    Best Worst Songs mixcd suggestions

    So I'm in a competition to come up with the "Best Worst Songs" mixcd with a friend, limited chiefly to songs from the 80s-00s.

    So far I've got:

    Journey - Don't Stop Believing
    Whitesnake - Here I Go Again
    New Kids on the Block - You Got It (The Right Stuff)
    A-Ha - Take On Me

    I'm debating the virtues of Oasis, Cranberries and a few others. Give me suggestions for best worst...
    The Boat People - 9
    The Power of the Dog - 7.5
    The King of Pigs - 7

    It's not quite a bad song, but it's gloriously over-the-top awesomeness has led to me witnessing many a horrific karaoke butchering of the song. Beyond the NKotB, I quite like all the other three songs, but they're representative of the culture's excess in which they were produced. This mix is supposed to show that excess.

    For example, My Humps can't make the list because it's not a Best... song, it's merely bad. Hollaback Girl, though, has a chance...

    This music video is almost as glorious as the Danish music videos from the old site...

    Oh, and Hollaback is so much better than Humps.

    I don't even love it in an ironic way. I genuinely think it's a good song. It's crass, but it's also a fun pop song.

    Have we reached the end of the boner jokes? I actually was proud of that one, too.

    I'm rewatching the video. Negative rep... so tempting.

    Um... have you considered
    THE FINAL COUNTDOOOOWN!!! (sorry)

    as well as
    "Party All The Time" - Eddie Murphy
    "(I Just) Died In Your Arms" - Cutting Crew
    "Jump Around" - House Of Pain

    and if you want something from this year, nothing in recent memory is as perfect at being hilariously terrible (and with a sadly catchy melody) as T-Pain's summer club-banger "Buy U A Drank".
    Last 11 things I really enjoyed:

    Speed Racer (Wachowski/Wachowski, 2008)
    Safe (Haynes, 1995)
    South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (Parker, 1999)
    Beastie Boys Story (Jonze, 2020)
    Bad Trip (Sakurai, 2020)
    What's Up Doc? (Bogdanovich, 1972)
    Diva (Beineix, 1981)
    Delicatessen (Caro/Jeunet, 1991)
    The Hunger (Scott, 1983)
    Pineapple Express (Green, 2008)
    Chungking Express (Wong, 1994)

    That's going to be the theme song for the lab right before we close up.

    To be honest, it doesn't matter if you like it or not, Steve Perry is still > you. He's greater than all of us.
