Many of us remember with fondness a summer day camp, counselors screaming at us, kids running, pushing, biting, being herded into small spaces for lunches, activities... okay maybe it's not so fun. But I'm sure you all remember with fondness the wonderful camp songs that 1000 other people sang at the top of their lungs, thus rendering any lyrics indecipherable. Well fear no more! Here, I present to you some of my favorite Horribly Annoying Song Lyrics. All you have to know are the tunes. I might post 'em in MIDI format later if I really want to waste my time. ^.^
