Oh, my, what a rotten song.

- and what a rotten singer, too (whoever it is).

Some songs make my flesh creep as soon as I hear the opening bars. Mawkish, tasteless, self-indulgent, crappy, saccharine, sentimental songs that make me scream and want to kill songwriter and singer, be it the pub drunk or Barbra Streisand. In fact, especially if it's Barbra Streisand.

Songs which should never have been written. Songs the singing of which should get you a jail sentence without the option. The following list is far from final.

1. Feelings
2. People. People who need people
3. My way
4. You’ll never walk alone
5. Unchained melody
6. It’s now or never
7. I believe
8. What a wonderful world

And then there's... ?
