Every decade gives us crappy songs and the 80’s probably gave us one of the worst songs I have ever heard. I find it amazing that this song actually received steady rotation on MTV. What is the song you ask? It is “Fish Heads” by Barnes & Barnes.
Now I think the song actually came out in 1978 and was a favorite of Dr. Demento’s radio show, but that doesn’t help its case for me. Even knowing that actor, Bill Paxton, was the appeared in the video still doesn’t help. I think I saw somewhere he was also the director. That just makes me think less of Bill Paxton (that and Twister didn’t help).
I know this was a comedy bit, but it is so gawd awful. I can’t find one redeeming thing about this song. Maybe I am too dense to be in on the joke. See what you think and if you don’t die from a brain hemorrhage, let me know your thoughts.
