Reviews for Dave Barry's Book of Bad Songs
Review - Dave Barry's Book of Bad Songs
Hilarious. Here's a sample:
There are a lot more bad love songs, but in my opinion, one of the worst, when you consider who wrote it, is "Silly Love Songs" by Paul McCartney because it ... it .. how do I find the words ... it just sucks. And so does "My Love," wherein Paul, apparently too busy to write actual words, goes with:
Wo wo wo wo
Wo wo wo wo
My love does it good!
The big question is: What happened to Paul? Did his brain get taken over by aliens fromt he planet Twinkie? I mean, he was a Beatle, for goshsakes, a certified genius, a man who wrote dozens of truly great songs, including such butt-kicking rockers as "I'm Down," and then for some mysterious reason he began cranking out songs like "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey," "Listen to What the Man Said," and "Let 'Em In," which expresses this powerful and universal theme:
Someone's knockin' at the door
Somebody's ringin' the bell
Someone's knockin' at the door
Somebody's ringin' the bell
Do me a favor, open the door
And let 'em in
