The first Bobby McFerrin tune I hear on the cruise, I'll know who to blame. And I'll come after you with a loop tape of "Weekend in New England" by Barry Manilow.

Don't think I won't.

[Porterville]

Geiko.

Remember "Telephone Man" by Merri Wilson?

Yup! "He hung it in the closet, and he hung it on the wall..."

The mental images were NOT pretty.

I am surprised nobody has mentioned the theme from "The Beverly Hillbillies" yet!! "out hunting for some food, up from the ground came some bubbling crude...texas tea....

[AmericanPhoenix911]

"I am," I said
To no one there
An no one heard at all
Not even the chair"

[Charles Henrickson]

C.W. McCall, otherwise know as??????????

Chip Davis of Mannheim Steamroller.

CW McCall is Chip Davis - founder of Mannheim Steamroller. He started American Gramophone with the proceeds of Convoy. (That bit of trivia scored me two tix to Mannheim about 12 Christmases ago!)

Don't be threatening a guy who had Japanese and Thai girls swooning with his Karaoke renditions of EVERY one of John Denver's hits!

I can fight fire with fire!

You wouldn't really know all the words to that, would you???

[Charles Henrickson]

Jinx!

More than I care to admit to....

The things you learn on FR. I did not know that. About the only really useless tidbit of music trivia I have in my arsenal is the name of the group who did "In the Year 2525" (think 'one-hit wonder').

[bootless]

Yeha, no kidding! I typed more, so you got there first! Nyah! :-)

Mouth and McNeal. (Their singing style: HOW - DO - YOU - *DO* -OO-OO.. NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH *NAH* NAH NAH...)

Zager & Evans?

[dfwgator]

And I've got one...two...three...four...five
Senses working overtime.

[strela]

Ooooo ... homey wanna play, huh? HEHEHEHE ...

[Marauder]

I really believe the worst song ever was Honey by Bobby Goldsboro: (See the tree how big it's grown, but, friend, it hasn't been too long, it wasn't big ...)

[speedy]

Not many remember that one. I keep trying to go to bed but the awful memories keep me stuck in front of the screen. I leave you with Mouth and McNeil -- "How do you do -ooh ooh-" etc and good night!! This time I really mean it!! Don't be posting another Carpenters song or England Dan & John Ford Coley!! Enjoyed it!

[Charles Henrickson]

Zager and Evans?

OK, who did "One Toke Over the Line"?

The clock is running.

[strela]

Yessir, that's the one.
