It's been a while but I've been kinda busy. I plan on trying to get this whole list together so that it will update weekly, just as soon as I find the time. Anyhow as customary here is a little year in review before the music to jog your memory about the year.
This is the year that Nancy Kerrigan was attacked by a guy that was hired by Tonya Harding's Ex-Husband and her bodyguard. Al Gore attended the Superhighway Summit which helped to make the Internet what it is today. Kurt Cobain is found dead in his home from a gunshot to the head, many people say that he killed himself but we all know it was his wife Courtney Love. The end of Apartheid in South Africa becomes official with the first multiracial vote and Nelson Mandela becomes the first black president in South Africa. OJ is accused of killing his ex-wife and later found innocent in what was, up until recently, called the trial of the century. Microsoft stops using MS-DOS. Some kid by the name of Michael Fay got his ass smack with a Singapore cane 4 times because he thought it would be cute to take some Singapore road signs. We celebrated the 25th anniversary of Woodstock. Now in the spirt of one of the greatest Music festival of all time let's get on with the list.

Top One Hit Wonders of the 90's Part 4 (1993)
Well here it is the next installment of my 90's one hit wonders. The year is 1993. Some random interesting events from this year include the debut of the longest running episodic TV series, on January 11th Monday Night Raw debuted and will be celebrating its 1000th episode; the Clinton era began; the Buffalo Bills become the laughing stock of the NFL by being the first team to loose three Super Bowls in a row; the whole Waco incident happened; I got stuck delivering newspapers during the Blizzard of '93; Lorena Bobbitt causes all men to shudder after she chops of the wang of her husband and then took a drive and threw it out the car window; and the ever classic video game Doom is released.
Some notable people that were born in 1993 were Scotty McCreery, Taylor Momsen, AnnaSophia Robb, and Elián González. Notable deaths include Dizzy Gillespie, Audrey Hepburn, André the Giant, Brandon Lee, and Herman Munster.
Who am I kidding you didn't come here to read about 1993 you came to hear some good music. Before I start let me just say that while 92 was hard because of a lack of good songs, well 93 was the exact opposite. For 93 I had to choose from 16 songs to get my top ten and I still couldn't limit it to 10 there is a tie for the 10th video. Now for you to see my list.

1 hit wonders of the 90's Part 3 (1992)
It's time again for my list of one hit wonders. The year 1992 the the gave us President H. W. Bush puking in the lap of the Japanese Prime Minister and not even a week later Japan apologizes for forcing Korean women to become sex slaves during WWII. The year that Euro Disney opened only to be rename Disneyland Paris two years later, it was a year after that they saw their first quarterly profit. And who can forget the L.A. Riots? This year also saw Pope John Paul II issue an apology to Galileo and lift the inquisition on him even though he died 350 years earlier in his home alone because the church put him on house arrest and limited his visitors for fear of a conspiracy and heresy.
The year also gave us such celebrities as Taylor Lautner, Olympic Gold Medalist Shawn Johnson, Kate Upton, Selena Gomez, Damian McGinty from Glee, Josh Hutcherson, who played Peta in hunger Games, and Miley Cyrus.
On the bright side it also gave us these one hit wonders.

Top One Hit Wonders of the 90's Part 2 (1991)
Well it's time for part 2 of my one hit wonders of the 90's. When it came to the year 1991 I had a very difficult time finding songs that I liked. In fact I was lucky to find ten of them for my top ten list. Well might as well get going with the list, but first let me repeat my little disclaimer so that I don't hear the complaints about some of these being called one hit wonders.
I know that some of you may argue that some of these artists are not one hit wonders. So the list contains recording artists who reached the Top 40 of the U.S. pop chart (the Billboard Hot 100) with just one single. This means that there may be some artists on these lists may have had released other songs in their genre, however they did not reach the top 40 on the Billboard 100 chart which is the standard measure for musical hits.
Now the list:

Top One Hit Wonders of the 90's Part 1
Last week on Facebook I announced that I would do a top ten list of the top one hit wonders of the 1990's. After some consideration I decided to sort of drag it out some and first do a top ten list for each year of the 90's from 1990 til 1999 after which I will do a list for the entire decade.
Before I start the list I feel I should put up a disclaimer. I know that some of you may argue that some of these artists are not one hit wonders.

