Here's my entry in the Shittiest Mix Tape contest:
- Charlene - Never Been To Me. So so so silly - even before you get to the spoken-word middle section.
- Starship - We Built This City. I know it's an obvious choice, but it really is an atrocity. And a sad way to end a career.
- Cake - Going the Distance. A lot of people like Cake, and a lot of people like this song, but I hate them both. This aggressively boring song makes me want to throw things at it, to get it out of my presence.
- Helloween - Halloween. This stupid song is made much worse by the ridiculous video: there's some kind of scary zombie circus party out in the woods! And the band is in a different part of the same woods! And they're singing about Halloween with that goofy European melodic metal and the faux-operatic vocals. Ugh. And there's a guy with a pumpkin on his head.
- Lynrd Skynrd - That Smell. What a pungent coagulate of a song. "Oooh that smell / Can't you smell that smell". I remember hearing this on the Rock stations when it first came out and thinking "Hey! They don't play Dr. Demento on this station!"
I hope you hate it as much as I do !
I think I was supposed to post MP3s of these, but I just ain't got that kind of energy right now.

Helloween. Niiiiiiiiice one. Well played.
