3. Wang Chung -- ``Everybody Have Fun Tonight''
2. Billy Ray Cyrus -- ``Achy Breaky Heart''
1. Starship -- ``We Built This City''
A few notes after finally seeing "the list"...
---Jim Morrison is OVERRATED. Denis Leary said it best:
"You want the life of Jim Morrison? I'll give it to you in fifteen seconds: I'm drunk, I'm nobody, I'm drunk, I'm famous, I'm drunk, I'm f*cking dead."
---Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" has to be higher than 50th. Has to be.
---Aqua's "Barbie Girl" is the posterchild of TERRIBLE mid-to-late 1990s European dance pop music.
A plug if you will. VH1 will air a special on Blender's list tomorrow evening. Check your local listings.
Here's my worst songs ever list, from a couple of weeks ago. Enjoy.
