OLD TIME ROCK N' ROLL!!!!!!!

ARRRRRRRRRRGUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Robbie Bossert

What's that song,"On the south side of Chicago, in the baddest part of town,,," Oh yeah! "Leroy Brown." Now, I really HATE that song!

'Brown Eyed Girl' is another that will have me considering an overdose.

'Five 'o Clock Somewhere' with that pretentious spoken outro - YIKES!!! Another Jackson single that almost defies description is that 'Work In Progress'. he's written some fine songs, but this ain't one of them.

This thread has great potential, methinks.

By the way, my compliments on the thread's title - I love it!!! 'Ghastly' is one of my favourite words.

RR

anything by shania twain

Any songs with the guy who sang high tenor parts for the Statler Brothers and that falsetto tenor guy who sang for Frankie Vallie (sp?). There's never a razor blade when I need it!

How bout "...Feelings, woe woe woe feelings, trying to forget my feelings of love..." (Whoops, somebody already mentioned that on the first page. I better pay more attention--I would pay more attention but I'm broke this month)<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Dave White on 16 May 2006 at 04:59 PM.]</p></FONT>

"Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, JolleeeEEEnn ! "

Just shoot me in the head !

<SMALL>they would soon stop dumping their bedroom mistakes on the public school system. Can you say r-e-s-p-o-n-s-i-b-i-l-i-t-y?</SMALL>

I had those kids and by gum, that school's gonna raise 'em! I can drop 'em off at 6:30 and pick 'em up after work at 6:30! Why, I barely have to talk to 'em at all by time we get home, give 'em a TV dinner and off to bed!

Now, can we get them to stay open on the weekends?


==============================

Oh, the Ghastly: How about "This Was My Love" Frank Sinatra, on an otherwise wonderful collection of prime '50's era stuff? Sometimes those "bonus tracks" are really "outtakes" and they were for a reason!<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by John McGann on 21 May 2006 at 06:50 AM.]</p></FONT>

I'm downloading all the songs mentioned here and burnin some CD's to send to each of you. Enjoy!

58 replies and nobody's gotten to "Muskrat Love" or "Afternoon Delight?" Slackers....

If working or on leisure I only listen to what I want. Many times I prefer silence, or talk radio. Some work environments have the radio on for the entire day. I can not handle this. Fortunately, I work alone. In the garage the mechanic's radio can be turned off with a light switch at the front. If no one's in there I shut it off while saying, "SHUT UP!" in the process. Other times the mechanic caught me and a confrontation ensues, or he looks at me through the corner of his eyes and I switch it back on.

I'll bet any one of us would love to have the publishing on some of these gems...

Anything by Lobo

Ben-you really bummed me out by bringing this up:

""Lovin' You" by Minnie Riperton could whip everything listed above this post with one falsetto moan tied behind its back."

That may be my single MOST HATED song of all time.

I also agree with "Bad,Bad, Leroy Brown"

Anything Jim Croce did that was any good was negated by that swill.

I'm sure he cleaned up on the royalty checks, but "Joy to the World" ("Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog"), was the absolute low point of an otherwise strong career of songwriting from Hoyt Axton. I might have a completely different image of Three Dog Night if it weren't for that song.

Sheena Easton anyone?
Wasn't "Feelings" by Maurice Alberts...?<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Ray Minich on 23 May 2006 at 02:09 PM.]</p></FONT>

Ray, I have to disagree on Sheena Easton. I think she's a heck of a singer... but she was limited by some dopey material. And then she got mixed up with Prince...

Johnny Rivers usually makes me feel a little queasy.

Anything by Billy Joel. After seeing the video for 'Uptown Girl' I said "Enough is enough!" The very sight of those mechanics swinging their wrenches in time with the music and singing 'Ah Ah Ah Ah'... well, I knew my days of listening to top forty pop music were numbered. Or how about the song 'Movin'Out?' Every time I heard 'Ack Ack Ack Ack' I wanted to throw a tantrum.

"Every time I heard 'Ack Ack Ack Ack' I wanted to throw a tantrum."

Yeah, really...what the heck WAS that all about?

What could he have possibly been thinking?

Oh well, at least he was married to Christie Brinkley for awhile. He gets some major points for that!

Rick, you made my day.... I've worked for Rivers on & off now for 30+ years.
Thanks for the chuckle....

How about "Torn Between Two Lovers" MAKE ME PUKE

Roger Rettig- A lot more.. and a litt less.... wasn't that the Kentucky Hairdressers?

Shania. Somebody called her "Nashville's most talented lap dancer."

I doubt it.

"Drinking up the future, and living down the past"--unknown singer in Phoenix

Skip, I don't think I'll say anything else. Thanks for being a good sport.

Oh well a bird bird bird.
Bird is a word.
Oh well a bird bird bird.
Bird is a word.
Oh well a bird bird bird.
Bird is a word.
Oh well a bird bird bird.
Bird is a word.
Well don’t you know about the bird?
Everybody knows that bird is a word.
Oh well a bird bird bird.
Bird is a word.
Oh well a bird bird bird.
Bird is a word.
