As a confirmed geezer, it will come as no surprise to anyone that I keep my truck's radio tuned to one of the local "oldies" stations (50's, 60's, and some 70's music). As a rule, that guarantees me a pretty eclectic mix of songs I grew up with, and still enjoy today. But life seems to want to ensure that I don't overdose on my listening pleasure, so the DJ's, if they still call them that, throw in a song from time to time that's sure to evoke a disgusted snort from this old curmudgeon. I know, some of you may LOVE some of these nauseating ditties, but these are some songs likely to have me reaching for the radio dial:

#4: "In the Summertime", Mungo Jerry, 1970. Brain-rotting tripe.

#3: "The Night Chicago Died", Paper Lace, 1974. Pi$$ poor lyrics in a "bubble gum" song based on a preposterous non-event. An all-out shooting war between the Chicago Police and Al Capone's gunmen? "About a hundred cops... dead"? Hell, even the Great Fire and decades of crooked politicos couldn't kill that burg.

#2: "In the Year 2525", Zager & Evans, 1969. A decent musical score ruined by lyrics obviously written by someone's unbalanced 11-year-old kid. On crack.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. As long as the words rhyme."

#1: "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa", Napoleon IV, 1966. The musical equivalent of fingernails on a chalkboard.

Feel free to throw a few logs of your own on the fire.

Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten. - -Cree Indian Prophecy

When Boy George asked, "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?", I think the resounding answer was "Oh yeah, I really do."

Any disco crappola - They seem to be creeping into the oldies play lists.

Honey - Bobby Goldboro

Abraham, Martin, and John - They're dead, get over it.

Wham: I didn't even mention those 'cause I don't consider them songs, or even music. Rhythm, maybe, but not my type.  >:(
