Why he might be annoying:

Hoagland?
He described his 1951 gig at the London Palladium as such: 'I wore my hat on the back of my head and no tie, with a cigarette drooping from my lips, and I lazied through the entire performance.'
He has a Guinness Book of World Records entry for the longest song title to make the charts: 'I'm a Cranky Old Yank in a Clanky Old Tank on the Streets of Yokohama with my Honolulu Mama Doing Those Beat-o, Beat-o, Flat on my Seat-o Hirohito Blues' (1946).
He said of hearing a recording of his song 'Stardust:' 'And then it happened--that queer sensation that this melody was bigger than me. Maybe I hadn't written it at all. I wanted to shout back at it, 'maybe I didn't write you, but I found you.'

Why he might not be annoying:

He played piano in several college bands while attending Indiana University.
He gave up a law practice to become a songwriter.
He won an Oscar for 'In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening' (1951).
He played himself on an episode of 'The Flintstones' (1961).
He has a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame.
