I knew this list was going to grow—considering the subject, it couldn’t help but—although I also expected someone to come to Dan Hill’s defense (no one did!).
I heard Kenny Rogers’s “Lucille” last week and thought, “Wait! That’s the worst one!” I think I can’t stand that even more than the Pina Colada song, although if “Lucille” was up against “Seasons in the Sun,” it might be a toss-up (or “chuck-up” would be more accurate).
And while we’re on the subject, radio programmers, please listen up—there is more than one disco song. Not that it’s a genre I ever want to hear again, but if you’re going to play disco, try to bring out something besides “Brick House.” There are more songs in that genre, some I could even tolerate. To listen to some stations, one would think Donna Summer never existed.
