I'm not sure if this is trying to be funny or just plain tasteless. Even the author and singer of this song doesn't do it anymore.

Here's Julie Brown with "The Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun."

Here's what Bill Gaither, legendary Southern gospel songwriter, describes as the worst song he has ever written.

Since this is the jukebox from hell, I figure a little of my own music might fit in.

First, a homemade demo of a song I wrote in honour of my favourite aunt, at the time her husband
(my favourite uncle, like a second father to me) died. (She's since passed away herself, alas.) I named
it for the nickname her grandchildren gave her:

Margerina

Second, another homemade demo of another song of mine---this one named for my maternal grandmother,
who bought me my first cheap electric guitar for my 12th birthday:

Diana

(I'm a guitarist with a little keyboard knowledge, enough to be able to simulate the other instruments on a special
electronic keyboard I have. The guitars were: Les Paul 1959 reissue for "Margerina" and a Les Paul Classic Antique
model for "Diana.")

Finally, three recorded during rehearsals with my new band; the first two are original numbers I wrote, and the third
is our jam on a jazz vintage:

The Last Man Standing

Houseboat

My Favourite Things

Sorry, Ace, that doesn't fit. It's really good!

Haha. Fish Heads. One of the great bad songs out there, another Barnes & Barnes gem (I featured "Boogie Woogie Amputee" up the thread a while back).

It reminded me of a band of a similar vintage. I'm sorry if I've featured them already—I don't think I have, anyway—but this is one of their most notorious recordings. They had two songs to their credit, this and "Dead Puppies."

Ladies and gentlemen, I present the The Ogden Edsl Wahalia Blues Ensemble Mondo Bizzario Band with "Kinko the Clown."

Yes, it's just wrong.

Don't ask me how I found this song, but in the continuing interest of exhibiting weird music I present to you a rap about…bedwetting. Yes, the author of this piece "literally wet(s) the bed" and used it as inspiration for some of the lyrics in this piece.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to the Jukebox from Hell, Kathryn "Kitty" Beckwith with "$krillionaire."

'I am going to save you all from the horrors of a 60's song where the atonal "singer" (?) mindlessly repeats "The bird,bird bird,the bird is the word". It should actually be a crime to ever play that for any unsuspecting innocent that may end up flushing their ears out with acid.

I had the bad luck to witness something almost as bad,live on NBC's "The Toady Show" this morning.

Anyone remember a skinny Jewish kid named Corey Feldman that proved beyond all doubt he couldn't act on a sitcom?

Well,he's back,and now he is a rapper/dancer,and now he has proved he is so lacking in talent that he can't dance and can't even rap. Had to have some black guy named "Ice" come out and speak a few lines to bail him out.

Oh,he is a total failure at posing as a tough guy,also.Even the hoodie and the hair dyed jet black with a 50's female length and style didn't help. His dancing looked more like mini-strokes than dance steps.

I'm guessing someone in NBC management owed his agent a favor. The ONLY good thing about it was his agent was smart enough to have a whole hot girl band backing him up.

I am sure someone has posted this on youtube by now for those of you who are looking for a good laugh mixed with horror,but I ain't going to spring that on any innocents.

You just had to "go there",didn't you?

He started out going for the "watch me girls,I am a thoroughly dangerous thug" look,and morphed in some sort of Gay Caballero look.

Well, to me country music is music from hell. (Except for Johnny Cash, early George Jones, Patsy Cline, and earliest Willie Nelson . . .)

But back in jukebox hell . . .

From the annals of manufactured superstardom comes this, er, talent from Philadelphia.

Back in the late 1950s, a guy named Bob Marcucci discovered Frankie Avalon and turned him into a teen pop star. When Avalon's stardom proved to be short-lived, Marcucci went on a search for the next big thing. His search took him to his next-door neighbor, and while the neighbor was having a heart attack (I kid thee not), Marcucci spotted the guy's 14-year-old son. The problem was that this teenage boy had no singing experience and little natural talent, but Marcucci reasoned that the boy had enough good looks and charm to be a teen idol. The boy, wanting to raise money for his family, reluctantly went along.

Fabian, as the boy became known, had a string of top-40 hits (aided in large part by Marcucci's very aggressive marketing) before quitting the gig. While he could not sing very well, he was a natural as an actor, and had a 13-year career in the movies. To this day, Fabian still performs with Avalon and Bobby Rydell under the banner "Dick Fox's Golden Boys." For his part of the act, Fabian tells most of the jokes.

Here's Fabian's "Turn Me Loose."
