Seasons in the Sun" by Terry Jacks makes one want to reach into the radio and choke out the singer! 
Hear! Hear! What a whiny douche Terry Jacks was! The prototypical Emo. You know, he made that song seem even more smarmy than it was, by making it sound like it's about somebody with a terminal illness. The verses he left out (I heard an older version by the Kingston Trio from the early 60s - it's an old French folk song), make it clear that the song is from the point of view of a guy who stole his best friend's girl and now lies dying after a duel.
I always hated The Night Chicago Died, Billy Don't be a Hero, Run Joey Run, Beach Baby and Peggy Lee's: Is That All There Is, too.
