Uh-oh .. I'm in trouble now. I am forced to counter with "Queen of the Night", from the "Bodyguard" soundtrack, Whitney Houston.

Sweating now ... ;)

[Auntbee]

Okay you guys. You've gone too far. Celine Dion?? EEEWWWW!

[MotleyGirl70]

This has to be at the top of the list somewhere.

Sunglasses at Night by Cory Hart

...cause you got it made with the guy in shades oh no. I said: I wear my sunglasses at night. I wear my sunglasses at night I wear my sunglasses at night. I'll say it to you now: I wear my sunglasses at night

...I wear my sunglasses at night I wear my sunglasses at night. I cry to you: I wear my sunglasses at night. I wear my sunglasses at night

[TheBigB]

I can't believe you're busting out songs I love! Next thing you know, you'll be bringing up "Missing You" by John Waite or "Gold" by Spandau Ballet. :)

[Colonel_Flagg]

Hey, I'm innocent! He put up Celine Dion :)

(is this where I suggest "The Power Of Lurrrrve"?)

[Colonel_Flagg]

Serious one-shot. And I think you're right. :)

[TheBigB]

Corey Hart actaully hit the Top 10 again with "Never Surrender." I should know. I have both of the 45s. :^)

[Colonel_Flagg]

Well, I guess my Corey Hart quotient is a little low. I freely admit it.

Doesn't seem to have hurt me much in later life, though :)

[TheBigB]

Aaaand I go in for the kill with the piece de resistance (French, meaning "piece of resistance")

[Freedom4US]

"Little dittie, 'bout Jack and Diaa-ane.. Two 'Merkun kidz doon the bess they can..

John Cougar Melonhead.

[South40]

That's probably one of Ritter's favorites also.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Yaaaaaah! My eyes! :)

You leave me no choice. Flashdance, Irene Cara.

He says, cringing ..

[StrictTime]

I hate it when that Tripod thingy happens...OK, here:

StrictTime's nomination for worst hit single EVER:

[Colonel_Flagg]

Oooh. Now there's one I hadn't thought of. The list of bad Mellowcrap songs is nearly endless. :)

My nomination: "I sing six words and say 'Small Town'."

[Auntbee]

Don't know if this has been mentioned: "Take A Letter Maria"

[Colonel_Flagg]

I think not. Wouldn't want that one to escape. :)

[TheBigB]

I LOVE THAT SONG! WHO SINGS IT??

I've heard it a couple of times on the oldies station here and I've been humming it for days. :)

[the OlLine Rebel]

Wow, I didn't even think of that!

But you're right - between being incredibly slow, stupid and asinine w/its BS socialistic view, and also so overly loved by every1 (except us), I'd say it's most overrated song and perhaps worst ever....

Imagine there's no "Imagine".....it's wonderful if you try....

[AgentEcho]

Has anyone mentioned Morris Albert "Feelings" ?

"Owner of A Lonely Heart" is by no means and let me repeat by no means indicative of the bulk of Yes' catalog. The 1970's albums by Yes like "Fragile" and "Close To Edge" are absolute classics though and bear no resemblance with the 80's line-up of Yes' foray into pop music ala "Owner Of A Lonely Heart". Also "Sussudio" is a Phil Collins tune, not Genesis and again is not at all like the old Genesis when Peter Gabriel fronted the band and Collins was behind the drum kit where he belonged.
