Yeah I was dissappointed that Loverboy was listed as a negative.

And Thriller came out in '82. Motherfucking Thriller. Can '81 top that?

1982
'82 gave us Dead Kennedies' Plastic Surgery Disasters, Duran Duran's Rio, Venom's Black Metal, Van Halen's Diver Down. For those alone I'd give '82 the edge over '81.

Speaking of dumb lyrics:

Chartex, I totally agree. Godawful schlocky production values used to be par for the course in children's entertainment. You were shocked when the stuff actually sounded slick and professional. Listen to Zack Attack and tell me that stuff is any more amteurish than Rebecca Black. And the fucking Brady Bunch…

If that proposed sequel to Troll 2 ever gets off the ground she should be in that too.

The song really isn't all that far removed quality-wise from the crap on the radio. It's just far enough off to be interesting. And Rebecca's voice sounds bizarre on the chorus. That's what makes the song work for me.

Shaggs Movie
This girl deserves at least a cameo in the upcoming Shaggs biopic. If she can act at all she should play one of the sisters.

Enjoy it while it lasts, Lupe.
Rebecca Black is taking #1 away from you sometime in the next two weeks.

That song ruled. What I liked even better was the H.R. Pufnstuf theme.

Come to think of it, I might actually have liked "Fox on the Run" a little better. Can't be sure at this point.

Ballroom Blitz
My brother and I loved practicing that crazy "ooooh yeah!" We were determined to get it exactly right. Sometimes we did.

"The Gambler" was (and is) the shit. I loved that one when I was a kid.

That song was a HUGE hit. I still enjoy that species of maudlin yacht rock. The vibe of mellow 70's schmaltz will be never be reproduced.

First Least Favorite
"Billy Don't Be a Hero" by Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods. If your name was Bill or Billy when that song was on the radio then kids would constantly sing it at you. That was so annoying.

Tiger Blood
is what separates the survivors and the casualties.

I would masturbate in a downward direction
The tremendous downward force of my ejaculation would soften the fall and I would likely survive with naught but superficial injuries. It would make for a thrilling story for any of my grandchildren over 8 years of age.

Venom
"In League with Satan." Impress the big red guy just before you meet him. He might give you a job.

Will and Fucking Grace?
She lost me when she said she fell in love with Will and Grace and compulsively rewatches episodes. That show is retarded crap, and anyone I've ever known who likes it is a moron or a dickhead or both.
