Hands down, though, the best “numeric” song is the supee-funky “1,2,3,4,5..” from Sesame Street.

James Hetfield’s goatee is absolutely disgusting. If women were to manicure themselves like that (if you know what i mean), there would be a lot of DISGUSTED (rightfully so) men (and women too) out there!!!





And a whole population of sexually frustrated women who deserved to be sexually frustrated!!!





Gross James, really gross!
