- Hey, wait a minute, I've got to jump in on this one now. Up until you
- netters mentioned Poor,poor pitiful Me - I was in total agreeement
- with your worst song nominations.
- Poor, Poor Pitiful Me is a Warren Zevon tune!!!! Not Linda Rondstadt-
- she just sang it. When taken in the proper context of Warren Zevon-ness
- the words "... wearing a blender..." make perfect sense and are no where
- near to being the worst song of all time.
-
- After all, he's just an excitable boy. And I'm sure Our Hero knows this
