The Worst Song at the Gym
I like to workout efficiently, so I don’t spend a lot of time idle in the gym. So, I don’t really tune into the muzak being pumped out (I don’t bring an mp3 player because they too easily get in the way on certain exercises).
But there’s one song that always cuts through my intensity, and it is that awful Avril Lavigne song ‘Hey You (I want to be your girlfriend)’ or whatever the title is. Seriously, this thing was popular at some point? It’s almost embarassing to hear. The only time it is ever close to being good is when it was mashed up with ‘Walk it Out’ and the far superior, earlier version of the same song ‘Mickey You’re So Fine’ (find it on the Best of Bootie 2007 cd, an excellent mashup project: http://www.soop.ca/bootie/bestofbootie2007/17%20-%20Lobsterdust%20-%20Walkin%27%20Out%2

I would have to concur with your musical selection.
