  "account": "10. \"Who Let the Dogs Out?\" (Baha Men): The repeated question \"Who let the dogs out?\" has plagued listeners since 2000. A proper response would be \"Shut your pie hole and leave us alone.\"\n\n9. \"Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?\" (Culture Club): Released in 1982, this song should have been avoided. Thank goodness for Boy George's later song \"We Will Dance,\" which supports Israel, the Jews and democracy.\n\n8. \"How Deep Is Your Love?\" (The Bee Gees): Composed in 1977, this song remains cheesy after 49 years. Pretend it's not cheesy to avoid ridicule.\n\n7. \"Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?\" (Rod Stewart): Asked by Rod Stewart in 1978, the answer is a resounding \"Definitely not.\"\n\n6. \"Should I Stay or Should I Go?\" (The Clash): Released in 1982, The Clash should have heeded this advice and left their aggressive Punk tune behind.\n\n5. \"Have You Ever Seen the Rain?\" (Creedence Clearwater Revival): This song, since 1970, has been interpreted in various ways. However, the band insists it's about their impending breakup.\n\n4. \"What Is Love?\" (Haddaway): Released in 1993, this song remains a blight on the airwaves. For an answer, consult a dictionary.\n\n3. \"Do You Know the Way to San Jose?\" (Dionne Warwick): The answer is simple – use Interstates 880 or 280. Thanks, Burt Bacharach.\n\n2. \"What's Love Got to Do with It?\" (Tina Turner): In 1984, Tina Turner asked this question. The answer is \"everything.\" A great performance, though.\n\n1. \"Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?\" (Queen's \"Bohemian Rhapsody\"): The meaning of this song is unclear. Refrain from asking philosophical questions; I'm no Socrates.",
