Challenge Day Sixteen. The One I Used to Love But Now I Hate.

This seems to be a song that I loved in my mind and built up to greatness, because once I heard it again, years later, I really wondered what had been wrong with me for the years I touted its awesomeness.  I heard it only one time on MTV's 120 Minutes, back when Dave Kendall was the producer (ha!  Remember him, Mom?), and something about it got into my head and turned it into something of brilliance.  The longer I went without hearing it, the more I craved it, but this was back before the days of being able to get a song out of the system with YouTube.  I talked about the freaky greatness of this song many times over the years and described the frogs and pyramids in the video--the weird chicken-redneck dance--and no one else seemed to have seen it or heard of it (maybe they didn't want to remember it).  About two months ago, I found it on YouTube, and I called my husband over: "Here's that song!  I finally found it!"  We waited for it to buffer itself up...and I was met with a complete WTH moment.   I apologize beforehand.
