Is that "Lovin You" the one where the girl sings "la la la la la la" and then does that high pitched "squeel"??? That's definately a song that makes me gag! When it was popular, my Mom used to say "they call that screechin' singing?" It's like nails on a chalk board!
Piel, I agree with you on most of your choices. Another one that I would add from that era is "Loving You" by Minnie Ripperton. I never liked that song and couldn't believe it made it to the top.
"Someone left the cake out in the rain.... I don't think that I can take it cuz it took so long to make it and I'll never have that recipe a-gaaaaaaain........(lots of howling here). Arggh. :sheesh:
Then there's those two note songs like "Seasons in the Sun" - it just sticks in your head like going to Disneyland and hearing "It's a Small World After All." (Help! Make it STOP!)
...'we had joy-we had fun- we had seasons in the sun-but the hills that we climbed were just..." (something-something-something.)
"Afternoon Delight" - Starland Vocal Band
"Oops I Did it Again" - Britney Ho Spears
"Torn Between Two Lovers" - Mary Somebody Forgettable
"The Joker" - Steve Miller
And who can forget that Ricky Martin tune made even more famous by our own beloved William Hung: "SHE BANGS"
Nothing could possibly be worse than Terry Jacks and that maudlin mess, "Seasons in the Sun." After the first verse I was screaming, "So, die already and put us out of YOUR misery!!!!"
Has anyone read Dave Barry's "Book of Bad Songs"? Most of the songs you've listed are mentioned, and it's laugh-out-loud funny from time to time.
Dan Hill - "Sometimes When We Touch" - My dad and I used to make really rude gagging noises whenever this came on the radio.
Bo Donaldson & the Heywoods - "Billy Don't be a Hero" - my best buddy from high school STILL sings this to see if she can make me go "ewww".
(~sings~) It's the songs that make you go ewww...
There are lots more, but it's early and time to get to work. Happy Friday, everybody!
