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.

Top 50 Worst? songs Part 4
Well I figured I might as well get this list done and over with before Midsummers since I will have a hard enough time just trying to find a place where I can write and upload my blogs since we can’t put the competition on hold because most of the people left, myself included, will be extremely busy and will most likely have to leave the festival daily, or nightly, just to blog and miss out on all the fun. So I will not be able to check the list of songs while I’m there or listen to them as well. Anyhow I’ll get started with the list.
So I’ll start off with number 15 since the last one I did was 16. Number 15 is “I’ll Be There for You” by The Rembrandts. Wow here’s a band that went nowhere how bad do you have to be when your only hit song that you are remembered for is the theme song to a TV show? I can defiantly see why this song is on the list. I’m surprised that no one got tired of it sooner between overplay on the radio and most people hearing it every Thursday? night.
Number 14 is Bette Midler singing “From a Distance”. Ok this song isn’t that bad, but it was overplayed. Although listening to it now it’s almost like she’s trying to sing a gospel song. I know it was another song for our troops but come on I swear she says “God is watching us” like 50 times. Enough is enough.
Number 12 defiantly a song that does NOT belong on this list, I mean come on who doesn’t like “Kokomo” by The Beach Boys. This song is such a good song and the video was great too, especially with most everyone’s favorite uncle (I liked uncle Joey better but then I grew up watching Dave on Out of Control) playing the congas and Tom Cruise flipping liquor bottles like a pro.
Number 11 is “Invisible” by Clay Aiken. This song is a definite one to be on this list. If you sit and listen to the lyrics of it he kinda sounds like a stalker. The funny thing about him is the whole fact that for years he kept telling everyone that he was not gay even though he was big blip on everyone gaydar, but just this past year when it seems like everyone was starting to forget about him, he comes out of the closet. However I do like the reaction of everyone when he did, everyone pretty much said “Yeah what else is new?” So then he tries to dis Adam Lambert just to get people to say his name. What a looser it’s a good thing they picked Rueben.
Well I think I’ll stop there and work on the top ten tomorrow and Thursday so that Friday I can bring you another Dragon Gods story and maybe I’ll come up with another Eric story for Saturday, but then again this is a random blog so who knows maybe I’ll go for something completely different.
Random Bachelor Card of the Day: “Find a microphone (or use a beer bottle) and sing Beyoncé’s ‘Bootylicious’ to a group of pretty young thangs. Don’t forget to shake your moneymaker.”
That would be a fun one to do and can pretty much guarantee some time with the women since you’ve already broken the barrier down.

My First Time and I Feel so Dirty for Doing It
I still can’t believe I did it. It was my first time ever doing it, but I hope I never do it again. I still feel kinda dirty doing it. I mean she just did not perform to my standards. Whoa wait a minute here get your mind out of the gutter this is supposed to be family friendly here, I’m talking about not giving a waitress her tip.
Today for dinner I decided to go to Pizza Hut for dinner so I walk in and after waiting a minute or two my waitress gives me a menu, seats me, and walks away before I even sit down not even taking my drink order. After a minute or two she finally comes back to find out what I want. So I order some cheese bread and a P’Zone then she asks me what I want to drink. Well she brings me my soda and I drink it until there’s no more and then proceeded to wait for about five minutes until she brought my cheese bread sticks before getting my refill. So I ate my sticks and drank my soda until it was half gone then she brought my P’Zone, and didn’t take my empty plates or ask me if I wanted a refill. So I ate my P’Zone and at this point babied my soda even though she was in the booth right next to me rolling silverware and chit chatting about how she wishes she wasn’t there and how the one waiter’s girlfriend just broke up with him. After a while she got up and started wiping tables, on the other side of the restaurant! Then when I was finished she came over to ask me if I wanted a refill despite earlier coming by and seeing a cup that was between half and three quarters empty and most of my food still untouched. The one other thing she did that upset me the most was when she brought me my cheese bread sticks, she set them down on the table, set my refill down, turned around, walked a few feet, and then said “Enjoy”. That’s right she said it like it was an afterthought, I’m sorry but correct me if I’m wrong but as a waitress or waiter for that matter the customer enjoying their food should not be an afterthought. Now I would have excused this and thought nothing of it if the place was busy, but they were pretty much dead. So since she pretty much couldn’t care about me, her customer, I didn’t give her a tip.
Don’t get me wrong I usually give tips to wait staff, barbers, and whoever but the way she was acting I felt she did not deserve a tip. Do I feel good about it? No, but maybe she’ll learn from this and realize that in order to get a tip you have to earn it. Earning a tip means doing things like asking your customer if everything is ok more than once and not when they look like they’re ready to leave, or paying attention to their cup and giving them refills after they get around halfway through the drink, you know small stuff like that. So to any wait people reading this blog relax this is not a regular occurrence.
Random Bachelor Dare Card of the Day: “Have a group of gals give you a make-over using whatever girlie stuff they have on hand.”
This one seems pretty harmless enough and besides there is nothing better than looking a beautiful girl in the eyes whiles she’s putting stuff on your face.

