If you would take this song to the grave and actually remove it from existance on Earth, the gesture would be Christ-like.

Consider it my gift to humanity.

For that matter, just drop whatever cheesy 80's or 90's pop in my casket that you wish to get rid of and I will be a happy corpse for eternity.

Just because it sucks doesn't mean it is not good!

Now that is a list!

GottaLetitgo said:

Um, yeah it does.

Nomad said:

Good one.

I have a joke for you.

Bono dies and he finds himself in a room with John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Jaco Pastorius, and on and on. He says "I made it to Rock and Roll heaven!"

Jimi snickers and says "Heaven?" as Karen Carpenter sits down at drums and calls out "Close to You! 1 2 3 4!
