Song List

I think it was Marc who complained that while reviewing for the CPA exams, he had a neighbor who kept on singing April Boy Regino's latest hits in his videoke/karaoke machine (There was no Magic Sing yet). Imagine having April Boy's music playing in your mind while taking the board exams.

My landlady likes to belt out "Si Aida, Si Lorna at si Fe," and "Tie A Yellow Ribbon" at least twice a week. Even Panda and Polar stay away and hide somewhere else when she tries to impress her neighbors with her vocal exhibition.

Which brings me to my list of some of the most awful songs composed in this planet. Considering that my knowledge of pop music is relatively limited, my list is, well, not exhaustive.

We begin with,

OCEAN DEEP: I know a lot of you folks like this, but I don't. Why not sea deep?

SHAKE YOUR BON BON: I'm not sure exactly if this is the correct title. Although screaming girls and gays would ogle and drool over Ricky Martin while he is performing this number, I'm sure a lot of them would prefer to ogle and drool over him with their hands covering their ears.

UNO, DOS, TRES...etc: Again, another hideous Ricky Martin fast latin number. I'm wary of songs that start with counting numbers (like 5,6,7,8) because it's like you're being forced to do aerobics even if you don't want to.

KNIFE: "Knife, cuts like a knife/I'm so dee-eeeplee woun-ded, knife" I don't even know where to begin. Hand me the knife please.

McARTHUR PARK: The classic non-sense lyrics: "I left the cake out in the rain, and it took so long to bake it, and I'll never have that recipe again," let's all do this together, ready, "Oh nooooo!"

And the worst, ever:

DON'T BREAK MY HEART, MY ACHY-BREAKY HEART: Wow, really. I'm speechless. The composer should be charged with a crime against humanity.
