Are you thinking ‘Smoke Gets In Your Eyes’?

The kind thing to do here would be to ask the mods to add to your title “Update at #108”.

I really don’t feel like plowing through 100+ responses to see if anyone posted this, but I think (seriously) this might be what you’re looking for.

"Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" has the verb "deride" in it.

I challenge you to name any other song that has the verb "deride" in it.

Probably “Rubber Biscuit” by The Chips.

“You snipe so steady, you snub so snide

So ripe and ready to diminish and deride

Oh you’re so quick to condescend my opinionated friend

All you deface, all you defend is just a borderline

Just a borderline, another borderline, just a borderline”

Very, very good.

I actually didn't think there were any songs with "deride" in them.

Happy to be shown the error of my ways!

If you had qualified your challenge by excluding obscure songs nobody ever heard of, you’d have been right. :)

In 1984 I was the administrator for the cal youth authority training academy. After one orientation we were approached by one of the trainees Guillermo Garcia. He asked if we recognized his name. I said, sorry, no.

He said what about willie g and the midnighters. I immediately said yes.

He said, I’m willie g. Gave us all a copy of a disc of their biggest hits.

I notice in the 90s he and the band got back together.
