Country, but not as we know it. Written by Vietnam vet Don “Pickle Puss” Von Tress in the style of a brain-dead “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Achy Breaky Heart” represented every prejudice non-believers have about country: It was trite, it was inane, it was big in trailer parks and it was thoroughly enjoyed by the obese. Strangely, it was covered by Bruce Springsteen, with slightly less irony than you might imagine; still, this does not make it good.
Worst Moment An instrumental break that single-handedly rejuvenated the line-dancing fad.

Dear god, who can forget this piece of work. I remember doing line-dancing in junior high to this tune, our gym teacher put this on a loop with "Cadillac Ranch", we probably heard this song about 100 times (no lie) while we were practising slap leather.
Wow, that was a horrible recollection.
