“I be tossing and flossing my style is awesome
I’m causing more family feuds than Richard Dawson”.

I mean, look at him! How can this cuddly man cause so much strife, RZA?

No wonder.

Alison Moyet - Love Resurrection

“Show me One Direction
I will not question again
For a warm injection
Is all I need to calm the pain”

Wolf Parade

“Farewell to Forest Green
No more Oasis in the Anthropocene”

Alice Cooper - Poison

“Your mouth, so hot
Your web, I’m caught
Your skin, so wet
Black Lace, on sweat”

“Around this town you’ve ceased to be
That’s what you get for sleeping with The Enemy”

I’m totally fine with the HEYYYEEYYEEEAYEEAY song but for many this is the worst band ever namechecked on the worst single ever.

Leave Greg Graffin out of this.
