Jay & Scott’s Terrible Tune Tuesday Tunes [Video]

Jay and I started "Terrible Tune Tuesday" (TTT) last summer, and it continues to grow in popularity.

Several listeners have asked us to document are selections each week.

A great idea from our listeners, and one that becomes implemented right now. Last Tuesday, Jay selected Feelings, by Morris Albert.

Without question, it's a terrible tune, one befitting of a TTT selection.

A little known fact about this monstrosity, it was plagiarized.Loulou Gasté, a french song writer, sued Albert, citing the similarity from his 1957 song Pour Toi. As a result of winning the suit, Gasté receives 88% of all royalties from the song.

Usually when you sing a terrible tune, you'd like to make big bucks off it. Albert can't even claim that.

My selection was an worldwide hit that reached #1 in 25 countries back in 1987. While it was largely forgotten for awhile, it made a giant comeback in 2008 after it somehow, by hook or crook, became an internet meme.

Have you ever been Rickrolled? Rick Astley's hit, Never Gonna Give You Up, found new life 7 years ago when people everywhere would send the YouTube video to their friends. The catch was they'd convince their subject the link was something important. After clicking on it, they'd be redirected to the music video. This practice is known as Rickrolling.

I won't rickroll you, but I will include the YouTube video below for your listening pleasure pain. The one below has been watched over 102 million times on YouTube. That's a lot of Rickrolling. You're welcome.

According to multiple report, Astley has only received $12 in royalties from all the YouTube viewings. The man can't even make good money off of Rickrolling. Hopefully he can get a good laugh out of it. I know we have.
