 What about that song about breaking up that goes:
	It's like walking in the rain and the snow
	and there's no place to go.
	anf it feels like part of you is dying.
	You look for the answer in her eye

Ever since Our Hero asked his loyal following what the worst song in
Rock and Roll is, there has been numerous responses, debates, minor
wars, and in all the shuffle, a completely innocent small dog was
injured by two people fighting over whether "Brand New Key" by
Melanie is worse than any Neil Diamond Song.
	I feel it is my duty to clear up this worst song thing once and
for all.  The absolute worst rock song of all time is a Yoko Ono
monstrosity entitled "Don't Worry Kyoko (Mummy's Only Looking For
Her Hand In The Snow)", and can be found on the back of the great
John Lennon album Live Peace in Toronto 1969, which has a great
side one, featuring, John, Ringo, Eric Clapton, and Klaus Voorman
in concert, and an awful side two featuring the aforementioned
not-quite-as-fab four backing up Yoko.
	As for the worst lyrics, they belong to a song called Ain't No
Sunshine, which boasts this chorus:
"I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I know, I know, Iknow, I
know, I know, I know, I know I know, I Know, I know, I know, I
know, a-now leave the young thang alone, ain't no sunshine when
she's gone."
	This song gets plenty of airtime on my local Oldies station, 
possibly to emphasize how bad it is, but more likely to boost
asprin sales.
	I have already sent the names of these two songs to The Man,
and I hope I prevent any more bloodshed caused by what will surely
be known as The War Of Dave Barry's Worst Song Contest; a conflict
that's magnitude fits in somewhere in between the Gulf War and 
Reagan's invasion of Grenada.

I fifth the nomination of Minnie Riperton's "Loving You" as worst song
of all time. I suggest the following as runner's up:

MacArthur Park, by someone waaay back (late 60's maybe?), and popularized
	by <cough> <gagh> Donna Summer. Who the heck would put a cake in
	the rain, anyway?
	My nominee for the most idiotic lyrics.

Muskrat Love, by America (?), and popularized by (for those tender

I won't list the entire set of lyrics, because they would
probably cause some kind of Internet seizure (and I don't
remember them all and I'm not about to try to remember any
more than I do now).  The thing about this "song" was that
it was sung in a melodramatic, portentous, and agonizing
voice, with orchestra swelling in the background, all leading
up to:

   Someone left the cake out in the rain
   I don't think that I can take it
   'Cause it took so long to bake it
   And I'll never have that recipe, agaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiin,

   I would tend to disagree with the nomination of "Muskrat Love,"
only on the grounds that it served as the inspiration for that perennial
Doctor Demento favourite, "Hamster Love."  You remember it, don't you?
The one with the frying pan sounds in the background?
   I would submit for consideration instead any of those classics done
by the Cowsills (what was that horrid thing?  I Love The Flower Girl, or

But wasn't this song the first spoofed by Weird Al Yankovic? Well, it was
at least the first spoof of his that _I_ heard. "My Balogna" is a Weird Al
Classic!

BTW, "My Sharona" was the biggest-selling record the year it came out.

Now, I'm going to be the first DB fan to admit a failing in another matter

I am here to publically admit my lameness. I graudated from nearby
Swarthmore (hey, Maura, how's it goin'?) in '92, and back in the spring of
'91, I heard on the net that Dave would be speaking at Haverford. I believe
he was scheduled to speak on a Friday night, though I don't know what
Haverford would be doing holding graduation ceremonies at night, so I could
be wrong there. In any case, I heard about it a few days in advance of the
event, and thought "Wow, that would be cool to go hear, but I'm sure we'll
all be too busy."

Well, for some reason, many of our usual group of friends were otherwise
occupied that Friday night, so a trio of us were sitting around being bored.
I have an image of the three of us sitting in the CS lab, which is a good
indicator of just how bored we really were, since I was the only one who had
a CS account. Suddenly, like a flash of sunlight being reflected off the
watch of some snotnosed little kid, it hit me: WE COULD BE AT HAVERFORD,
LISTENING TO DAVE BARRY. I swore, and cursed my failing memory, and had to
explain to my friends why I had suddenly begun screaming and tearing my hair.

I knew full well that The Man would be appearing, within easy driving
distance, at a time when I had absolutely nothing else to do, and I missed
it. I had a time, a place, and could easily have gotten directions, and I
blew it. I apologized profusely to my two friends, but I don't know that
either of them ever forgave me.

On the other hand, I did get a letter back from Dave when I wrote him about
his Presidential campaign. More on that later.

Sure, "My Sharona" has a beat and you can dance to it and I give it a 65. And
although it ain't a Southern gentleman-like thing to say (I only own up to
the Southern part), how can you disparage any entire album that contains the
irreverent wit of "Good Girls Don't"?  To my mind--which may explain the
problem--this song is to rock what David Allen Coe's "You Never Even Called
Me By My Name" is to country & western, i.e. the perfect song.  GGD has a
steady beat, encourages impressionable teens to do something that is both
naughty and irresponsible (as opposed to current songs, which encourage
them to commit suicide, which is exactly what I'd have been doing if I tore
holes in the knees of my britches like they do), and still managed to get
a right smart amount of air play while I was in college.  Yup, that's the
song I bought the album for.  On the other hand, any rap star who wants to
use "My Sharona" for sound effects (first song, side A), is welcome to it.
I'll give you "My Sharona" if I can keep the rest of the album.

I'm afraid that I must disagree with that last statement. While I like the
