- I'm afraid that I must disagree with that last statement. While I like the
- song, America's "Horse with no Name" Has the greatest disregard for the
- English, or for that matter any, language. I refer of course to the line
- which goes
-
- "In the desert you can't remember your name
- 'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain"
- Can we nominate cover songs for worst rock and roll song ever? If so,
- how about William Shatner's "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" or
- "Mr. Tambourine Man"? Yuck.
