Friday Funtime: Pop Argot Returns to Hell

That's right: another Friday the 13th means 10 more "Hits From Hell," songs I find utterly unbearable and think you should too. Watch out for 13-month-old babies breaking mirrors near you!

PS: This week I broke 150 posts on this blog, a milestone I wasn't sure I'd reach when I started. My sincere thanks to everyone who's been reading and especially everyone who's been responding. The feedback has been incredibly rewarding.

1. Gilbert O'Sullivan, "Get Down"
2. Jennifer Warnes, "Right Time of the Night"
3. Asher Roth, "I Love College"
4. Mariah Carey, "Loverboy"
5. Cat Stevens, "Another Saturday Night"
6. Dave Clark Five, "Because"
7. The Beatles, "For You Blue"
8. Jimmy Buffett, "Cheeseburger in Paradise"
9. Hank Williams Jr., "Mind Your Own Business"
10. J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers, "Last Kiss"

"Because"??? wow, that's one of the loveliest ballads to come out of the British Invasion. Seriously.

Of course, I can make a case for the merits of 7 out of 10 of those, and I don't even like Hank Jr. generally (exceptions: the execrable "Last Kiss", the Mariah C, and that "I Love College" atrocity, which was new to me).
