Gimme Yer Worst – A Final Chance For Comment
I’ve got most of your suggestions binned, and I’ll start posting items tomorrow (look for 4 different articles Mon thru Thu). But I’m having trouble binning a few suggestions. At this point, I’m leaning towards omitting all of these from the Playlist From Hell (PFH).
So here’s a last chance for input. No new suggestions allowed at this point, but you might change my mind on one of these few “worthy” items.
Here are the 9 problematic suggestions – “The Undetermined Few”, if you will.
1. Submitted by Twist: Toni Basil – Micky
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSfnopkT37I
Discussion: Yeah, it’s bad – bad enough to make you want to stick a pencil in your ears. But the video has some nice eye candy (for guys, anyway). PFH, or RQ?
2. Submitted by SGT Kane: Alice Cooper, Clones
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xgow_GbXhk
Discussion: OK, this is pretty bad – both musically, and visually. But I’m torn – is it bad enough for the Playlist From Hell, or just NBE?
3. Submitted by AW1 Tim: The Beach Boys – “I Get Around” (self spoof)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-0CS-T1HUQ
Discussion: Truly bad. Pathetic, even – but intentionally so, since they’re spoofing themselves. So how about it: PFH, NBE, or RQ for humor?
4. Submitted by Jabatam: Mick Jagger & David Bowie – Dancing in the Streets
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9G4jnaznUoQ
Discussion: Torn on this one and need help – is this one apropos for the PFH, or is it bad enough to be hilariously funny (RQ)?
5. Submitted by Twist: David Hasselhof – Du
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yT5rqKMaHAg
Discussion: Can’t decide if this is PFH-worthy bad, NBE, or campy enough to be RQ-funny. Thoughts?
6. Submitted by Flagwaver: Rick Astley – Never Gonna Give You Up
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
Discussion: Can’t decide – is this bad enough for PFH, or NBE?
7. Submitted by Hondo: Alien Sex Fiend – Attack
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHTn-vw3g64
Discussion: Need some help here. I think it’s bad enough for the PFH – but I might be biased, since I recommended it. What say you? Bad enough for the PFH, or NBE?
8. Submitted by Old Tanker: Cocteau Twins – Love’s Easy Tears
Discussion: Bizarre video – and IMO, the song’s really pretty much self-indulgent crap, too. But I need some help with this one. Is it bad enough for the PFH, or NBE
9. Submitted by Aysel: Kyary Pamyu Pamyu – PonPonPon
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzC4hFK5P3g
Discussion: A truly . . . odd video (the Japanese seem to do a lot of those). And on an endless loop, it probably violates the Geneva Convention. But it seems listenable in smaller doses.
Need help here, folks – bad enough for the PFH, or NBE?
Well, that’s it – the others are binned. If you want to give me your opinion on one or more of these, put a comment here with the item number and one of the following:
NBE – not bad enough
RQ – Redeeming qualities list
PFH – Playlist From Hell
One comment per person, please. And please, no long discussions – I’m going to have to extract the data manually and do a quick turn tomorrow evening.
I’ll consider any inputs received by 1800 (6PM) Eastern Daylight Time tomorrow (Mon, 1 Apr). No guarantees that you’ll change my mind on any of these – but you might.
Author’s Note: The broken link for item 2 (Alice Cooper – “Clones”) is now fixed. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Hondo … are you kidding me? Das Boot did not make it?
The Germans will be so disappointed!
MCPO: the above nine are those that I haven’t yet “binned” into categories. The others are already “racked”.
As I noted earlier, I’m not going to rank-order (“stack”) them 1-to-whatever within any category. I don’t really have a good way to do that without a survey or poll, and I simply don’t have time for that.
Hasselhoff is a keeper–in the Gay category, of course. The Alice Cooper link doesn’t work. Jagger/Bowie are just being Jagger/Bowie. You’re right about the Geneva Conventions violations with the Nipponese entry–but they are ALL that way. The only one that is trying to be good and is stupid bad is that one with the red haired fellow, Rick something.
What? You didn’t like the Nork video? Awwww…. Lil Kim will be so butthurt over that.

Try this for the Alice Cooper link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xgow_GbXhk
Be warned though. This is horrible. Three full minutes of Alice Cooper closer ups, 80’s cross fades, and lyrics that makes your mind bleed.
OK, the Alice Cooper – Clones link is fixed now. For some reason it didn’t transfer properly as a hyperlink when I originally uploaded this article.
Folks, if you want your opinion counted – PLEASE use the suggested format (number of entry followed by either NBE, RQ, or PFH). If I get a bunch of suggestions I simply won’t have the time to read comments and extract what you’re saying if I’m going to turn the corner on Tuesday’s update. Thanks in advance.
Think I’ll pass, Strickly Country, nothing eles.

I still gotta support my entry:
#3: PFH
I say that because even though it is a self-spoof, there were a LOT of people who didn’t get that when they first saw it. personally, I can’t even finish listening to it, as it’s that bad. 🙂
But that’s my own opinion, and I understand that other’s mileage may vary, so it’s all good.
BTW: Thanks for doing this. It’s a nice relief from all the sad and bitter news, the posers, and other crap I witness each day.
@7. Thanks for the link. Well, thanks may not be the right word now that I’ve viewed half of it.
Hondo: Too many rules. Rack ’em!
2/17 Air Cav: too many rules? Well, that depends.
If I get 15 substantive responses, I can read them for content and extract the data in a reasonable amount of time and make changes to Tuesday’s list (30 min to an hour). If I get 150, no way.
So far I ain’t got many substantive responses. But there’s over 24 hrs to go before cutoff.

RedTag: yeah, it looks like someone “pulled the plug” on the Beach Boys spoof video from a legal perspective. Unless someone can find another link that’s still up (I haven’t been able to find another link), I’ll have to “wing it” on that one with the input I’ve got so far.
Hondo read mail!
For the beach boys song I think I found it here:

PFH. Funny, but still absolutely horrendous.
