Well, at least Dave didn't play "Candle in the Wind '97". But WOS2 Sister Hazel, one of the many worthless Hootie clones of the period.

WTF is this Barbie Girl thing? Sounds like a Madonna sendup.

If he calls it "a great record" in the backannounce I'll slit my wrists.  Horrible -- one of the WORST singles of the decade.

It was huge enough that Mattel sued them!

Can anyone tell me what country they're from?  I think this might be worth 5 frink points.

I'd be careful about making proclamations like that, we don't know what Dave thinks about this year yet, and I wouldn't put it past him.

Unsuccessfully, I'm happy to say (it's awful, but it's still protected parody). And this from Wiki:

"The song was voted the fourth "Worst Number One of All Time" in a VH1 poll, and was featured in spot #32 on VH1's "Most Awesomely Bad Songs... Ever" countdown. An unrelated VH1 countdown, VH1's 100 Greatest One-hit Wonders, rated it #88."

Well, that was a lot more interesting than any '90s set in memory, even with 3 WOS's from me.  Tonite I'll dig out my Best-of-'97 mixtape and see what other goodies we might've heard (or will, in the next '97 set, which may be nearly a year away, based on experience). 

But I'm jealous of Urth, who managed to get thru 1997 (and indeed the next 10 years) without having heard Barbie Girl until now.
