Still remember messing with Yummy, Yummy, Yummy as a kid after a school bud got hold of the last of a discarded bottle of rum.
"Yummy, yummy, yummy
I got rum in my tummy,
and I feel like a-drinkin' more."

Except for "I'm Henry the VIII." That one fully deserves a spot. "Second verse, same as the first"...WHAT? NOOOOOOOO!
"Watching Scotty Grow" was a far lower mark than "Honey" for Bobby Goldsboro (a.k.a. "Froggy").

I Got You Babe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You can't have it both ways

The only two I really hate are "Cherish," which should never be played on radio again, and "McArthur Park," which is actually the WORST SONG EVER RECORDED IN HISTORY.

It's not a "song"! Not a favourite of mine, either (personally, I woulda preferred Harrison's "Not Guity" have made that recording instead)...but, c'mon it's a Lennon psychedelic/mind freak sound collage. Not a "song".

Probably different "critics" onboard now vs. when the List of 500 was put out...
