That's a wonderfully hideous song. ;-) For those who love/hate "Wonderful Christmastime," you should check out (if you can find it) its b-side, "Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reggae." From the sound of it, Sir Paul had just had his first violin lesson.

Also, Billy Ocean made me turn violent when he was popular back in the 80's. Blech.

Originally Posted By alexbook Okay, I just checked myself and I'm totally embarassed (did I spell that right?). "Key Largo" was by Bertie Higgins (who?). "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)" was Rupert Holmes, not Rupert Murdoch. Why I thought they were by the same guy, I don't know.

I admit to having several songs mentioned here on my iPod (including "Shaving Cream") Heh heh heh... The first 'yuck' song that popped into my head is by one of my very favorite artists (we'll be seeing him live in November) - Billy Joel... The neverending song from hell: "Leave a Tender Moment Alone" It keeps going and going and going and has no particular melody - it's just all OVER the place. I hate it.
