#130: Miley Cyrus!

Yes, she gets her own specific entry.

She’s just that bad. And that much of a disappointment. From the Disney Channel to The Playboy Channel (it’s inevitable, I’m predicting it right here and now!) she has simply given up, it seems.

Rather than make music or act – she may have sucked at both, but she was trying – she simply wants to take the Kardashian route and be famous for being famous. Sure, she is supposedly recording a new album, but who cares?

This is all the public pays attention to…

And who can blame them?

#41: Songs That Just Won’t.. Go.. Away!

To be clear, I’m referring to “fad songs” whose staying power seems immeasurable.

Unfortunately.

• Meatloaf  – “I Would Do Anything For Love” (It’s what, 40 minutes?)
• Celine Dion -“My Heart Will Go On”
• Bette Midler - “Wind Beneath My Wings”
• Los del Rio  – “Macarena”
• Sir Mix a lot – “Baby Got Back”

The list, and the tidal wave of bad memories it inspires, goes on and on. And let’s not forget the mullet that launched a song and dance craze, Billy Ray Cyrus’ Achy Breaky Heart.

It’s just unfortunate his crimes against humanity didn’t end there. Who knows how many “Achy Breaky”s Miley Cyrus has in her?

Songs that overstay their welcome are born of a natural popularity that record companies and disc jockeys extend for their own agendas. The real victims here are music lovers everywhere, their audio receptors irreparably damaged by extended listening to the same songs.

There should be a government investigation and eventually, hangings.

Anyone who thinks that is a tad extreme can listen to ”Who Let the Dogs Out” ten times in a row and then get back to me.
