Worst song on KROQ's 25 Most Requested Songs of All-Time (2006)

I fell into a
Burning ring of fire
Then they called an ambulance
To take me to the emergency room
Because I had third degrees burns

The thing is, at the point that they'd paved Paradise, it already WAS a parking lot, no further action required, except I guess to paint some lines.

unless she in fact meant "parking ramp" or "parkade"

in which case why would they need to pave it first, wouldn't they need to dig a foundation or something?

honestly the paving-&-putting-up-a-parking-lot thing has bothered me for YEARS

I feel like that song has been bait over the years for Xtian bands who want to cover or play secular music but can't find a song wholesome enough that it won't piss off their fanbase.

At a Hawaiian restaurant and Date Rape just came on lol.

Never get lei'd

Looking up some of the songs I don't recognize, I'm amazed at how many of them are completely lacking a melodic hook (Dramarama, Social Distortion) or even a chorus ("Brain Stew"). I guess they resonated with people solely on the basis of production & lyrical 'attitude'? (Cf. that recent paper on timbre as distinguishing mark for indie/alternative music)
