Schadenfreude
by Steve West on May 29, 2008

Just As I Suspected...
A panel of experts (a group of listeners to Britain's BBC 6) have determined the worst duet in history. Obviously this group has no credentials or necessarily any credibility and history is such a long time. But that's a pretty good vote if schmaltz makes a song bad. Go »

I just don't know.
