While we've focused on sappy songs here, I think there are whole
areas of awfulness that we haven't even begun to plumb.
Religio-Patriotic Tripe:
- Courtesy of the Red White and Blue (The Angry American) by Toby
Keith
- God Bless the USA - Lee Greenwood
Born in the USA by that Springsteen bloke
Music about music always sucks:
- "The Heart of Rock and Roll" - Huey Lewis
- We Built This City on Rock and Roll - Whoever
Starship... (Jefferson Airplane...)
- "The Leader of the Band" - Dan Fogelberg
("His blood runs through my instrument"? Are you SERIOUS?)
Novelty songs:
- Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer
- Santa Baby (My family tortures me with this one every year)
Xmas songs are an entire genre. On MTV Europe they do the 50 best
xmas songs (Fairytale of New York at number one, of course), and 20
Xmas turkeys too (don't ask what number one was, I blanked it from my
memory)...
