The
Power X Inspirational Thought of the Day
Yummy, yummy, yummy
I got love in my tummy and I feel like
a-lovin' you
Love, you're such a sweet thing, good
enough to eat thing
And it's just a-what I'm gonna do
Ooh love to hold ya, ooh love to kiss ya
Ooh love I love it so, oh love you're
sweeter
Sweeter than sugar
Ooh love, I won't let you go
Yummy, yummy, yummy
I got love in my tummy and as silly as
it may seem
The lovin' that you're giving is what
keeps me livin'
And your love is like peaches and cream

Yummy Yummy Yummy (I Got Love In My Tummy) by
The Ohio Express
Twenty years
ago, a humor columnist by the name of Dave Barry ran a poll to determine the
worst song that had ever existed. Now,
keeping in mind that this was well before the world was introduced to
Nickelback, Ke$ha, and Nikki Minaj, and Dave Barry’s audience skewed a bit
older, most of the songs included in the voting were oldies from the 60s and
70s, albeit no less terrible, once again proving that while good music might be
by and large a 20th Century thing, awful music is in no way limited
to the 21st.
It should be
noted that “Yummy Yummy Yummy” didn’t even WIN the worst song ever contest, it
came in third, behind “MacArthur Park” by Richard Harris (that’s the song about
leaving the cake out in the rain), and Neil Sedaka’s gloriously epic “You’re
Having My Baby.” The point is sometimes, it’s fun to go back
and look at the bad and laugh, as well as appreciating the good. I’d like to say something profound like ‘it
helps you appreciate the fact that you can’t have a ceiling without a floor’,
but it’s probably more because humans are visceral creatures who like to laugh
at the suck.
So as the
Power X begins its contribution to FFW’s month long fifth anniversary
celebration, we start where any good Power X starts- at the bottom. And it helps to remember that success in FFW
is no easy task. For every Scarlett
Kincaid, there’s a Danielle Deathstrike, and for every Wendy Briese there’s an
Ariel Shadows. Its tough to make it
around here. And of the 251 women that
have signed up and competed in an FFW match in an official capacity, 62 came
and went without recording a single victory ever. Many are forgettable, one and doners that
realized how over their heads they were, and disappeared as quietly as they
came. Others, well, whether their stay
was short or long, were determined to make their failures as spectacular as
possible.
It’s that
last group we pay homage tonight. Every
single woman here is no longer on the FFW Roster, and every single woman here
failed to win a single match during their tenure here. Therefore, you won’t be seeing the likes of
Michelle Taylor and Charity Deas, for as hopeless as they were, they actually
managed to get a tally in a win column.
Which says something, really. Faith,
Michelle Taylor and Charity Deas could win in FFW, and yet these couldn’t?
So sit back,
relax, and take a trip down memory lane, for the Power X’s 20 Worst FFW
Wrestlers Ever.
