"Terrible" Songs

If you take my blog post titles at face value, you might consider me to be a pathological liar. If you delve deeper, though, the picture becomes a little clearer. Case in point, this post. These are not terrible songs, per se, at least not in the sense of their content or quality. They are, however, songs with the word "Terrible" somewhere in their titles. This is part 1 of a 2-part "Opposites" series. The 2nd and final installment will consist of "Wonderful" songs. Enjoy?  ~  JH