With that out of the way it's time to start the list.

A McDonald's Ad and the comments it got
It all started as I was looking around on the web and went to the Yahoo main page. On the Yahoo main page was a news story about some French McDonald's ad that had just gone viral. So since, like most of America, I've worked at McDonald's and have eaten there a few times I decided to check it out.
Well the ad shows a young boy sitting in the booth waiting for his dad to get back and looking at his class picture. He then get a phone call and tells the person on the other line that he misses them and he is looking at their class picture and he loves them and whatnot and as his dad gets back to the table he hangs up the phone. His dad goes on and talks about how in his school days he was quite the ladies man and goes on to say that it's too bad everyone in his son's class is a boy cause he'd make quite the ladies man himself.

My Hectic & Wonderful Week Part 1
Well this past week was one hell of a crazy one for me. It all started last Wednesday when I got up early to take my grandma to the airport then after that I promised my sister I'd help her move the last of her stuff from where she was staying back to my mom's house, however leaving the airport instead of going on 275 North I went 275 South and I ended up getting very lost luckily I was able to get directions from a cute girl at a 7-11 that was able to get me to 19.
Well I finally made it to my mom's house and after packing up some more stuff I waited around for Marisa to get off work. Once she got home I followed her to the house she was staying at, we grabbed her stuff and I dropped it off and left because I had to run home and unpack my car before heading back out to find the house where my friends wanted me to meet them.

Life & How Easily It Can Change
You know 4 months ago if you would have told me that I'd be living at my grandma's, my younger sister would be living in Brooksville with my friend, and my youngest sister would be living with her friends parents all leaving my mom to bust her ass to the point of exhaustion and pain just trying to take care of the house and three dogs, I would have called you crazy. However that's exactly what happened all because of my asshole of a stepfather.

Michael Jackson
Ok Now I know he died a few days ago but after seeing all the comments online I figured I'd put in my two cents. Now this may upset many people but I'm sick and tired of hearing about him. Yes he was a great artist and will be missed but come one people give it a rest.
One of the things that really gets me is the fact that everywhere I look for every one person that talks about how sorry they are to see him go there is two people talking about him being a pedophile. Now this may upset certain people but according to the courts and the law he is not.

Movie Remakes and a Thank You
Well I was having a conversation earlier about movie remakes so I figured I would list a few of my favorites along with the originals. Some of these I had no idea were remakes until I looked them up.
The first one is “13 going on 30” with Jennifer Garner which is a remake of a movie called 14 going on 30. This movie was pretty good I especially loved the music including the Thriller dance. Her attitude in the movie is so funny. This is one of those that I had no idea it was a remake although I don’t know if you can count the original or not since the plots are different and the first one a made for TV movie and not released in theaters.
Cape Fear was another good one that I saw once again I never saw the original one but the version I saw with Robert DeNiro was good. DeNiro is a very good actor. He has played so many good roles and usually plays such a macho guy; however his role in Stardust was great however seeing him dress up as a woman in scenes was hilarious.
Ok now Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was another good movie. Some people may not like this version however from what I am told its closer to the book than original was. Personally I liked both versions of it.
Ah yes Cruel Intentions another great one. Who can forget the great kissing scene between Sarah Michele Gellar and Selma Blair? I know I can’t. Plus Sarah was kinda slutty in this movie although the whole incest thing wasn’t so great.
The movie “Four Brothers” was a really good movie with one of my favorite actors Mark Walberg. Well apparently this was kind of a remake of a John Wayne movie called “The Sons of Katie Elder”. Four Brothers was really good and dealt with four adopted trying to avenge the death of the woman that raised them.
I just saw the remake of Friday the 13th and I loved it. I can’t wait for the sequel to come out, they did an awesome job with it and the best part was Jason didn’t get hockey mask until halfway through the movie.
Well not all remakes are good though take Godzilla for example the originals were cheesy but good. However this remake was just awful. I mean come on a radiated lizard egg? Oh and who can forget the lone Japanese guy who can only say Gojira. This was so crappy it was actualy nominated for the Golden Raspberry award.
Gone in 60 seconds was a remake that I had no idea was a remake. From what I’ve read the plots of the two movies are similar. Plus this movie had Nick Cage and Angelina Jolie.
How can I talk about movie remakes and not talk about Halloween. Rob Zombie did such an excellent job remaking this movie. Hell they even begged him to do sequel which comes out on August, 28.
Well since the WARP contest is now over I want to say I enjoyed reading everyone’s blogs and those of you that read mine thank you very much and I will continue to post here and there and will continue to post my Return of the Dragon Gods story every week. I still have a few more stories from my times hanging out with Eric including a video we made of basically me making a fool of myself. Well we’ll see when I blog next but I am defiantly going to take a break. So for now thank you every one.

