7_"DO EVERYTHING," STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN | This is the one track that I couldn't bring myself to listen to three or four times for a proper review; the lyrics are obnoxiously overwritten, fake-funny and more than a little condescending toward homemakers, working stiffs, and just about everyone else. It's worth looking up on YouTube for the bizarre video, which shoots for comedy but winds up nightmarish.

- Mysteries of the Hot 100
