I'm not impressed at all (well a bit, the Muskrat one was creepy enough)
Send the kids to bed and try to beat this genuine naturalistic description of fighting-bulls life (the song is not complete, I didn't wanted you to suffer that much; translation included after link)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZifjWcJb ... 95&index=6

The little Bull

You can take away the fighting bull beside the water, or that one beside the river (1)
You can take away that fighting bull in the shade, or the hidden one
(Refrain)-But nobody must touch that fighting bull near the fountain, leave it alone
Don’t mess with it, since that pretty bull is a born-stallion
The cows always chase him, and won’t let him rest
And besides bravery, looks like a Don Juan.
That’s some pretty bull, ay pretty bull, it wears ankle boots and it is not barefoot.

I knew this bull wouldn’t disappoint me, all cows follow him and he’d like
To mount them at once, even though he is only two years old.
(Refrain)-But nobody must touch that fighting bull near the fountain, leave it alone
Don’t mess with it, since that pretty bull is a born-stallion
The cows always chase him, and won’t let him rest
And besides bravery, looks like a Don Juan.
That’s some pretty bull, ay pretty bull, it wears ankle boots and it is not barefoot.

Once, a cow who didn’t wheedled him allowed him to slobber over under a holm oak and, after that
Refused to take things to the next level, but before she could escape, he was already over her.
(Refrain)-But nobody must touch that fighting bull near the fountain, leave it alone
Don’t mess with it, since that pretty bull is a born-stallion
The cows always chase him, and won’t let him rest
And besides bravery, looks like a Don Juan.
That’s some pretty bull, ay pretty bull, it wears ankle boots and it is not barefoot.



(1) Translator note: Some context, this appears to be a selection of bulls for a bullfight
(2) Don't think I understand the ankle boots section much more than you

Youtube doesn't have "Me Japanese Boy I Love You" by Bobby Goldsboro. That's way worse than Honey.

I'm not sure that that's the worst of Jan Terri's
videos. Baby Blues is about a dude with blue eyes
and they cast a dude with brown eyes. Yikes.

Ever wonder what Wendy's training budget could

The nice thing about this video, is they give you the words printed -- in case you missed. Double torture.

See the Muppets (Beaker) give this song the send up it deserves.

Those are some truly awful songs-
my vote so far....

Honey
Havin my baby
Feelings

(shudder)

Does anyone remember the song where the dad is talking to his little boy, the parents are splitting up? I've tried to think of it and must have mercifully wiped it from my memory.
It was an awful song.
