TOP contenders for worst records ever (November 11) must include I Am The Music Man, which is audience participation music of the worst kind.
Mr Blobby would also be there but being a kids' tune he is "excused boots" although that means the Tweenies, Timmy Mallett and the Teletubbies also escape - but have you noticed how all the artistes begin with the letter T?
Fast Food Rockers don't escape with that terrible Fast Food song. But the worst culprits can be found under the country file. Convoy by C W McCall was pretty bad, but the comedy version by Dave Lee Travis (aka Laurie Lingo And The Dipsticks) was even worse.
However the most vomit-inducing, gut-wrenching, tacky, sickly record I can remember - that people bought by the bucket load - was Teddy Bear by Red Sovine.
