Recently I heard Eddie Money’s “Two Tickets to Paradise”<\/strong> on Classic Rock radio 2 days in a row. It’s not close to the worst song ever, but it has no business ever being broadcast on the public airwaves again. It doesn’t add anything to our lives that Money’s first single, “Baby Hold On,” didn’t deliver. It’s not even a song we can take pleasure in disliking. It’s just there, like a piece of dried gum on a crowded city sidewalk. If some station’s got to play Eddie Money, isn’t “Baby Hold On” a slightly less relevant song? I hereby move that the record industry melt the master tapes of “Two Tickets to Paradise” and recall all vinyl and digital copies in circulation. There’s no point in anyone needing to hear that song again. <\/p>\n

What do you say? What completely irrelevant song<\/strong> would you move to have deleted from public airplay – and recalled from private collections?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
