Now "Institutionalized" would have been another fine choice to put on this list. "No, you're not thinking, you're on drugs. Mom just give me a Pepsi please. All I want it a Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me."

I haven't heard that song since I was like 10 years old, but I loved it back then. Awesome tune.

That song makes me want to skewer my own eardrums. The first time I heard it I immediately tried to gouge out my short-term memory.

Africa by Toto.

That is one of the more awful songs of all time. I think we have a winner.

Whoa, just giving this thread a quick skim. Blarg, for once, you are way off the mark here. We are talking that song, I something something in aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaf-rica, right? If so, that song is great.

Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
aint nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
God bless the rains down in aaaaaaaaaaaaafrica
something something something things I never something.

Virginia Coalition has a cover, so does Howie Day. Now speaking of music to be embarrassed about, how 'bout that Howie...

africa is an amazing song

[samjjones]

hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in twelve-thirty flight
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards
salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say: "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for
you"

[Chorus:]
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that
I've become

[Repeat chorus]

[Instrumental break]

Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you

[Repeat chorus]

OK, good. I was pretty sure I should be embarrased about that.

Un-interesting anecdote: I've always been horrible at deciphering lyrics by ear, and when I first heard this I thought Patrick Monohan said "Van Halen is over-rated" instead of "That heaven is over-rated". This led me to have a great deal of respect for Mr. Monahan, both for recognizing a truthitude, and for having the balls to say it on record.

Then I found out the real lyrics and was like "Oh... oh well". lol.
