No, that would be John Lennon's "Imagine."

Amen, brother.

Whenever I see Imagine ranked as the #1 song on some some list, I think "that schmaltzy pablum? Sweet Mother of Pearl, even the Swinging Medallions had better songs. If Lennon hadn't been shot outside the Dakota, the song would be ranked just ahead of "Please, Mr. Custer," and just behind "My Ding-a-Ling."

The lyrics are like a poem written by junior high school student, and as for the sincerity? Well, I can 'imagine no possessions,' but John, Yoko, and the Lennon estate have done quite well with royalties off that abortion of a song.

And, believe it or not, I LIKE John Lennon.

The worst song in the world is "Philosophy Of The World" by The Shaggs.

I think he was talking about music.

As the owner of the Shaggs' album, I can assure you it can't be filed under the category.

Man, did the father destroy the lives of those three girls.