The Bass Player That Got Away
Ok so I have had a pretty decent idea of what I wanted to write about today and at first was afraid I would not be able to tell the story while keeping it family friendly, then I realized the events that happened were family friendly. So I was worrying about nothing. Well anyhow on to the story of how close I was to finding a Ms Right Now who was a bass player.
One Breath at one point was doing so good that we were getting gigs in different major cities including Cleveland. Well one night we had a gig opening for an all girl rock band. We had got there early in the day after hours of long traveling. Well since we were the first band we got in and setup our equipment early. Then we just hung around. Well later on we were in the upstairs VIP room and we were just talking to the opening band, or at least the rest of the band was. I was busy carrying on an in depth conversation with their bass player. Don’t ask me what the conversation was about because I don’t remember, heck I can’t even remember the name of the place the band played in after searching through the different bars in Cleveland using Yahoo yellow pages and Google Earth. I just remember being pulled away from the conversation because our band was about to play and they needed me in the crowd, and getting the feeling that we both wanted me to stay up there.
So One Breath played their set list including such original hits as “Jump”, oh yeah another cool thing about the band was they didn’t do any cover songs they had nothing but originals. After they played we tore down our equipment and packed it all in the trailer in the rain. After the trailer was packed up Eric who was my only ride decided he wanted to leave not even half way through the other bands set list, although later I found out I could have stayed and gotten a ride from the rest of the band. So I didn’t get to even say goodbye to the bass player or even ask for her number. I had to leave right there and then or risk upsetting my best friend and reason for being there in the first place since it was his drums I was in charge of. Granted the reason he wanted to leave was because he wanted to go home and sleep in his own bed before going back up to Cleveland for another gig the next day at a different venue, but still it would’ve been nice to stay and hang out there for a while and maybe even do something that is not family friendly with the bass player. From what I was told she was asking for me later on.
If Eric can get a hold of the band again I may ask him to see about getting the video performance of the gig just so I can show my friends the band and the band they opened for.
Random Bachelor Dare Card of the Day: “In your best Austin Powers voice, approach a honey and say, ‘Do I make you horny, baby?’”
That would be a pretty simple one to do, not sure on how the girl would react. She would probably laugh her but off at me as she walks away.

Top 50 Worst? songs Part 3
Well since no one has come forward and said that they don’t want to see me blog about the Top 50 Worst Songs, that’s exactly what I plan on doing, and to anyone who does not want to see me blog about this well I’m sorry but you had your chance to speak up and didn’t. Anyhow the last one I did was number 27 so I’ll just right in from there.
Number 24 on their list is Five for Fighting’s “Superman”. I’m sorry what the heck is wrong with this song other than it may have been overplayed back in 2001? This song is a pretty good song plus it was a feel good song for our country after 9/11. This is yet another of the many songs on this list that should not be.
Wow two songs in a row that are interesting! Number 23 is one of the best songs out of the 80’s, “Sunglasses at Night” by Corey Hart. The person that wrote the article complains about the keyboard and synthesizer and the lack of any real instruments, but I’m sorry that seems to me like most songs from the 80’s.
Ok now as I was going over the list again I found one that I passed up, number 45 Ja Rule and Ashanti singing “Mesmerize”. Ok now this song is one that I can see on the list. It starts out good and is even catchy, if you could understand what he’s saying. Heck the video even starts out looking like Grease, and then towards the end for like the last minute or so it changes from a pop song to a rap song. I had to double check to make sure I didn’t hit a wrong button somewhere. Seriously, WTF?
Ok back to where I was number 22 is one of the few country songs I’ll listen to, “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)” by Toby Keith. This song basically talked about kicking the asses of the terrorists and pretty much supporting the troops. So why would it be on a list of the worst songs? It makes you think who the heck is picking these songs, don’t it?
Ok even though there was some other interesting ones I decided to skip ahead to number 19, “Broken Wings” by Mr. Mister. What the heck this song is a classic 80’s song. I’m seriously beginning to wonder who picked these songs to be on this list because this song defiantly should not be on it.
Ok now I have one more for the day since I’ve already reached 437 words which means I’m pretty much in my cushion area where if the judges decided that some of the words should be counted as one I’ll still be at least over 400 words.
Number 16 is a pretty decent song it’s “What’s Up” by 4 Non Blondes. This song was pretty good hell sometimes it just pops in my mind and I enjoy singing along to it. I just found the lead singer is now a very successful songwriter. She has written Gwen Stefani’s “What Are You Waiting For”, Pink’s “Get This Party Started” and, Christina Aguilera’s “Beautiful” (one of my few favorite non rock songs). So I guess even though 4 Non Blondes broke up she’s still making major money in the music business.
Random Bachelor Dare Card of the Day: “Call you girlfriend or your mother and pretend you’re in the slammer and need $500 for bail.”
Yeah no thank you I kinda prefer living. My mom would kill me if I tried this prank. So this is one that I would defiantly pass on.
