"rock on" -david essex

That's 'cause yer listening to the WRONG version!  Everyone knows this is the classic one:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=mAmLxwhuBcA

My mom would tape Young and the Restless every day and we'd watch it together (yes, I'm a dude, but was fun to have a bonding thing with mom--not to mention the show was friggin' hilarious ("OK, plastic surgeon, make me look like David Hasselhoff or I'll shoot you!  And don't try any funny business while I'm unconscious!"). 

They actually worked this into the show:

"And now, here's Danny Romalotti's new HIT VIDEO!"

Genoa City - Wisconsin's Newbridge

def leppard covered this peice of crap too. i'm pretty sure joe elliott wears a duster in the video.

Joe Elliott:  "C'mon guys, I swear we can make this piece of crap even worse!  Let's at least try!"

or "rock and roll hoochi koo"

This also belongs in the "hilarious and awesome for exactly 6 seconds of the chorus" category.

"Of course we can make it crappier, we're Def Leppard!!"

Billy Joel - "The Longest Time"

Audio blackface akin to Billy Crystal's "Jazzman" routine. Key line: "I'm so in-spi-red by you!"

[Omar]

"Nothin' but a Good Time" by Poison
"Angel" by Aerosmith
"Youth Gone Wild" by Skid Row

Fresh in my mind because I heard all of them while eating lunch at a place near work the other day.

All of those songs are good.

[Susannah]

Nothing drives me nuts more than Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmastime."

[Beth]

"Nothin' but a Good Time" by Poison
"Angel" by Aerosmith
"Youth Gone Wild" by Skid Row.

All of those songs are good.

I agree! Also Billy Joel's "The Longest Time" is one of my favorites.

I'd like to submit The Counting Crow's cover of "Big Yellow Taxi". Ugggggggh.

=Lynyrd Skynrd makes my back go up, especially "Free Bird" (I bear an especial grudge against it because for years I found it boring but unhateworthy--then I paid attention to the words).

At the risk of making myself look like a doofus, what's so hateful about the lyrics to Freebird? They always struck me as kind of innocuous.

Keep in mind I rarely pay attention to lyrics.

Yeah - you sure you're not thinkin' of Sweet Home Alabama?

Hell Yeah!  Nothing turns a White Christmas into a Brown Christmas like that one!  That and 'Grandma Got Run Over...'

Speaking of, I have never heard this song as much as I do living in NYC. I constantly hear it in bars, diners, everywhere. What up with that?

Feliz Navidad really annoys me
(TL's cover was nice, though, because it was about December Wishes)

When I worked at the horrible coffee shop I used to work at, my boss had what I am guessing was pretty severe OCD as well as anxiety issues. He refused to let us play any music except for one CD his daughter made when the store opened ten years ago. It consisted of exactly fifteen tracks, and while I have blocked most of them out of my mind I remember they included
-some Otis Redding Song
-terrible elevator jazz
-a fake "french-sounding" song with a lot of accordions
-Remy Shand's smash hit "Take A Message To My Love" which is basically just that phrase repeated over and over and over again for what seems like a quarter of your life
-and this thing:

which was usually where the cd would start skipping and replaying itself.

I'd like to submit the entire Counting Crows discography. Adam Duritz is James Taylor with worse hair, a lobotomy and no Two-Lane Blacktop cred.

I don't believe in hate. But I'd surely toss this in:

Maybe music produced for advertising shouldn't count. But "Milk Rap" still belongs in the Hate Pit Jukebox.
