On the Bubbling Under chart this week in 1995 is a song from an album designated the worst ever by Q magazine in 2006. Despite that, Lou Reed had said this remake was the best one ever made of one of his songs. From the covers album Thank You by Duran Duran, here's "Perfect Day"; down to #111 that week, it just missed the Hot 100 by peaking at #101.
As a bonus, here's the title track from Thank You, a Led Zeppelin cover which was previously released on the With Honors film soundtrack the year before.

Nada Surf's "Popular" wasn't very popular on the pop charts. On the August 24, 1996 Hot 100 Airplay chart, it dropped from #58 to #59 after hitting #51 in July, and on the Radio and Records pop chart that same week, it debuted at #50 but only climbed one notch higher to #49 the following week.
Fun fact: The music video was shot at Bayonne High School in my hometown of Bayonne, NJ.
