Thumbs down Does anyone remember "I'd rather jack..."

...well, it was voted number 91 in the UK in a list of the worst pop records of all time. For those of you who don't remember/chose to forget/have managed to erase this 'song' from your mind with the help of various cousellors/hypontherapists, it went something like this...

No Golden Oldies
Rolling Stones,
We don't want them back,
I'd rather jack
than Fleetwood Mac!

It was a dreadful dreadful song sung by a couple of 'pram faces' (to quote Popbitch).

Needless to say, the Reynolds Girls who 'sung' this song have disappeared but good old Fleetwood Mac are still around - as are the Rolling Stones (thank Heavens!).

What??????
Ah... such wisdom from the crew who gave us 'I should be so lucky.....'

Default What a painful song

There are just some things that are just flat out uncalled for.

That song, with those lyrics, being one of those many things.
