The Andrea True Connection! Way to pick out the porn star of the bunch, Mr. Mod. It’s pretty hard to top that. But I’ll toss in “Afternoon Delight.” It always made me feel like it was about sex with your Cousin Dad (or mom, as the case may be), but boy they played that a lot.
VIGILANTE JUSTICE: ROLL ON, KARAOKE POSSE COMITATUS
Coldplay Singer Gets Coldcocked
Cops nab Seattle woman after bizarre karaoke bar meltdown
AUGUST 10–A Washington man’s karaoke performance of a Coldplay song apparently triggered a female bar patron to attack him early yesterday at a Seattle bar. According to a Seattle Police Department report, a copy of which you can find below, Lindsey Lawrence, 21, assaulted the unnamed victim while he was performing with “two other subjects” at Changes Tavern, where patrons sing karaoke Wednesday and Thursday night from 9 PM until 1 AM. When the assault victim launched into Coldplay’s “Yellow,” Lawrence allegedly told the man that his “singing sucked” and that the song “fucking sucked.” She then grabbed at the man’s microphone and “pushed him and punched him in order to get him to stop singing,” cops reported. When employees escorted Lawrence from the bar, she “became very violent” and struck several other people (and was hostile towards police and fire department medics who responded to the scene). Lawrence was booked into the Seattle Correctional Facility, where she is currently being held on an investigation of assault rap. It is unclear why Coldplay’s music apparently made Lawrence snap, though a famous June 2005 New York Times appraisal by Jon Pareles may offer an insight. The critic called the British group “the most insufferable band of the decade,” adding that, “the lyrics can make me wish I didn’t understand English.”
New game!
LAST MAN STANDING: Dirtiest Top 40 hit ever
First up: “Cherry Hill Park” by Billy Joe Royal. Clearly and unapologetically a song about gangbangs.
Go!
I’ve always felt “Ring My Bell” sounded pretty filthy. Just the sheer sound of the song.
“More More More”

Cherry Hill Park is a great song. I had the Billy Joe Royal Greatest Hits Single with Cherry Hill Park b/w Down In The Boon Docks (or visa versa)
My choice would be “Let’s get it on” by Marivn Gaye
Did “I’d Like To Take The Full Weight Of That Chubby Teen Chick” crack the Top 40? That one’s pretty filthy.
I always thought it was weird that it has become common to play “Brickhouse” at weddings.
Lee Dorsey’s Ride Your Pony.
Also YMCA.
You feel weird about “Brick House” at a wedding? How about “Baby Got Back”?
Come to think of it, that’s not a bad choice for our filthy Top 40, is it?
YMCA? Don’t get me started on how completely weird the entire history of that song is.
I semi-seriously proposed “Baby Got Back” as the recessional at our wedding. I was voted down.

Both links seem to go to the same Monkey Man clip.
[FIXED BY THE BACK OFFICE]
This is weird. It doesn’t seem quite legal, does it?
