Earworms...
You know those awful tunes that stick with you, even though you loathe them?
"We Built This City" by Starship is one of those for me.
It seems that this awful bit of "music" also had an annoying enough video to have stuck with John (no relation) at SFSignal. John had trouble finding a clip of the worst part of the video. I was able to find and excerpt the wretched moment for his viewing "pleasure."

Well, ok, maybe it is a bad song. But it's nowhere near as bad as Ice, Ice, Baby.
Posted by: owlish at August 21, 2005 08:25 PMExcellent! I can't thank you enough, John.
Hey - wait a minute...
Posted by: John at August 22, 2005 07:00 AMOwlish, these lists disagree with you. (And at least Ice Ice Baby has that cool riff from the Bowie/Queen song).
John, glad you "enjoyed" it.
Posted by: JohnL at August 22, 2005 08:34 AMYeah, I know. But still, anyone that puts The Sound of Silence in such a list doesn't deserve to be taken seriously. And Everybody Have Fun Tonight for #3?

... Damn you.
I hate that song. And now its stuck.
