Here’s the Friday open comments post.
Today’s suggested topic — The Canadians have banned a Dire Straits song. If you were going to ban a song — although I think banning’s a bad idea — what would you ban? Less intrusively, what song would you switch off the moment you heard it?
My pick —
Frosty the Snowman — I really dislike that song. I certainly wouldn’t ban it, as Sister Aloysius Beauvier would, but I don’t like it, as it’s just grating to me.
Think I’m wrong? Play this a few times — I dare you.
The use of pseudonyms and anonymous postings is, of course, fine.
Although the comments template has a space for a name, email address, and website, those who want to leave a field blank can do so. Comments will be moderated, against profanity or trolls. Otherwise, have at it.
I’ll keep the post open through Sunday afternoon.
Convoy a song about a convoy of trucks with cb radios
Totally terrible
Milli Vanilli’s whole career They weren’t even real musicians
Barry Manilow — Lola Copacabana
Who let the dogs out. Worst. EVER.
Frosty’s a great holiday song It’s the Santa Claus Lane song that’s bad
I’m usually an even-tempered soul, but Burl Ives’ “Holly Jolly Christmas” makes my cloak curl and my amulet glow red.
The Old Gray Goose is Dead a.k.a. Go Tell Aunt Rhody is a terrible song that won’t die. It frequently is played in children’s band concerts, and it’s even worse off key!
