THE BILLBOARD BOOK OF NUMBER ONE HITS
The Joker: Comedian Ron James incorporated lyrics from this song into one of his routeens.
I think I also remember Homer singing this on The Simpsons.
You're Sixteen: This song is so horrible.
The Way We Were: Barbara Streisand is truly the worst singer in the world.
There was a sketch on the CBC Radio show "Double Exposure" about people protesting logging in British Columbia. Barbara Streisand started singing as part of the demonstration and the trees fell down.
Sunshine On My Shoulders: John Denver was also a terrible singer.
They did a bit on "This Hour Has 22 Minutes" years ago that went something like "Scientists estimate that by the year 2000 many speces of monkies, tigers and parrots will be extinct. In other horrible news John Denver is touring again."
Once while watching CITY-TV, I heard the late great Mark Dailey say "Coming up on Great Movies, it's "The John Denver Story." It's a movie about a down-to-earth country singer who died when his plane suddenly became down-to-earth as well."
Band On The Run: I have the album "Band On The Run." It sucks.
Sundown: I have this album. It sucks.
Rock Your Baby: I have this album, too. It also sucks, but what's interesting is how long the album version of "Rock Your Baby" is.
You're Having My Baby: "You didn't have to keep it" Oh man, this song is so seventies.
I Shot The Sheriff: On "The Fresh Prince Of Bell-aire" I remember Will saying once "OK, Ok. I shot the sheriff, but I _did _not shoot the deputy."
Can't Get Enough Of Your Love, Baby: Barry White was such a nigger.
You Ain't Seen Nothin Yet: I have the album with this song. It sucks.
Cat's In The Cradle: This is one of the saddest songs ever.
I was listening to Mix 97 one day during "The All Request Cafe." A guy phoned up requesting "Cat's In The Cradle." When the deejay asked him if he wanted to dedicate the song to anyone, the guy replied, "For my old man."

PASTOR PETER J. PETERS DEAD AT 64
Pastor Peter John Peters, pastor of the Laporte Church Of Christ in Colorado and shortwave radio preacher, went on to be with the Lord July 7 at age 64.
Pastor Peters had been pastor of the Laporte Church Of Christ since 1978 and had been variously on AM, shortwave and the internet since 1987.
That man taught me more things than any other preacher, Christian author or other minister I have ever come across. Among the most important things he taught me were that the Law Of God is still in affect, the identity truth, that we do have power as Christians and are not helpless, and that you should always stand up for the truth.
Pastor Peters also gave me my first radio job as a copy writer.
Cause of death is believed to have been exhaustion.

THE BILLBOARD BOOK OF NUMBER ONE HITS
You're So Vain: Who the buck cares who this song's about.
Crocodile Rock: My parents have the tape of "Elton John's Greatest Hits." I can remember listening to it when I was five years old and we still had the farm. It holds a special place in my heart and contains this song.
Love Train: This song is so stupid.
My Love: I have the album with this song. It sucks.
We're An American Band: From every talk show you've ever listened to.
Angie: "Goatshead Soup" refers to Bacus, the Greek goat god.
Midnight Train To Georgia: I once heard this on the CBC Radio 2 show "Tonic", a jazz program. How does this song qualify as jazz?
Keep On Truckin: This song was used in "Reservoir Dogs."
