The other one that comes to mind (only vaguely, fortunately) was a song
by Linda Ronstadt entitled "Poor, Poor, Pitiful Me", which contained 
something resembling the following:

  Well he picked me up and he put me down,
  He was a credit...to his gender.
  Really put me through some changes now,
  Sorta like a...Wearing blender.

Aaarrrgh!  Like a blender?!  (Not sure if I have the
brand spelled right, maybe Waring?)

Surely people have heard that "great" new Prince song.  You know, "My name is
Prince.  And I am funky.  My name is Prince.  And I am funky."  etc. etc.

It must have taken him all of 10-20 seconds to think that chorus up.  . . . and
to think he once actually did some decent stuff (although that is somewhat
debatable).

More news on the DB in Portland story.  Jonathan Nichols, a columnist
whose hair makes Dave's look good, had an interview with Dave as his

That was bad, too, and the singer was "Melanie."  Yeah, all the pop from
around 1972 was just AWFUL!  Then there was "Seasons in the Sun," another
disgusto-cutesy that would make Our Hero hurl his emergency back-up dog
out the window.

The name of the Melanie soung was, of course, "Brand New Key."

Oh no - the video for this song is priceless and makes for hours of 
entertainment as you try to figure out which celebrities really are 
singing, which ones are stoned, which ones haven't a clue as to what
they're doing, etc. The back row in particular is a great example of

Lighten up. I read this newsgroup to read and share contributions on matters
Barryesque as much as for factual information about Dave himself. After all,
what is there in the latter category, really, except warnings about
upcoming tv appearances and excerpts of his writing? If you want to see some

I wouldn't count it as "worst."  I kind of liked it, in a "funny-once"
sort of way.  Of course, if I listened to Top-40 Radio, and had heard
it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over and over and over again, I think
I might be willing to commit mass carnage to prevent having to ever
hear it again myself.

How many songs are on this list are victims of Top-40 "We play your
favorite songs over and over and over and over and over and over and
over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and
over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and
over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and
over again until they aren't your favorite songs anymore" overexposure,
and how many are really and truly bad songs?

Now, for really and truly ***BAD***, has anyone heard William Shatner's
rendition (emphasis on "rend") of "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" and
"Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man"?  Now that's music to hurl by.

Or, for more mainstream stuff, how about "I Started a Joke" by the
(urp) Bee Gees?

Actually, as frightening as it is, the Village People are actually 
still around.  They played here at UVa back in September.  Basically,
it was five (or six, trying not to remember) fat old guys jumping
around on stage trying to sing.   The music was being played from a
DAT player hooked up to the soundboard in the back.  It was bad!

My suggestion for worst song, though, would have to be "I'm Too Sexy"
by some guy I can't even remember even though it only came out last 
year.  Sometimes it worries me that there are enough people in the
world strange enough to put a song like that in the top 40...

I just watched his talk at the National Press Club, and although

thought he was pretty darn funny. He has a tendency to step on

Well, I am a Dave Barry fan, and joined this group because I don't know where to get Dave Barry articles... I got some on disk at home, and of course I want more...  Just name it and I will post the ones I have...  Well, where can I get articles written by Dave Barry? (I'm not living in USA... In Norway, so they are not published in magazines or papers...)  Any FTP-sites keeping them, or will I see some posted here???
