If the world were like this.
Meaninglessness.
Hevel - Hebrew word used for the concept of that which rapidly evaporates as quickly as it materializes.
Such is life.
Such is life.

“The Gate: While We Gathered”
Hedgehog’s Dilemma ft. Corey Moniz
Mastered by Josh Black
Crap Songs.
I must admit, I used Gooload recently to help me with a project of collecting every Billboard Hot #1 hit since the beginning of the Hot Era (late 1958). And in this endeavor I have realized there are several songs that I detest with a vitriol normally reserved for Sarah Palin and Fox News. In no particular order, here they are:
1) Teen Angel (Mark Dinning) - This is a “story song” about a guy’s girlfriend who gets hit by a train. This is because their car stalled on the tracks. They were able to escape safely but she went running back for - wait for it - his class ring that he had given her to wear. This is the stupidest song I have ever heard. If she went running back into the trajectory of a train for a ring, then it doesn’t surprise me that she got hit by said train.
2) American Pie (Don McLean) - I realize this is a classic, most people will love this song and do, but I hate it. It’s repetitive, too damn long, the guy can’t sing very well, and it has one of the most annoying melodies I’ve ever heard.
3) Lovin’ You (Minnie Riperton) - You know this one, right? La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la, doo doo doo doo (insert HIGH PITCHED SQUEAL HERE) - AH AH AH AH AH! Seriously, whenever I have to hear this song, I want to rip the vocal chords out of Ms. Riperton’s throat.
4) Disco Duck (Rick Dees) - What the hell is this? Seriously? This made number one and Led Zepplin never has?
5) You Light Up My Life (Debby Boone) - Boring. Just boring.
6) Knock On Wood (Amii Stewart) - Just don’t like this one. Can’t really say why.
7) Ring My Bell (Anita Ward) - This is a great song to play if you ever want to get on my last nerve. I hate it - hate her voice, the lyric, the dumbness of it.
8) Karma Chameleon (Culture Club) - I think that my hatred for this song originates in having seen very scary pictures of Boy George as a child. He scared me when he was on MTV. This song makes my skin crawl when that sythesized chord starts it out and twangs the melody. Yuck.
9) Rush Rush (Paula Abdul) - Besides the fact that I thought this song was saying “Mush Mush” for most of my adolscent life (thereby meaning that she was asking love to come to her via dog sled at the Iditarod), I think this song is pop fluff. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a Paula fan, but this one is not one I like.
10) A Whole New World (Bryson & King) - Disney movie themes should not be allowed to be on the Top Charts. They just should be banned from this. I remember when my 8th grade class did singing telegrams for a fundraiser on Valentine’s Day. We wore red shirts, boxers with hearts on them, and went to classes and sang a selection of songs to people. This, unfortunately, was one of the songs (my best friend Sarah made sure) that we sang. So I have memories of singing this song to people and having to attempt being serious while doing so.
11) Macarena (Los Del Rio) - Worse than Taco Bell on a bad stomach day.
12) Livin’ La Vida Loca (Ricky Martin) - Just stop. Stop it now. Please. I’ll pay you.
13) Creed and Nickelback - They both have one song on the Hot 100. And neither of them should. They both suck so bad it’s almost funny.
14) Hey Ya (Outkast) - This song annoys the ever-living breath out of me. That summer it broke the airwaves was one that I barely made it through. I think that might actually be when I gave up on most Top 40 and gravitated back to anything pre-90’s.
15) Super Freak (Rick James) - Okay, so this one didn’t make the countdown, but I had to include it here because it is the worst song in the world. I mean, come on - look at the dude. He’s so unfortunately disgusting (not as a human being, just as the midguided sex appeal he was trying to cultivate). The song is terrible and is only good for sampling (because a man named M.C. put his golden touches on it and inflated some parachutes dancing to it in the 90s).
So there. I said it. A few of the worst ever.
