Get with the beats, the riffs, the harmony, or if you wanna go to hell, Phil Collins.

I'll give it 2 points for decent comedy value, but the country flavor is mind-numbingly horrific.

If were doing novelty songs, then I think we need to include the kind of novelty songs...

It sucks going 0-5. You lose all 4 of your bot fights for the week and you also lose at life.

No....

3/10

If you want good novelty songs, there's one guy you should probably turn to.

Sorry that took so long to get back to this. One of the many great songs I've discovered thanks to The Muppet Show.

Oh lord... I remember this being played ALL the time on the radio years ago. 6/10 for being an uber-earworm.

I just watched Terminator 2 the other day, so this song popped into my head.

Love this song. Is it just me, or does the lead singer sound like Tom Jones? 9/10

Meanwhile, in a completely different direction... children's music&#33;

That one was okay, but it just seemed like there wasn't a lot to it. It was fun, but I get the feeling there was better stuff later on in that show. 6/10.

I can do with some children's songs though. Here's one that takes me back.

[philip]Fun Fact: Edwin Starr did not do the original version of that song, it was first recorded by the Temptations, but given the heavy political tone of the song, Motown was afraid to release it with a big group like the Tempts so they let the lesser known Edwin Starr record a version of it.[/philip]

Anyway, I've never been the biggest fan of that song in general. 5/10

Let's rock out to the Motor City Madman&#33;

Epic bump of sorts&#33;

This sort of thing has never been my cup of tea, so I sat down with trepidation and the opening was pretty much as expected, very 'driving rock' style music of the sort I find tough to listen to. By about three minutes in when the singing had ceased the guitar became quite pleasant actually and bits of it were very listenable, but ultimately that faded and the song doesn't really go anywhere for long periods, bits of it sound very harsh and clashy and although a lot of my opinion is based on my own musical taste - which is firmly rooted in '80s rock and pop - it is ultimately a soundtrack more than a song and although bits of it sounded coherent and whole, it is really just two sections connected by what can only be described as aimless guitar wandering. And if you can make any sense out of that review you are probably a more educated soul than I. (3/10)

For my part, a song I have been listening to far more than is sensible lately but I do like it an awful lot ;P: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=No6Vl0g5GW4

An all right song, could have been a bit more lively though. 6/10.
