Chapter 198: No Rain

90s pop rock

The competition is fierce for the best worst line in these inventive but lyrically bewildering radio rock hits. Is it “Chickity China the Chinese chicken” from “One Week”? (There are twenty contenders in that song alone.) Or “Get What You Give”’s fashion shoot with Beck and Hanson? “Wannabe”’s story from A to Z? “Mr. Jones”’s claim that “If I knew Picasso, I would buy myself a gray guitar”??? It’s all poetry, but nothing beats Steven Tyler lapsing into an incoherent scream on the climax of my favorite Aerosmith song, “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing.”
