This is sort of a best of the worst poll. I think I got them all. I voted for Benny the Bouncer. The music is great and it's actually funny at times. ------------- My recent purchases:

None. I always feel that these songs take away from the feel of their albums

The point is that there's nothing funny about them. Unfortunately, ELP thought they were funny. As I said above, though, I think Benny the Bouncer is funny, but the others I can do without. Especially Are You Ready Eddy! ------------- My recent purchases:

| How can a song with "he'd cut your granny's face off given half the chance" NOT be funny? |
