    Haaayyytes
Carly Simon - "You're So Vain"
Debbie Boone - "You Light Up My Life"

Beach Boys, "Student Demonstration Time"

1) Come As You Are
2) Smells Like Teen Spirit
3) Negative Creep

and

1) Rape Me
2) You Were Right
3) well actually all these would be tracks off Bleach or Incesticide that I can't remember the names of

Foo Fighters is TEH ROY4L3 SCUK

I like that Lord Custos has the Hoodoo Gurus in his "likes" column. I like that this is probably the only place I will ever come across that knows who the Hoodoo Gurus are, especially since they are/were such a fantastic melodic rock band.

Three Favorite Songs of the Moment:
U2, "A Celebration"
    it just makes me feel happy all over
Bananarama, "The Wild Life"
    really quality fun pop from a movie I've never seen or heard of before in my life
The Supremes, "I Hear a Symphony"
    going back to the classics ever since the "Momrock" thread gave me an incentive to do likewise

Three Least Favorite Songs of the Moment:
Scarlet Division, "Theme to 'Oliver's Twist'"
    I really adore Jamie Oliver's current cooking show, but I can't stand that theme song.
That song that goes, "all the things she said/running through my head" over and over again. It's supposedly called "All the Things She Said", but in my little biased mind the only song that should be called that is the Simple Minds one. I heard it while at the beauty salon yesterday (needed to get my eyebrows shaped) and it annoyed me.
Billy Joel, "Tell Her About It"
    used to really like that song, but now I just think I'm really, really tired of it

One song I'm surprised I like:
Uncle Kracker's cover of Dobie Gray's "Drift Away". Maybe it's because I was driving at the time I listened to it and listening to music whilst driving is a completely different animal to listening to music in general, but I really, really liked that cover. I even sang along to it. Am I to be sentenced somewhere to some musical dungeon?

The idea of least favorite is best exemplified in Pavement's tribute song to REM whence Malkmus relates REM's Reckoning: "Time After Time" is my LEAST FAVORITE song!"

That is to say; which songs do you reluctantly endorse? Time After Time, suffice to say, would be one of them. A good question.

Least Faves:
There She Goes by Six Pence None The Richer
Don't Dream It's Over by Six Pence None The Richer

You must mean "You Know You're Right". I just heard that on the radio 20 minutes ago.

Songs guaranteed to annoy me:
Starpower/Sonic Youth
Three's Company Theme Song/Ray Charles and someone else
Everlong/Food Fighters

The song was actually sung by Mr. Charles and Julie Rinker! Why this fact isn't in the Ripley's museum totaly befuddles me.

For the "Three's Company" theme song, the '70s sitcom's producers originally wanted the show's stars to sing it. RAY CHARLES (no, not the famed blind piano player), who had worked with PERRY COMO for 35 years, was brought in to work with JOHN RITTER, SUZANNE SOMERS and JOYCE DEWITT.

"We went over to the piano and for an hour we went through this piece of music," explains Charles. "When it was over I went out in the hall and the producers were there, and they said, 'We want you to sing it.' So I said I need a girl, and I called JULIE RINKER and we went into the studio and recorded it."

To this day, Charles has a hard time fathoming the popularity of the ditsy '70s sitcom. "I had no idea how many people watched this show," he explains. "And now, no matter what I've done in my career -- I've done a lot, I've got two Emmys -- when I say I sang the theme on 'Three's Company,' I'm suddenly a star!"
