Jump the Shark !
As some of you know, "jump the shark" refers to the exact moment when Fonzie did just that and 'Happy Days' went downhill right afterwards. Movies, bands, books, etc. all do it eventually where some dopey stunt forever ruins any credibility or integrity.
My first jump the shark complaint: Slim Whitman's 'Ghostriders In the Sky'. Always loved the tune by other artists and I've been listening to him for the last few days (hey ! the guy's voice saved the world in 'Mars Attacks !'), but I just can't get over this bad 70's 'Convoy' wannabe, over reverberated, disco styled, violin ladened catastrophe. I'm sure everything else after this point in his career is equally bad if not worse. argh !
