Most songs that I don't like I either haven't listened to or have forgotten (the former because of a certain 'choosiness' and the latter because I don't like these songs). Here's one that was a real disappointment that I happen to remember:
"Yertle the Turtle", by Red Hot Chilli Peppers, from their album "Freaky Styley".
With lyrics from one of my favourite of children's works - a poem of the same name by Dr.Seuss, this song was an insult - nothing less, perhaps more. I shall forever wish I had never come across this wild desecration.
I say no more, for one of the two lessons I learnt from Dale Carnegie is to not say anything at all if you can't say something good (the other, which is due to Hattori Hanzo, I believe, goes something like this).
And by the way, the first time I came across Yertle was in a traditional problem at the Informatics Olympiad Training Camp.
