2. Got to be "What a drag it is getting old...Rolling Stones Mother's Little Helper

3. I never got the point of the Jeremiah line. It never made sense to me.
The one anti-song that I just cannot stand and feel makes absolutely no sense is the 1964 atrocity "The Name Game." I think it is nothing more than a psychotic word salad and hearing that atrocity does terrible things to me. I just cannot listen to it.

4. I never understood that Jeremiah line and never thought it was relevant or made any sense. The song was okay, but I felt Jeremiah the bullfrog was extraneous.
One anti-song that I just absolutely abhor and just cannot listen to is the 1964 atrocity "The Name Game." It makes absolutely no sense and sounds like a psychotic word salad. I would never wish "The Name Game" on anyone, not even Charles Manson or Hitler!
