I bet you most of the posters here know the words to almost every song listed on this post, whether they will admit to it or not!!

I'm sure. LOL

And much like them, America. I also like some southern rock, like The Outlaws and Pure Prairie League and Marshall Tucker. At least, some of there stuff.

Actually, I think Doug and Geoffrey Fieger are brothers. Could you imagine trying to raise those two in the same household?

Anyway,..GET THE KNACK, and send Geoffrey packing!

By the way, after reading every post on this thread, I have to change my worst song ever to Minnie Ripperton's "Loving You." I'd forgotten that abomination. Thanks to whoever first mentioned it on this board.

Hey, I liked Relax.

It is catchy, but ... umm... highly suggestive in a gay kind of way...

How high did "My Sharona" by The Knack get

It got to No. 1 for six weeks in 1979.

[Khurkris]

now thats truly poetic!

"the most virulent feelings of outrage".

Really?? More intensely, virulently negative than say, oh, "CHERISH", everyone's (from the 70's & 80's, at least) prom song... Blech.

The End of The World As We Know It is a personal favorite. My wife likes it too as it's one of very few songs I won't try to sing in the car.

That is a terrific song. I learned the lyrics to it a while ago, so I can wow people by singing along with it. One of those great stupid human tricks!

"prom song" - That is funny!!

Auntbee, in this competition there are no winners. Only survivors. :)

Me, too.

[Auntbee]

That is true.

My HS's prom theme song was "Lost in your Eyes" by Debbie Gibson.

[Larry Lucido]

To continue:

KRAMER: 51 people died.

GEORGE: 51 people?!

KRAMER: That's it?! I thought it was, like, a thousand!

KRAMER: There were 1,650 survivors.

GEORGE: That's no tragedy! How many people do you lose on a normal cruse? 30? 40?!

My prom, in 1974, was "Color My World" by Chicago.

[StrictTime]

YOU ARE SO WRONG!

The B-52's are one of the most innovative, humorous, light-hearted, dance-a-licious bands to come out of the American New Wave scene. And anyone who thinks differently is a NERDO. So THERE! :)

[MotleyGirl70]

Well look on the "bright side" it could have been something from New Kids on the Block.

[StrictTime]

And the winner is: "If you like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain ... "

WE HAVE A WINNER!

Aunt Bee.

I always had the hots for Aunt Bea and watched the Andy Griffith Show just to see her.

Her and Ann B. Davis from the Brady Bunch were the two sexiest women on TV at the time.

My prom, in 1974, was "Color My World" by Chicago.

"Color My World" was my junior prom song in 1975. For my senior prom it was Jim Croce's "Time in a Bottle." Somewhere I think I still have the hourglass tchotchke we got for that.
