(Sorry, but that's one scary picture!)
Okay, my turn.
I'm not saying this is the absolute worst song of all time, but it embodies everything that I hate about music that punches you in the stomach, and just keeps punching.
I feel no need for singers to shout at me. That just makes me crabby. If you've got something to say, just say it....rationally. I will get it. Really. Yelling at me is just going to make me hate you.
It's not that I hate Billy Joel. I like "Uptown Girl", in which he sings. I understand that Billy is in love with his lyrics, and there's really nothing wrong with that, but, Billy, just give your listeners a break. Stop beating us upside the head. There's a little thing called "nuance". Try it.
I've been told, in no uncertainty, that certain people like this song. I have no inkling why. I've been scolded for choosing it as the worst song of all time, but you be the judge.
And excuse me while I reach for my bottle of Advil.
And the harmonica is annoying, too. I'd rather be besieged by Bob Dylan blowing on his harp.