A Needed Vent
Ok this is pretty much going to be a huge vent about I guess my home life so bare with me. Oh and if you look forward to my “Random Bachelor Card of the Day” segment then I’m sorry to say but since I don’t have my deck with me I won’t be doing it today.
Ok well for those of you who don’t know my relationship with my step father is strained at best. This is mainly due to many things he has done in his past, and his extremely bad temper. Oh and by the way if it means anything to anyone he is a Pisces. Well lately he has been getting on my case about finding a job. It has been two years since I had a job, and has even gone so far as threatening to put my little step sister into my bedroom and putting me into her bedroom if I don’t have one by the end of July, because he has been using her money that she gets from the wrongful death lawsuit of her mother to pay some bills. So what do I do with my time well I study and do homework for college. Don’t get me wrong it’s not that I don’t want to get a job, cause I do, but I don’t like being backed into a corner. Not to mention the fact that it’s not that easy to get one now a days.
Well today he did something that upset me so much that I’m afraid of what I may say or do to him when I see him, he went into my bedroom and took my cloak. This cloak has a lot of sentimental meaning to me because my sister sent the material for it to my good friend from South Korea, and then that friend actually spend time making it and putting it together. So it was not just a cloak you would go to the store and buy, and he took it and told my sister that he burned and threw it away because I’m a pagan. Thankfully he did not burn it and my mom made him return it, but he says that I have to keep it in my car because he does not want it in the house. So basically it’s getting to the point where the energy in my house is very negative, and I feel uncomfortable even being in my own house even when he is not there.
Thinking a little about it now my sister decided to have added to our recent ritual that my mom see my stepfather for who he really was, and for her to come to the conclusion that he needs to go. Well I think it just goes along the lines of be careful what you ask for because you just may get it.

Pet Peeves
Well today I was trying to figure out something to blog about then I remembered something I’ve been putting off, pet peeves. This kinda resurfaced last night at Java and Jam or rather after Java and Jam while some of us were standing around talking.
Ok so after Java and Jam last night a small group of us were standing around talking and without asking if it would bother anyone lit up a cigar. Personally I don’t mind smoke from cigarettes or some other types of things that get smoked, but cigar smoke is quite a bit strong. Now proper manners would normally dictate that you ask people if it would bother them before lighting it up, and if they say it will then either don’t light it up or simply go around the corner or something to light it up. I mean come on, most people that smoke cigarettes ask if it will bother other people, so why is it that people who smoke cigars can’t do the same, especially when you have a group of people that are coughing and choking behind you. It is just common courtesy.
Another pet peeve of mine that I seem to come across a lot at home is when I go to use the restroom and the person who used it before me left an empty roll of toilet paper on the roller. This kind of goes hand in hand with another one of my peeves the last person who put the fresh roll of paper on the roller did not replenish the stock under the sink. Ok how can you know there is no more paper left and just leave it for the next person? It makes me wonder how they would feel if it happened to them. It is just one of those things that really upsets me to no end.
One of my other pet peeves is when someone drinks a glass of milk or juice or something similar and only leaves practically a sip in the jug. How can you leave just a sip in the jug? If there’s that much left after pouring your glass then just finish it off. How hard is it to take a sip or two from your glass and just pour the rest in your glass from the jug?
Another thing that gets me is when you have people that make plans for you and then complain when you don’t get there when they said. I’m sorry but I’m thirty years old I can make my own plans. Just because you want to meet someone at a certain time doesn’t mean that I can get there at that time. The only thing this does is make me rush to get there at the time that you said I’d be at a certain place without asking me if that time was good for me.
Random Bachelor Card of the Day: “Stand on a stage or the bar and dance Coyote Ugly style, or entice a group of girls to do so. (Ask management first; you’ll probably get tossed out if you don’t)”
I have a special rule to add to this one. You cannot do this card while at Coyote Ugly because that would be cheating.

