This week's blog includes several songs that do their creators no favours. world's tallest Graham Coxon's Song For the Sick is a petulant squib that would embarrass somebody half his age, and Get in the Ring by Guns N' Roses is the pathetic sound of megastars individually naming hostile critics. Several splenetic break-up songs, meanwhile, simply reek of misogyny. Article continues A special mention goes to Nick Cave's legendary B-side, Scum. It may be a petty assault on an erstwhile flatmate but the world's tallest insults are compellingly lurid: "He reminded me of some evil gnome/ Shaking hands was like shaking a hot, fat, oily bone." Ew. Carly Simon's You're So Vain, meanwhile, gets disqualified for presenting its target (rumoured to be Warren Beatty) as merely a charming cad rather than, say, an evil gnome.Several readers agree that nothing tops Shellac's Prayer to God for sheer malevolence.
