Enjoy listening to the world's favourite songs!

They forgot "Feelings"

[tdadams]

Pooyum Nadakkuthu Pinchum Nadakkuthu, Thirumalai Chandran

Wow, I can't believe this made the list. I love this song.

I only wish Gwynnpflanpilpffimgill Cymru Llanflanplagentef by Vlalblas Vantramkomsthanjon made the list.

[RobRoy]

This article is a gem, a treat, and a real surprise. I am a BIG fan of the pre-eighties Genesis, but Peter Gabriels "WOM" goofiness caused me to respect him as a musician only.

>>Wow, I can't believe this made the list. I love this song. <<

Yeah, but the "B" side never got the respect it deserved.

[RobRoy]

>>They forgot "Feelings"
<<

Yeah, but "Sailing" is better.

Cristopher Cross is da man!!!

They forgot "Feelings"

Stop it! Did you ever hear Carol Burnett sing "Feelings" on her show? It nearly ruined my childhood. :)

Very witty!!!!

If I was a radio talk host I would play that woebegone pop song "Feelings" whenever a democratic (liberal)guest appeared and "I'm Proud to Be An American" whenever a Republican (conservative) guest was introduced.

Those of us skeptical of multiculturalism will be heartened by the dizzying variety of local prejudices on display in these unlovely songs

MS Bump

But Steyn's "skeptical" view of multiculturalism is too muted here.

Objectively, many cultures are poisonous, evil, vile, self-corrupting, etc. In some cultures they love their relatives, in others they eat them. Multiculturalism is STUPID and EVIL.

[RANGERAIRBORNE]

Can there be anyone (at least any serious beer-drinker and head-butter) who does not know every word to "A NATION ONCE AGAIN?". Quite simply the greatest song ever written- and it is NOT a "dirge"- Steyn should know better. (Although it is not easy to dance to, it IS pretty lively!)

I recall Dave Barry doing a list of all-time WORST songs- I don't recall if the execrable "FEELINGS" was on it, but if not, it should have been.

But my all-time least-favorite song has to be "MY WAY", no matter who is warbling it. My idea of Hell would be to be trapped in a karaoke bar for eternity, with some tuneless drunk singing "MY WAY" forever. (Come to think of it, just the karaoke bar thing would be Hell enough!)

[CyberCowboy777]

Handel's Messiah bump!

[conservativemusician]

Thanks for the ping.

This guy kills me. He shreds this moronic list AND the BBC AND multiculturalism!?! Too damn much.

[conservativemusician]

Never mind Lonesome in Massachusetts.

I got his record, too.;)
