Sesame Street is a wonderful thing.

So after some discussion today, Chris totally thought I was going to pack this song up:

There's no way I could pack Frankie Goes to Hollywood up.  I mean, seriously - without Frankie, how would people know when to relax?  And more importantly, what the hell would this girl have to wear?!?

Anyway, this song totally deserves to be on this list, even if they've made some amazing music in the past:

It is truly my belief that if U2 stopped making music in 1996, they'd be one of the greatest bands of all time.  That said, they didn't, and this steaming pile of crap annoyed each and everyone one of us, endlessly saying "YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!" in iPod commercials for what felt like eleventy billion years.

Note - I just had to add eleventy to my dictionary in Google Chrome.  It should be in there, even if it's not a real number...yet.

Speaking of numbers, that's my other gripe with this song - Bono apparently doesn't know how to count.  This lack of number knowledge stinks up the song from the beginning, with this poor attempt at counting in Spanish in the first line:

"Uno dos tres CATORCE!"

Roughly translated, that becomes this in English:

"One, two, three, FOURTEEN!"

Bono, it doesn't matter how much AIDS you cure - you need to be able to count to four to survive in this world, regardless of what language you're doing it in.  Someone get the Count of Counting on the phone, as I think we need to have a counting intervention.

If you're looking for some good U2, check out "With or Without You," or "Where the Streets Have No Name."  Leave this one alone though, so we can swipe it and send it on its way to the sunny shores of Abu Dhabi.
