5 hit songs that were almost not released

5.  Satisfaction – Rolling Stones

4.  Kiss – Prince

3.  Sweet Dreams – Eurhythmics

2.  What’s Going On – Marvin Gaye

1.  Billie Jean – Michael Jackson

I can’t imagine a world without Billie Jean and the sidewalk that lights up.  But maybe that is just me.

The question I asked myself is, what hit songs do I wish were never released?

5.  Girl You Know It’s True – Milli Vinilli.

Is there any explanatin needed for this?

4.  Greatest Love of All – Whitney Houston.  

Really, the greatest love is learning to love yourself?  That is what she is going with?  What happened to you Whitney?

3.  Macarena – Los del Rio.

Ugh.  Did you realize that there are 12 official versions of this song?  “Heeeey, Macarena!”  No, Macarena.

2.  Hangin’ Tough – New Kids on the Block.

If there is one thing I associate New Kids with, it is being tough.  Real tough.

1.  Achy Breaky Heart – Billy Ray Cyrus.  I was already tired of this song before Hannah Montana, but seeing him again for the last few years has put it over the top for me.

Any other suggestions?
