- Watch out, triva buffs. The song came out around '71, by a band called the
- "Buoys", on an album called "Dinner Music". They were, not surprisingly,
- a one-hit wonder. Actually, I *enjoyed* the song - it had a beat, you could
- dance to it.
-
- I think when DB is talking about worst songs, he's thinking of the really
- *insipid* stuff such as "Billy don't be a hero", "Seasons in the Sun",
- "Muskrat Love", etc.
-
- I mean, he probably *LOVES* Timothy, and (my personal fave) "The Fish-head
- Song" by Barnes and Barnes: "Fish heads, Fish heads, roly-poly Fish heads.
- Fish heads Fish heads, eat them up, yum."
