Even typing about this makes me gnash my teeth....
I nominate “Perfect” by Fairground Attraction.(circa 1988.)
One suspects the excruciatingly misnamed “ Fairground Attraction” would consider public beheadings at the top of the list of said attractions.
In this dirge’s tortuous search for a coupling in the chorus we are treated to :
"It's got to be-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e perfect,
It's got to be- e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e worth it “
The song then has the gall in the chorus to claim
“Too many people settle for second best,
Well I won’t settle for anything less
Its got be- e-e-e-e-e-e-e (yeah!) perfect !!!”
(For God ‘s sake you just settled for way worse than second best in your chorus you morons!!!)
Lyrically the chorus would not score well in a junior school test for 8 year olds…...
