Last night I was torn between watching Flight of the Navigator<\/em> and VH1’s 50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs. So I settled for a bit of both.<\/p>\n

I watched VH1 long enough to see 10 or 11 songs played and commented on. My favorite comment of the night referred to Butterfly<\/em> by Crazy Town, and is as follows:<\/p>\n

“The first 7000 times you hear this song you think, ‘What a bad song!’ Then the next time you hear it, you realize it’s not a bad song. It’s a [expletive deleted] atrocious<\/em> song!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Referring to the same song:<\/p>\n

“These have to be, word for word, the worst lyrics ever written.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My favorite song of the night was Informer<\/em> by Snow. I had totally forgotten about this song until I heard it last night. I distinctly remember thinking it was cool when I was a kid, and my feelings haven’t changed. Any white boy that has the guts to write a song like this, much less perform it, has my respect. So what if no one understands a freakin’ word he’s saying? It gives me hope for my own songwriting future.<\/p>\n

In fact, in Snow’s honor, I’ve penned some incomprehensible lyrics of my own. Read them out loud, and mumble exaggeratedly, like Bob Dylan but more stoned. It’s fun!<\/p>\n

I just need a few more verses, a drum solo, a cool foreign accent, and a record label. I can’t wait till someone calls my song [expletive deleted] atrocious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