Return of the Dragon Gods Part 7
Ok well I know the other day I started a Dragon God story dealing with one of Zanroar’s generals Lord Shieldheart, but I didn’t realize when I started it that I’d have to make it a two parter however considering how important his childhood was in explaining his motivations I had to write it. So here is the second part of his story.
“It seems that my doppelganger should be arriving right on schedule with the Rod of Falzure. Shieldheart, I will need your castle to serve as a meeting point for my minion to give me the rod.” Zanroar said. “Most certainly my master, I shall join you shortly. I have some business to take care of.” Lord Shieldheart said. “Very well, but bring some subjects back to test the Rod of Falzure.” Zanroar ordered as leaving. Lord Shieldheart gave an evil smile, “Oh I have just the subjects to bring.”
The busy mountain city of Stormforge was thriving with people. Being the only city on the path in the mountains separating one part of Pandryl from the rest, it was full of activity. Screams started coming from the north followed by half dragon soldiers, being lead by Lord Shieldheart. When Shieldheart got to the center of the city he demanded to see the royal family. Hours later King Jamkool arrived in the city’s center. “Who are you and what business do you have bringing these freaks of nature into my city?” King Jamkool demanded. Shieldheart chuckled, “I am Lord Shieldheart you may remember the name since you killed my father, and my grandfather had your son killed and a curse put on your wife to never bear another son. I’m here to take back my Mithral mines, and rid Pandryl of you and your family for good.” King Jamkool rolled his eyes, “Oh yeah I remember the name. Your father’s death pleased Erythnul well. Now you better leave before I crush you like a cookie.”
Just then an explosion is heard in the south and a piece of metal punches through the top of the mountain landing in front of Shieldheart. He looks down and immediately knows it’s a piece of the rod of wonder. Then there is a flash of light and the ground changes from hard rock to mud. A portal opens up to Lord Shieldheart dungeon, and expands to engulf everyone in the city. Before it closes he sends some of his soldiers to find the other princess. The portal closes and standing in the dungeon are even more soldiers waiting to put the Dwarven city in the cells.
As his army puts the prisoners away Shieldheart goes to his throne room to meet up with Zanroar. When he arrives he informs Zanroar of the explosion and gives him the piece that landed. Zanroar thanks him and tells Shieldheart that for his loyalty he will be the first to receive the mark of a general of Zanroar, draconic grafts. With that Shieldheart is taken to the infirmary.

My Official Midsummers Blog
Ok now that I’m more awake than I was yesterday I can talk more about how great Midsummers was. I was extremely happy with how the community came together to help us out. Many people doubted that we would be able to pull it off but not only did we pull it off but we pulled off our first festival and it was a complete success. Since we are a public organization I don’t feel that I’m not supposed to say what I’m about to say, however I will keep it general for now and once the monthly treasury report comes out. From what many people have said when most groups put on their first festival they come out of it in the hole with a negative amount of money, so if a group comes out of doing a festival even then they did pretty good, but we came out of the festival with a positive amount which I guess would defiantly equal a success.
We had so many great people there including those that put on the very powerful main ritual. I realize now that Apollo was trying to warn me that the energy in the circle would not agree with me, since right before I saw not one but two hawks, the messenger of Apollo, circling overhead. We were in the middle of doing an amazing grounding when I happened to open my eyes and look up to see two beautiful hawks flying around in a dazzling circle above. I grew a little concerned but, being the newbie I am, I ignored the sign and closed my eyes when I reopened them moments later and there was no sign what so ever of the hawks. Well I went into the circle and after a while I was bombarded with so much energy that I could not handle it. Then again considering it was held at noon, when the sun is most prominent, and it was a ritual that placed an emphasis on the male aspect. I do wish that I could have stayed however I just felt so overwhelmed and confused with why I was reacting the way I was, thankfully my good friend Brian was there to walk with me. This just proves to me that the ritual was very good and powerful and the coven that put it on is very good, granted it wasn’t my cup of tea but I know of others who it did interest and that is good.
We had two concerts by two enthusiastic headliners. I did not get to see Elaine Silver because I was working on cleaning the dishes from dinner and working on my blog; however I did catch the tail end of Hecate’s Wheel and was amazed. It was quite a funny picture if anyone was watching me; as I approached the Longhouse pavilion while they were performing and just stopped and scratched my head. “Are they playing what I think they are playing”, was what went through my head. As I listened more they were playing one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs, “Comfortably Numb”. I quickly found a seat and enjoyed the rest of the concert. Later on after the concert the drummer felt so comfortable that she could leave her kids in the hands of one of our great Ashes representatives and was able to go dance around the fire circle.
All in all Midsummers 2009 was a huge success and to all of you that made it I’m honored to have shared the experience with you, to those of you that could not make it I hope to see you all at Yule 2009 in six months.
1 st Random Bachelor Card of the Day: “Find an empty table and drink the remaining sips in the deserted bottles and cups.”
Wow that was a pretty disgusting one considering what some people do with their discarded drinks.
2 nd Random Bachelor Card of the Day: “Ask a gal to layer some lipstick on you, pucker up, and smooch a guy’s bald spot.”
Well if you plan on doing this one I would recommend you bringing your own bald guy cause that could get pretty awkward.

