[LostInReno]

Hornsby looks like Donnie Darko if he didn't die when the plane fell on him,
Aged 25 years and rocked the drugs too hard.

[GetOffMyBone]

I'm going with Porcupine Pie. Cowboy Star might be more awful but it's that kind of amazing awful. I died laughing when that terrible sounding gunshot going off.

Porcupine Pie is just as corny as all get out and just makes me sick.

I'm sure that the FOT Voted worse band of all time, Insane Clown Posse, made a few stinkers that outrank these two. I am not about to find out.

[paul]

both of these songs are awesome.

[Dan B]

I think both songs are too funny to be the worst song ever.  I think the worst song ever has to be literally unlistenable.

I have a nomination: Scott Walker's Jolson and Jones. I defy you to listen to his disk "The Drift" from start to finish. I have done it three times. What does not kill you makes you stronger.
