Disgruntled of Belfast

[altariel]

Via the BBC website, we learn that Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da has been voted the worst song ever in an online poll.

Allister of Belfast notes: "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da isn't even the worst Beatles song. It isn't even the worst song on the White album."

Dan of Essex points out: "I saw an album by William Shatner in a record shop yesterday and track one was a cover of Common People by Pulp. Until Jim Davidson covers Ghost Town, this has to go down as the greatest travesty in the history of pop music."

But don't you somehow want to hear it?

Thank you! That was a ... most interesting experience, to put it mildly. One should really start reenacting this video clip at a fan convention -- fake rubber ears, inane girls and bad choreography all inclusive. I wonder whether the producers of this gem might have had a little weed too much. It would certainly explain a lot. :)

I am very honoured to have contributed in this way to your cultural edification!

Which kind of convention, though? Tolkien or Trek?

[aervir.livejournal.com]

Both. :D I thought more of a Tolkien convention, however, as I do not belong to the Star Trek fandom. But the level of geekiness at both kinds of events would probably be high enough!

Or, a crossover con. Maximum geekery!

Crossover cons like crossover icons? You could even use your prosthetic ears twice... (Although I am not a Trekkie, I find Mr. Spock somehow cool.)

Hehehe!
