Whats that 80's Greg Allman song that goes "Let me show you my tattoo" awful?  

"I'm No Angel"

What is wrong with me that I retain that information?

For the record, that particular line was a Beastie Boys line first. Not sure if that's braggable or not, but it's true.

And LFO quoted Eric B. & Rakim with "I came in the door/I said it before," which makes them even more objectionable.

There's also Warren G.'s line "What's next, what's next, what's N-X-E-T," although that might be more teeth-gnashing than illness-inducing.

I kissed a girl and I liked it


A church in Columbus apparently doesn't like the song either.

New Kids on the Block had a bunch of hits / Chinese food makes me sick.

To add to that:
"I like girls who wear Abercrombie and Fitch"





Also,
"What we are is what we are/and what we wear.... is vintage clothes."

I think the line "We used to be in love, girl, but now we aint speakin'/Michael J Fox played Alex P Keaton" somehow manages to redeem the rest of the lyrics. I feel as though you almost have to admire the chutzpah of writing something so completely stupid. It's part of the reason I love Angry Samoans. (And maybe the reason Metal Mike Saunders loves all that Disney pop.)


I kissed a girl and I liked it


The stupidest thing about that song is that Jill Sobule had a hit 13 years ago with the exact same song title. And yet Katy Perry seems to regard herself as some sort of brash, provocative groundbreaker. To give her some credit, she's broken ground  in discovering new depths of pop-culture lameness.

It's true. And I actually really liked Jill Souble's song. I had that whole album (I was 13, what can I say?) and I remember enjoying it.  Katy Perry makes me ill, but I still think she's kind of hot...?
