Top 5 Songs Artists Wish They Could Get A "Do-Over" On
5) Vanilla Ice - "Ninja Rap": When I was 10, this song was cool. Now, its pretty awful. I'm sure Vanilla knew it was awful back in '91 as well, but money talks. But you know, in the grand scheme of things, this was Vanilla Ice's 3rd largest hit. Doesn't say much for his career.
4) Eddie Murphy - "Party All The Time": Now I'm sure everyone is thinking, "Terence, Eddie Murphy can't sing, why is he considered an artist." Eddie can blow. He's done some singing on SNL and I'm sure we've all see Shrek. But this...this track is just pure garbage. I love that Rick James some how managed to keep his invovlement on this track pretty low profile. It's not completely Eddie's fault this track is so bad.
3) Prince - "BatDance": Prince is weird. That's a given. The song and related video took the purple one's weirdness to whole new level.
2) The Ramones - "Pet Semetary": I think I'm the first person on the Internet in about four years to even mention this song. Talk about sweeping one under the rug.
1) Run-DMC - "Ghostbusters": This song single handedly cost Run DMC any and all "street cred" they had. After they recorded this track they were seen as "sell-outs" by the hip-hop community.
(Note to all artists: Stay away from movie soundtracks.)

K so you're probably going to kick me in the head, but I never knew that Run-DMC did "Ghostbusters!"
Also...I like your Top 5 Soups...you just can't beat good ol' Chicken Noodle!
Its okay, most people don't know they did it either. Mostly becase their version was only in Ghostbusters II. Ray Parker Jr. did the original version (which gets airtime in the sequel as well), but Run-DMC's version (along w/ Bobby Brown's "On Our Own") was the official theme song for the film.
However, this wouldn't be the only time that Run-DMC "sold out." A little more than a decade later they also did a cover of the D-Generation X theme song for the 2000 WWF Aggression CD.
The more you know...
