“Do The Bartman” has been named by VH1 UK as one of the top 40 worst #1 singles of all time. The song which peaked at #11 on the US charts spent three weeks at #1 in the UK in February 1991. In the special which aired on VH1 over the weekend, Do The Bartman was selected as #36 on the novelty chart. Charting before it were Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby,” Chef’s “Chocolate Salty Balls,” while songs considered worse than Bartman included “Tragedy” by Steps, “Barbie Girl” by Aqua, “Star Trekkin” by The Firm, and “Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini” by Bombalurina. It’s a little known fact that Michael Jackson penned the Bart classic which remains a favourite with Simpsons fans worldwide. Thanks to George Cauldron at the No Homers Club for the news in an otherwise slow news week.
