Daddy Dewdrop! Bo Donaldson and The Heywoods! Paper Lace! The Original Caste! The Royal Guardsmen! Rick Dees! The Captain and Tennille! And many more! All together you get 25 original hits by the original artists on two jam-packed LPs or one long playing 8-track! Act now, send your entire wallet to PO Box 5170, Grand Michids, Rapigan. 90051! ORDER TODAY! ... The Yahoo Group knows that this may read like a parody, but K-tel actually put out loads of albums filled with bad music just like this, and even advertised them as such. Poster Comment: Also at AoS yesterday: 
Stupid Hits of the 70s! Announcing a new collection of all of the songs that you knew and loved, yet can't quite believe were hits! You'll get The Bouys!
That's right, this album contains songs so bad, they're good! "How on earth did these songs become hits?" you'll ask yourself. We don't know, but we do know you remember Zager and Evans!

Who could forget this inspiring top 40 gem:
Inspiring? One-hit wonders Bloodrock improbably scored a Top 40 hit with a gruesome, eight-and-a-half minute, first-person account of dying. The hard rockers' music resembles a British ambulance siren and the lyrics describe the gory aftermath of a plane crash as a man is tended to by an EMT. He feels "something warm flowing down [his] fingers," he tries to move his arm but when he looks he sees "there's nothing there." He looks for his girlfriend, and sees her face covered in blood as she looks off distantly. By the end, he offers this couplet: "The sheets are red and moist where I'm lying/God in Heaven, teach me how to die." It ends with the sound of American sirens. "I guess maybe just the whole thing as a package [music and lyrics] is what freaked people out, and on top of that the sirens," keyboardist Steve Hill said in a 2010 interview. "The FCC banned 'D.O.A.' A lot of stations didn't play that because people were pulling over in their cars because they thought there was an ambulance behind them." At least as "inspiring" as Timothy was
I thought it might be obvious that I used the word "inspiring" in a sardonic kind of way.
