Was thinking about this because i just heard Karel Fialka's abysmal 'Hey Matthew' for the first time in years, and it left me wondering what ilxor Chewshabadoo thought about his name being used for such foul purposes. But what are the best and worst songs with YOUR name in the title?

best: The Poo Poo Man by Chet Poison Ivy & His Fabulous Avengers
or possibly Southern Mark Smith by the Jazz Butcher
last night I saw Swansea Sound play a song called "The Pooh Sticks", a song about a band sung by the ex-singer of that band, but tbh I'm not a big fan of that song (although I do love the Pooh Sticks) so I guess that can be worst

Worst: Theme Song from Doug, by Fred Newman. I wish I had kept a list of everyone who sang that at me in high school.

Best: Probably doesn't exist, but if anyone has suggestions, I'd be glad to listen. I prefer "Douglas" these days, which probably doesn't help matters.

Best: Karel Fialka's abysmal "Hey Matthew", which is admittedly not great but I have a soft spot for fake 80s synth reggae.
Worst: Cat Stevens - "Matthew and Son" is merely mediocre, so I'm going for John Denver - "Matthew" which is fucking appalling.

The best is prob Erica Kane by UO. Worst? Probably https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erika_(song) Erica is German for Heather so it's a nice song about a guy who picks Erica the flowers for Erica his girlfriend except it became associated with Nazi's and is one of the first things you hear them singing Shindler's List. I LOVED that song when I was little because they kept singing my name. It wasn't until I watched SL for the first time that I realized it wasn't just a sweet song like I'd always thought.