Midsummers, WoW, and other randomness
Well Midsummer 2009 is now officially over and boy was it fun. Just like at FPG Beltaine I felt I became closer to a few people. We had some wonderful carnival games including a bean bag toss, a football throw, bowling, a dart game, a ring toss, and many others. We had an EXCELENT coffee shop that would honestly put the coffee shop at FPG to shame, which is great considering FPG is considered by many as the measuring stick for festivals. Speaking of which Thor and Mystral, who have had a big hand in helping FPG grow, were a huge help to us.
I’d have to say that one of the measuring sticks of how much fun this festival was is the fact that the Hobbit, my friend and now former competitor, was having so much fun yesterday that she decided to not blog and forfeit the competition. That in itself is a huge measure of how good and fun this festival was considering how much she was in to the completion. So yes that is right the 2009 WARP Competition is now down to 2 people, myself and BiaAlethia.
I am still exhausted after the long weekend. I learned many things I need to remember to do next time including drinking more water, wearing sunscreen, and putting on bug spray. Ok wow only 225 words and I’m so tired I’m having a hard time coming up with things to say so I’m just going to do my random Internet search and see what I come up with.
Ok that was an interesting random search, I came up with games and the first thing that comes to mind on that subject is World of Warcraft. This game as many people can attest to is extremely addictive. I currently have three different characters that I cycle through on two different servers. I have a human warlock on one server that I use quite often and on the other server I use I have a blood-elf thief and a Draenei warrior. I have to admit that I do love playing this game and just wish I had more time to play it, however between school work, working on the Phoenix Projects website, and blogging I find it hard to find the time to play it.
Speaking of the website now the Midsummers is over its going to go through some major changes. The main theme will be advertising our Yule festival coming up in December, yes I know that is 6 months away but the sooner we advertise it the more it develops in people’s minds.
Well that put me at 436 words so that’s great. Usually I would put my random Bachelor Dare Card here but I’m too tired to grab one so tomorrow I’ll just do two of them.

