I had a theory this morning whilst driving to work and listening to the radio. It's quite simple:

1) All great bands or music artists, no matter how talented, have had one truly pants [1] song, and...

2) That pants [1] song is their most popular song. [2]


In evidence, off the top of my head, I offer:

- The Cure, "Friday, I'm In Love"
- Bjork, "It's So Quiet"
- Cake, "I Will Survive"

And so on. So, over to you. What truly pants [1] song has your favourite band done, which has inexplicably been their most popular?

[1] "pants" in the UK vernacular, meaning lame, naff or awful
[2] There's often a third rule - the band refuses to perform the song at their live performances, because they hate it so much.
