FA Cup - Round Two

Lee Dong Gook got a mention too

A few weeks back I wrote about the FA Cup and the drama that I've witnessed from it over the years. Then as fortune would have it my beloved Boro produced of of the best performances I've ever seen from them.

Top ten terrible songs - Part II

It's took me all of three weeks to come up with another five songs and today it looks like this. There's 100s of songs that I dislike with a passion. In theory, a top 100 would suffice but I'm a lazy sod, so ten will have to do. 

Before we start, a big hello to the person who sent me an email calling me a c**t for listing Journey's 'Don't stop believing' in the top five. It's good to know one is revered.

 6) Joe Dolce - Shaddap You Face

This is the song that has gone down in legendary terms of utter awfulness. Not only did it knock John Lennon's 'Woman' of the no-1 spot but it also kept 'Vienna' by Ultravox off the top spot for three weeks too.  As I boy I was partial to the odd novelty song but this takes the biscuit. It's just plain bad and anyone who bought this record should still be hanging their heads in shame 30 years later.

Top ten terrible songs

I like music, it's been a social and emotional crutch in my life at times. I used to play original Beatles 45s on my parent's record player from an early age which has resulted in two things. One, I'm a lifelong Beatles obsessive and anorak. Two, I'm a total music snob.

Growing up in the 1980s was an interesting time for a host of socio-economic reasons, not least the music  scene. For the large part the 80s was bloody awful in terms of fashion and hairstyles. I recall men with perms and girls wearing chunks of plastic as jewellery as two fine examples.
