Bad Choices
When I was about 10 or 11, I had a 45 of Harry Nilsson's "The Rainmaker" which my brothers and I thought was just the greatest song. I can't find a Nilsson version of it on YouTube, but the song, in a speeded up tinny sounded version with some weird sounding instrumentation, is available in a version by Tom Northcott.
At some point, a friend of mine convinced me to trade him this 45 for a 45 he had. I really, really liked the band I trade for a lot more than Nilsson, but this song is one of my alltime least favorites, partly because I felt it was a bad trade pretty quickly and then we moved, and I couldn't get my record back.
