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?

And I like the Who album more than most people seem to.

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

Best: "Henry's Work" - The Wake

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.

Worst: Will Smith - Will 2K (Willenium)

Best (pre the singer becoming a massive bigot): The Smiths - William, It Was Really Nothing

Best (tenuous): Whitney Houston: How Will I Know

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.

Would Gary Gilmore's Eyes be a contender too?

But on any given day they switch between good bad and the adverts slip thru

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.
