On that note (ha ha), I give you one of my most favorite cringe-worthy songs of all time, from the movie Breakin 2: \u00a0Electric Boogaloo… \u00a0Carol Lynn Motherfuckin Townes (also, Ollie and Jerry are the unsung geniuses of shitty pop music):<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This is technically a song from a soundtrack, although not the exact version… \u00a0No disrespect to the late great Whitney Houston, but this version of I Will Always Love You was recorded right after Dolly wrote it, so holds a particular poignancy. \u00a0That, and Dolly is magic. \u00a0(If you’re confused, the song was the hit from The Bodyguard soundtrack)<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aDqqm_gTPjc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"separator\" data-blogger-escaped-style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<p> <\/p>\n<p class=\"separator\" data-blogger-escaped-style=\"clear: both;\">Queen came out with this song rather late in their career right before they found out Freddie was sick. Along with his groundbreaking performance at Live Aid, it helped to resurrect their careers in America after they were banned from MTV due to a video they made in which all of them wore women’s clothing (I Want To Break Free). \u00a0In Britain, everyone could tell that it was a sly send-up of a popular television show, however, Americans, being the myopic literal-minded dolts that we are, were offended. I haven’t seen Iron Eagle since I was like seven, but this song never gets old (also, it’s got balls):<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-OGd4gplxQM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay;