My American Pie Moment or the Time I Met a Girl Wearing Only Boxers
Well now that I have gotten the worst 50 songs ever list done, and I have posted my “Return of the Dragon Gods” story for the week (which will end up being a two parter). I will tell you another story of some of the great times I have had with my best friend Eric. This story, surprisingly, has nothing to do with the great times I have had being a roadie for his band One Breath; which surprisingly might be getting back together for a reunion with some new song as well. No this story deals with one of the many times I went to visit him when he would work out of town.
I called him up one weekend and asked if he was too busy that weekend to hang out, since at the time we were living about 50 miles from each other him in Youngstown and me in Stow. Well he said that he had to work in just outside of Pittsburgh (about 20 miles or so east), but he could give me some gas money if I wanted to come out so I said sure why not.
Well I drove out there and when I finally got to his motel the he was staying at I found out that our other friend Brandon was staying there as well. So the three of us piled into Eric’s Geo Metro and went out, we went to Denny’s and ate some dinner. Brandon flirted a little with the waitress. Then we rode around a little bit and went back to the motel.
After a few minutes of shooting the breeze I decided it was time for me to make the long trip home, so I asked for the gas money they said they’d give me. Well they told me sure we’ll give ten bucks, but you have to work for it. They told me I have to dance for them “American Pie” style. They told me that it would help me boost my confidence with the ladies. Well knowing Eric and how his mind works I said sure I’ll do it, beside I needed the gas money.
So the grabbed the clock radio and proceeded to try to find a good song on the radio. Once they told me to start I danced around a little with a chair and then I took off my shirt and twirled it around a little bit to be funny and threw it to the side. They told me they wanted more so I took off my shoes and tossed them aside along with my socks. Well they still weren’t satisfied so I took off my shorts and threw them.
Well next thing you know Brandon grabs my clothes and runs out of the room, leaving me to chase him wearing nothing but my boxers in about early March. I chased him down the hallway and down the stairs and he continued to run into the parking lot and across the parking lot and hung them off of a truck. I got about two steps towards the door towards and froze.
Sitting on the curb was a beautiful girl wondering what was going on. Well after about a minute and Eric encouraging me to go on I went out there and grabbed my clothes put them back on and then explained to the girl what had happened. She laughed and we just kept on talking for a few minutes until she went back to her room.
Well after my friends joked with me a little bit about not trying to get invited to follow her back into her room they gave me my $10 and I left. So that is the story of how I met a girl wearing only my boxers.
Random Bachelor Card of the Day: “Return from the bathroom with your fly down or with toilet paper stuck to your shoe. Buy a drink for the first sweetie who points it out.”
That could be a fun one to try.

Wow this is the latest I’ve posted but I have overcome the challenge of posting while at Midsummers. I can’t wait to post about Midsummers and all the chaos that will happen tonight.

Return of the Dragon Gods Part 6
Well here it is my weekly chapter of my “Return of the Dragon Gods” story. Well last week I told the story of the bumbling thief that stole the rod of wonder from Lady Moonshadow’s vault, and then proceeded to try to use it resulting in him becoming a pile of ashes. So this week I will tell the story of Lord Shieldheart. However to tell his story I must go back many years to when he was barely an infant.
Lord Howard Shieldheart was a proud man who was eager for his son Richard to take his throne and lead the battle into the impending war with the dwarves of Stormforge. The day of the royal coronation Richard he had gone missing. The only thing left in his bedchambers was a note explaining that he was taken by the king of the dwarves King Jamkool. Furious that the dwarves and taken his son who had just given him his first grandchild he stormed the Dwarven kingdom and kidnapped the King of the dwarves only son, Nanar. Howard made the demand that his son Richard be returned to him at once. King Jamkool, who was a little mentally unstable made the promise to give him Richard in exchange for not only Nanar, but control of the Mithral mines as well.
After a few days Howard agreed on the conditions providing that Richard be returned first then Nanar would be safely returned, however the dwarves counter offered with the papers to the mines being delivered, then Richard would be returned. Howard agreed to the terms. Days later dwarves were spotted delivering a box to the gates of The Shieldheart castle. Richard quickly ran to the gate to open the box hoping against hope that his son was somehow in it. Richard opened the box and it was filled with the body of Richard slaughtered. Attached to the box was a note reading “We said we would return Richard to you. We didn’t say anything about him being alive when we did. However fear not he was slaughtered for a good cause, he was a sacrifice to the great Erythnul.”
Infuriated that the Dwarven king had broken his vow he decided that he didn’t have to honor his end. Howard ordered his faithful servant to take the infant prince into the woods and kill him. The servant took him into the forest but didn’t have the heart to kill an infant. So he took him deep into the forest and left the infant there to let fate do whatever it wished to the baby.
Hours later a hunter found the baby and brought it in to the local orphanage to be raised there.

