I always liked Weird Al's parody of Rico Suave which was called "Taco Grande".

Rico Suave commits what I consider a cardinal sin of pop music - he's named in his own song. It's vain, it's cheesy, it's shameless, it's dumb. The hallmark of crap.

His name's Gerardo, isn't it?

I haven't heard the song in a while, but it's by Gerardo.  I can't watch your link, due to stupid Dial-Up I have.
"The path to Heaven runs through miles of clouded Hell."

You're right. My mistake. I always assumed he went by the handle "Rico Suave." I wasn't exactly a fan, so I barely remember the guy, except for the line "Rico....Suave."

That said, naming yourself in your own song is still a cardinal sin of pop music. We can probably come up with plenty of examples.

Now Stryper are awesome, "To Hell With The Devil" is an awesome album, but "Honestly" makes me want to puke over and over  :bluesad:

It's a fairly cheesy song.  I think I have it on a mix cd somewhere.  My favorite thing about it was Gerardo appearing in Pauly Shore's self-written movie Pauly Shore is Dead.  In it, Pauly, upset over not being an MTV star anymore, decides to fake his own death.  In one scene, he is driving along one of LA's highways, and encounters Gerardo selling oranges on the sidewalk to earn a living.  Pauly's just like, "Rico Suave, what are you doing?  It's me, Pauly." :teddyr:

Sure, the songs listed here are annoying because they actually get played on the radio and we're forced to listen to them... but there's much, much worse out there.

How about a cut from Fabio's album?

OK, I was in the hardware store this morning, and this atrocity came on. Don't recall if it's been posted yet.

My best friend is a massive KISS fan and he actually defends that album. He said that he thinks that some of their more underrated makeup era material is on that album. Go figure.

Aww poo, you were right DS  :teddyr:
I understand though, Europe fall very heavily into the "wimp-rock" category

No this I strongly disagree with, if it wasn't Kiss doing this song then I'm sure it wouldn't be on here. Granted, it was very "un-kisslike", but I think it's a good song and I do like the Elder, it's not a favourite album of mine, but it is something different from what Kiss were known for. Saying that though, my favourite Kiss album is "unmasked", so I don' tsuppose anyone's gonna take me seriously.  :bouncegiggle:
