I guess suicide is out of the question?

I don't think so Koop! What about...

Suicide Is Painless (M.A.S.H)??

sure have been a lot of suicide songs...even more than these. Donno if they're painless, but they're definitely one-hit blunders.

Hey don't forget Hanson with Mmmmbop....I can just hear the groans now. :) I had to do it. BTW, Hanson is trying to make a comeback according to this morning's vh-1 broadcast. They have a new single/video entitled Penny and Me on their label 3CG. Only teeny boppers who loved them then would understand what their label name signifies. Anyway vh-1 called them "Rockstars" now and showed one of the guys smoking a cigarette. Be watching Vh-1 on April 12th for more on Hanson's comeback. Scary isn't it?
