A second song that came up was Looks Like Rain by the Dead where the verse that includes street cats making love is just awful and hurts the whole song. Another song that came up is the Springsteen song Reno on Devils and Dust.
Does anyone else have a song that was damaged by one part that was out of kilter with the rest of the tune. Maybe they could not come up with some thing better or they were convinced of their own genius.

In regards to the Dead (whom I love), when Donna G. opens here mouth (73-78), its time to skip ahead. Also, "look like rain" makes me want to puke! Its on a short list of tunes that I just can't listen to.
