Music you LOVE to HATE!

[rock hound]

For my final insult to music lovers everywhere....this little chestnut.  From a very cheesy movie, a very cheesy song.  Sung by the daughter of crooner Pat Boone.  This masterpiece of schlock, imho, holds the record for over exposure, overplayed and just plain done to death.  From the 70's...if people don't remember it........your lucky.  A major "hit" on the radio in that primitive pre-internet era.  Any radio station would play it over and over again and..if memory serves, one dj and station with a sick sense of humor did play it nonstop as a quasi protest against it for a 24 hour period.   Memory fails as to those names.  Anyway, hope your insulin shots are in order...cause here it comes.

*shudders*
I remember that.

I'll stick with the current loop.

Whenever I see duelling Banjos I think of you, Icequeen

Nothing personal, but, keep your feud out of my thread.  Puhleeze and thank you!

Who remembers this one?



The 80's were scary.

[Minister Of Silly Walks]

The first time I went to Austria my girlfriend at the time warned me while we were still on the train "it's still the 80s in Austria".

I thought this was a figure of speech or something... this was in 2002 after all... but I realized what she meant when we got there. The radio stations were all still playing 80s music. The lake resort in the mountains we stayed in was mostly closed down for the winter but there was a cafe and a restaurant still open and they both played 80s music. It was weird but kinda nice, I love 80s music even though most of it is ostensibly crap.

They used to say "it's still the 80's...somewhere". I guess somewhere is Austria.

I need to get back to Austria and find out what decade it is now.

Now there's a painful flashback. 

Two of my grandfather's nephews used to come in from Detroit every summer...after about 5 drinks, that was one of the songs they would sing.

I do actually like it but I do have a love hate for it because I have seen the rest of the movie and .....fuck.... but I also think of rednecks (it optimises the very worse stereotypes). When I think of rednecks...ah well doesn't matter. Do have a love hate relationship with the song

In the Dave Barry book, "Book of Bad Songs."  This particular song was in the chapter..Songs women hate.  And it's obvious why!

[rock hound]

This tune was a hit back in the 60's on Pop radio.  I hadn't heard it in decades......I don't understand why.....   Anywho, I was working out on the floor in walmart and lo and behold...this came on.  I thought they must be dredging the bottom of the barrel for stuff.  But, as it went on, and the song reaches the lyrics, "I felt a knife in my hand....", the tune stopped and another came on.  The end of the sentence was..."and she laughed no more."   hhhmmmmm, somebody at walmart radio must have been asleep at the wheel. 



 Why this tune is still around, I can only guess that there are others like it out there.

What was the fascination with Tom Jones anyways?

My mother said it was the tight pants.

Here we go:

Yeah, he became legendary in the crooners circuit.  Older women would throw their panties at him as he performed and pray that he would kiss them.     He was a big deal in his day.

My ex shagged him a couple of times when he was 57 and she was 17. Sounds like Tom Jones would fit in well around here.
