Porcupine Pie vs. Cowboy Star

[Petey]

About a dozen people in my office currently have this song as their ringtone:

This song is vomit inducing. AWFUL.

you are so DEER.

that song is genius

[Reggie]

I just thought of one...Dirty White Boy by Foreigner!  What an awful, awful song...completely annoying title, and they repeat it over and over and over!

All I could find was this version on youtube...from them at some fair or something...

[Reggie]

Hey, baby, if youre feelin down
I know whats good for you all day
Are you worried what your friends see
Will it ruin your reputation lovin me

Yeah a dirty white boy
A dirty white boy

Dont drive no big black car
Dont look like no hollywood movie star
You want me to be true to you
You dont give a damn what I do to you

Im just a dirty white boy
Dirty white boy, dirty white boy
Dirty white boy, dirty white boy
Dirty white boy

Well, Im a dirty white boy
Dirty white boy, dirty white boy
Dirty white boy, yeah, dirty white boy
A dirty white boy

Ive been in trouble since I dont know when
Im in trouble now and I now somehow Ill find trouble again

Every night I get one step closer to the danger zone

Dirty white boy, yeah, dirty white boy
Dirty white boy, Im a dirty white boy

Dirty white boy, white boy
Dirty white boy, Im a dirty white boy
Dirty white boy

Hey, Im a dirty white boy
Dirty white boy, yeah, Im a dirty white boy
Dirty white boy, dirty white boy, yeah

[buffcoat]

Hell, yeah, I'm a dirty white boy.  I'm a lean, mean, ground-beef machine.

[Reggie]

While I am white, a boy, and sometimes dirty, I would never describe myself with those three words.  I feel like the person who would is like a guy you meet at a bar who is kind of fun to talk to, and maybe you end up smoking a oney with him in the back alley, but then he starts talking about all the problems with "n words" (only he doesn't say n words), and then you feel depressed and go home.

I think "Fly Away" by Lenny Kravitz has earned a place in song hell.  Everything about this song is half-assed.  Just reading these lyrics puts that terrible funk bass in my head:

I wish that I could fly
Into the sky
So very high
Just like a dragonfly

Id fly above the trees
Over the seas in all degrees
To anywhere I please

Oh I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah

Oh I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah

Lets go and see the stars
The milky way or even mars
Where it could just be ours

Lets fade into the sun
Let your spirit fly
Where we are one
Just for a little fun
Oh oh oh yeah !

I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah

I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah

I got to get away
Feel I got to get away
Oh oh oh yeah

I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah with you yeah yeah
Oh yeah !

I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah with you yeah yeah
I got to get away

I want to get away x4
Yeah
I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah with you yeah yeah
I got to get away

I want to get away x4
Yeah

I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah with you
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Need I say more?

[sonyasonya]

I hate it when a guy doesn't get the door
Even though I told him yesterday and the day before
I hate it when a guy doesn't get the tab
And I have to pull my money out and that looks bad (yeah)

Where are the hopes, where are the dreams
My Cinderella story scene
When do you think they'll finally see

You're right, Erika.  This song is the worst.  I've never heard it before.  But Avril is terrible in a whole other ball park.  At least songs like Cowboy Star and the like are entertaining and a novelty, while Avril songs just really make me wanna cry...

Oh, and I, too, vote for Cowboy Star as the best worst song.

Neil Diamond turned 67 today.

But I will remember it as the day that I learned "Porcupine Pie" was an actual, honest-to-goodness Neil Diamond song, and not a parody.  I had listened to that entire Best Show episode cynically (or perhaps hopefully?) thinking it had to be a put-on. 

Thanks, Neil... a double scoop, please

I still think this song is worse than "Cowboy Star" and/or "Porcupine Pie," both of which are awful but at least have some (unintentional) comedy value. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give to you the single most manipulative song ever written: PowerSource's "Dear Mr. Jesus". This actually made the Billboard Hot 100.

If we're walking down that ugly road, I will remind you of this gem, which I feel sure has already been posted, but how can you get enough of this sort of emotional roundhouse?

Holy shit. We have a winner.

I'm late to this thread (obviously), but I genuinely like "Dirty White Boy." Oops.

If you hate that you should check out Lil' Markie.
