It was pretty disgusting. Of the current songs, "Like a Virgin" by Madonna has to be pretty close to the worst. When I was in San Diego recently, the local "new music" station (91X) was playing a remake by The Lords of the New Church. It had basically the same instrumentals, but the vocals were hilarious; the lead singer "dressed up" exactly the same lyrics by making his voice sound ultra-sleazy (come to think of it, Madonna does that pretty well on her own, but this guy sounded like the usual drunken slob...) At Christmas time, 91X was playing an anonymous song with the lines "My girl is red-hot/ Your girl ain't diddley-squat," which sounded like a L.o.t.N.C. song, and it was mighty bad. Ann Muir-Thomas
