cheers and jeers
Bat Boy: the Musical gets two thumbs up, plus a bit extra for rhyming "Othello" with "Elvis Costello" in the scene where Bat Boy absorbs the totality of Western culture.
"Honey," words and music by Bobby Russell, is handily the worst song ever recorded. The lyrics give some idea of its ineffable badness, but it is truly pushed into the sublime by the irritating tune and vocalist's tone of voice and the schmaltzy choir that enters in verse three, when Honey goes to her eternal reward.