Top 50 Worst? songs Part 6 (The final part)
Well here we go the final installment of the 50 Worst Songs. I’m sure most of you are happy about this but I enjoyed doing it, and may do something similar in the future. Well anyhow here is the top 5 so called worst songs of all time.
Number 5 on the list is a favorite of mine, Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby”. Ok sure he stole his opening riff from Queen, but hell this song is so corny who can stop themselves from singing along to it. I know I can’t stop myself. How can you forget the great lyrics “If there was a problem? Yo I’ll solve it. Check out my hook while the DJ revolves it.” Although I’ve gotta say the metal version of this song is much better. Word to your mother.
For number 4 we go to another good song this one is from everyone’s favorite band to hate Limp Bizkit and their song is “Rollin’”. This song was great, it is catchy, has a great beat, and the video had Ben Stiller and Steven Dorf in it, and was probably the last video to feature the twin towers in it. The video was filmed at the World Trade Center and possibly some scenes inside of it as well.
Moving right along here, the third worst song of all time according to Blender magazine is “Everybody Have Fun Tonight” by Wang Chung. Come on people this song is a classic how can anyone say it sucks? It’s yet another song that should not be on this list. Sure these guys were one hit wonders but heck their one hit is a good one. Who doesn’t want to have fun? Probably the guys that wrote this article in the first place that’s who. Judging from some of the songs they’ve picked these guys must a couple of boring stiffs who don’t know how to have a good time.
The second worst song ever is a song that for once I agree with one hundred percent for it being on this list, although it should have been number one. The song is “Achy Breaky Heart” by one of the most popular fathers out there right now Miley Cyrus’s dad Billy Ray. I must admit though I love the Weird Al parody version of this song.
Ok and drum roll please, the number one absolute worst song of all time according to Blender magazine is “We Built This City” sung by Starship. Seriously? This is the worst song ever? What the hell? This song is a classic it shouldn’t even be on this list let alone in the number one spot.
I’m glad this list is over because it gives me a headache just thinking of all the good songs that were on this list and knowing some of the songs that should have been on it. Oh well maybe my friends and I can come up with a better list, hell we could even make it into a drinking game. That could be fun I may have to get everyone to try it this weekend.
Random Bachelor Dare Card of the Day: “Call an ex on your cell phone and tell her you want her back bad. After a few moments of saying how much you’ve missed her lovin’, stop and say, ‘Wait is this Candy? Ah crap I dialed the wrong number.’”
That would be a funny one to see someone do. Granted I couldn’t do that one since I don’t have an ex, but still I think it’d be funny.

Top 50 Worst? songs Part 5
Well like I said yesterday I plan on finishing up the so called 50 worst songs list. Since I’m down to the top ten I’ll just go straight through without skipping over songs, for today I’ll more than likely only go to number six and then tomorrow go for 5 through 1. Anyhow without further ado let’s start.
Number 10 is a pure classic by two legends Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder singing “Ebony and Ivory”. This is yet another song that should not be on this list. This song talks about racism and how it should stop. So what makes it a bad song?
Number 9 is “American Life” by Madonna. Well this is actually a song I agree with being on the list of 50 worst songs. Just listening to it is enough to make my ears hurt. This is not a normal Madonna song because most of her songs are actual good.
Number 8 is Eddie Murphy singing “Party All the Time” with Rick James. “Party All the Time” is a decent song so why would they put it on this list? I mean who hasn’t gone around singing this song? Is it just because Eddie is known as an actor and not a singer? I have always had fun listening to this song.
So the next song on the list is “Don’t Worry Be Happy” by Bobby McFerrin. I can see some of these songs on this list where they talk about being happy to the point where it’s annoying, but this song just genuinely makes you happy. Maybe it’s just the Jamaican accent that makes you feel good I don’t know but it just feels good listening to this song. Then watching the video I can’t help but laugh at Robin Williams. That guy alone is enough to make you laugh. The song talks about not letting things in your life getting you down, and I think that everyone should do this. Yeah we have stuff going on in our lives that we wish were not weather it’s a jackass of a stepfather making threats against you or bills that are overdue just don’t let it get to you. It makes me wonder if these people are listening to the lyrics or the meanings behind the lyrics.
Today’s final song, number 6, is “The Heart of Rock and Roll” by Huey Lewis and the News. Come on how can you not like this song? Besides the fact that lyrics in the song are all true, so what if he’s just name dropping cities it’s still a good song to listen to. The rock genre is really starting to grow heck two of the top contestants on American Idol this year plus last year’s winner are all rockers. Hell one of those contestants were asked to go on tour with one of the greatest classic rock bands of all time, Queen. So yeah the heart of rock and roll is still beating and beating strong. This song does not belong on this list period.
Random Bachelor Dare Card: “Go up to a blond bomb and pretend she’s a porn star. Say, ‘Didn’t I see you in On Golden Blonde?’”
Wow that’s enough to get you slapped across the face. I’m not so sure I’d want to do this dare.
