    About this audiobook

    When funny man Dave Barry asked readers about their least favorite tunes, he though he was penning just another installment of his weekly syndicated humor column. But the witty writer was flabbergasted by the response. "I have never written a column that got a bigger response than the one announcing the Bad song survey," Barry wrote. "More than ten thousand readers voted, and the cards are still coming in."

    Dave Barry fans and music buffs alike will appreciate this hilarious stroll through the world's worst lyrics in such special categories as Teen Death songs, songs That People Always Get Wrong, songs women Hate, and, of course, Weenie Music.

      For all the songs Neil Diamond "brang" to us. . . for the chair that did not or would not hear poor Neil in "I Am, I Said," and every other song or lyric you've ever loathed--including my personal rip-out-the-radio anthem, "Copacabana" by Barry Manilow. From the weird ones, like "Muskrat Love" and "MacArthur Park," to breakup sobfests like "All By Myself"; from teen-death ditties to all the girls Willie Nelson's loved before, if there are any songs that you would honest-to-God pay cold cash never to hear again, betcha Dave has covered them in this great little book in his inimitable style.

      Hilarious! Thanks for the laughs!!
    • 4/5
      Hilarious book. You probably need to be a baby boomer, and thus remember all the crappy songs, to fully appreciate it.
    • 4/5
      A great book, if you aren't prone to getting bad songs stuck in your head. It's a lot of fun to hear tales of songs that are supposedly popular that people really can't stand.
    • 5/5
      Run, don't walk, to get this book. Despite Dave's warnings at the beginning of the book (DO NOT TURN THIS PAGE!!), read it. Ignore everyone who looks at you as though you are losing your mind as you laugh out loud every few seconds. Chase down those folks who are trying to escape you as you HAVE to read one paragraph after another out loud to them so they can see what you're laughing about!Then try to get those songs out of your head. Those awful, horrible songs you perpetually keep buried in the deep dark recesses of your subconscious because it just HURTS to much to think about them - and once you think about them they go 'round and 'round and 'round in your head for days on end! ("Songs she sang to me, songs she brang to me...")Says Dave, "I've never written a column that got a bigger response than the one announcing the Bad Song Survey. More than ten thousand readers voted..." This little book is the result. Dave (and his readers/survey respondents) rip up Weenie Music, Love Songs, Songs Women Really Hate, Teen Death Songs, and, ultimately, Songs People Get Wrong. I DARE you to read this and NOT laugh!I DARE you to read this and listen to "Help Me Rhonda" without hearing "owls pukin' in (your) bed"!!!!

      Dave Barry is amusing, this book is not.
    • 5/5
      One of the funniest books I've ever read.
    • 5/5
      I laughed until I cried. I am, apparently, of a similar vintage to Mr. Barry, and grew up with the same songs. While I don't hate all of his listings, I quite understand others' loathing of the songs that were sang to me, songs that were brang to me.
    • 4/5
      Listening to this book was still a laugh-out-loud experience, even if I didn't know all of the songs referred to as they were mostly songs popular in America.
    • 5/5
      Always hilarious. I feel you will need to be over 40 to really get the hilarity of most of the songs he mentions
    • 4/5
