Kanye West took a lot of flack for the video I'm posting today, and rightfully so. It's quite terrible. Still, people have been talking about. Though, like months ago. And, as I always like to bring you a video long after its cache has worn off, here is "Bound 2." Enjoy.

For today, Shaggy has some advice for guys who get caught cheating: deny everything that you are accused of, even if your woman personally walked in and saw you. Sounds good to me! Here's "It Wasn't Me." Enjoy.

It's time for the first edition of Song I Heard On The Radio And Decided To Post As My Video Of The Day of the year. And, this one is a bit ironic considering how cold it is in Arkansas at the moment. It's Bananarama with "Cruel Summer." Maybe listening to it will make me feel warm. Anyway, here's the video. Enjoy.

Since yesterday was the first Song I Heard On The Radio And Decided To Post As My Video Of The Day of the year, then let's have the first Video I'm Posting For The Day Because YouTube Recommended It To Me of the year for today. And, that video is Max Priest's "Close To You." I don't know why it was recommended to me, but it was. Anyway, here's the video. Enjoy.

Time for another theme week. And, you're not gonna like it. Because, I'm not gonna like it. Yes, it's time for another round of Songs That I Hate... Week. Only, there's a twist. A friend of mine complained that the last Songs That I Hate Week featured nothing but songs from the past decade or so. And, well, he was right. So, I decided to do another week of songs that I hated, only with the bonus that they were made before 2000. So, it's Songs That I Hate (Pre-2000) Week.
And, we begin with Franki Valli And The Four Seasons. They're not a bad group, but there is one song of theirs that I can't stand. It's mainly to do with Valli's voice in it. It just gets so damn high and annoying. It's like nails on a chalkboard to me. So, here is said song: "Big Girls Don't Cry." Enjoy... if you can...

Songs I Hate (Pre-2000) Week continues. Today, we're looking at a prime example of why music wasn't always so great back in the day. I know people say that today's music isn't as good as it was back in like, the 1960s. But, here's the thing. People forget crap. But, this is one crappy song that has had some staying power. You've probably heard it in some comedy films; it's a pretty stupid song and purposely made that way. But still, I cannot stand this f***ing thing. I just find it annoying, and I know that you're probably suppose to find it annoying, but that doesn't mean I still have to like it. It's just way the guy sings it. It just makes me want to punch him in the face. So, without further ado, here is Allan Sherman with "Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah." Enjoy.

Songs That I Hate (Pre-2000) continues. Today, I'm looking at a man who left a huge impact on the music scene today, mainly because he had a kid who became a controversial singer, with people condemning her wild antics even though that's exactly what she and her record label wanted. There's no such thing as bad publicity. However, the father was also a singer in his time. A country singer in fact. I am, of course, speaking about Billy Ray Cyrus. And, he had a big hit with "Achy Breaky Heart," a song that I don't like. I grew up in the 1990s, a time when mainstream country music became very popular, having lots of crossover success. Cyrus was one of these success stories, though it lasted only one song. And, said song is terrible. I find it to be a perfect example of everything that was wrong with mainstream country music in the 1990s. It just the polished piece of cornpone that annoys me as a Southerner. And, it annoyed me when it first came out, and that was back in 1992. I was 7 then, and that was when I thought everything was cool. Well, this song and "Everybody Dance Now" began to change my mind about any and all music being good. So, without further ado, here is "Achy Breaky Heart."

Songs That I Hate (Pre-2000) Week continues. I mentioned earlier how music wasn't always as great as people said it was back in like the 1960s and 1970s, and today, I have further proof. Now, if you've ever seen a movie that takes place in the late 1960s, around '69, you'll usually hear good songs like The Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter" or Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Fortunate Son." So, one would think those were the biggest hits of 1969. But, they weren't. "Fortunate Son" only went to 14 on the Billboard charts. And, "Gimme Shelter" wasn't even released as a single. And, do you know what was the biggest hit song of 1969?
"Sugar Sugar," a novelty song made by The Archies. As in Archie and Betty and Veronica and Jughead. Yes, those f***ing cartoons who have been around for some reason since seemingly forever had the biggest hit of 1969. It was a Number 1 hit for 4 weeks. And, it's terrible. This song is too damn sweet, and not in the good way. It's basically a generic kid's song that somehow got big. And, here it is. Enjoy.

Songs That I Hate (Pre-2000) Week continues. Today, we have a song about sex. But, you would never know it if you listened to it. The song is "Afternoon Delight" by Starland Vocal Band. And, it has to be the least sexiest song about sex ever. For one, the title sounds like a menu item at an okay restaurant, which it pretty much is. Bandmember Kathy "Taffy" Nivert told at least one audience that the title came from a spicy menu item of the same name at Clyde's restaurant in Georgetown. As for the song itself, it just so chaste and devoid of sex that it's not surprising that most people never picked up the sex context. The song was written by Bill Danoff, who has downplayed the somewhat controversial lyrics, saying, "I didn't want to write an all-out sex song ... I just wanted to write something that was fun and hinted at sex." And, to make matters worse, Starland Vocal Band is made up of two mildly couples. So, when you've learn what it's about and see these two couples singing about it, it makes it sound like their swingers. As for the song itself, it just sounds so boring. If this song is suppose to be about sex, the kind it's singing about is boring, vanilla missionary sex done by middle age couples who have lost the spark in their relationship years ago and only do it like once or twice a year. And, this was a Number 1 hit back in 1976, a time when there were better and funkier songs about sex. Nevertheless, I have found some enjoyment from the song, but that's only because it was used for an incest gag on Arrested Development. Anyway, I've gone on far enough. Here is "Afternoon Delight." Enjoy... if you can...

Songs That I Hate Week (Pre-2000) continues. Today, we have what maybe the songs with the dumbest title of all time: "Muskrat Love." It's content isn't much smarter either. It's about two anthropomorphic muskrats who fall in love. I don't know why someone thought this was a story worth recording, but recorded it was. It doesn't sound much better either. It's just so f***ing schmaltzy. And, I just learned something amazing: it's been covered several times. Many musicians have heard this song and thought it was worth recording more than once. UGH! Anyway, here is the most famous version from The Captain & Tenille. Enjoy... if you can...

Thankfully, Songs That I Hate (Pre-2000) Week has come to an end. But, we're ending with what may be the dumbest song featured this week. It's a piece processed pop from the Age Of Teen Idols back at the turn of the 21st Century. And, it came out in 1999, so it barely made the cut-off. The worst thing about the song is the lyrics. The music, while bland and boring, is harmless, but the lyrics are just so f***ing dumb. They're are literally random nonsense. It's just a list of statements, like "New Kids On The Block had a bunch of hits" and "Chinese food makes me sick." They're just sentences put together because the last words rhyme or nearly rhyme. It's just so f***ing DUMB!!!! So, let's get this over with! Here is LFO with "Summer Girls." Enjoy... If you can...

For today, U2 play on the roof of a building without getting the proper permits to do so. Naturally, our fine boys in blue shut down such tomfoolery post haste. But, those assholes played anyway. Well, I hoped they hated that 20 minute trip to the police station to pay a $200 fine that they could easily afford. I hope it stung like lemon juice on a paper cut. Anyway, here is "Where The Streets Have No Name." Enjoy.

For today, Paul Simon wants to be your bodyguard. I appreciate the offer, Paul, but I'd rather have a man who's bigger and scarier. I'll still call you "Al," though. But, please don't call me "Betty." Anyway, here is "You Can Call Me Al." Enjoy.
