Jim Seals and Dash Croft used to be members of which group that had a huge hit, an instrumental save for one word, the title?
The Champs, but S and C joined after the Champs had their huge hit, "Tequila." (Glen Campbell also was part of the Champs for a while.)
"Tequila" was first heard in a movie in which film starring which Mexican comic actor?
"Pepe," starring Cantinflas.
(The Six Degrees of Seals and Croft?)
I come in last night about half past ten,
that baby of mine wouldn't let me in
So move it on over, rock it on over,
move over little dog, the mean old dog is movin'
in.
Some damage control needed.
Put on Canon in D by Johann Pachelbel, and you'll have a antidote to the miserable songs on this thread.
Web sites are devoted to Canon in D. I play it everyday, in everyway I can find it!

But speaking of Roger Miller, I'll see your "Doo Wacka Doo" and "Dang Me" ("They oughta take a rope and hang me"), and I'll raise you a "King of the Road" ("Trailers for sale or rent") and an "England Swings" ("Like a pendulum do").
Of course, once you mention Roger Miller, you immediately think of Ray Stevens, which leads you to Jim Stafford, and then you're into "I don't like spiders and snakes," and. . . .
My baloney has a first name
It's O-S-C-A-R
My baloney has a second name
It's M-A-Y-E-R
Oh, I love to eat it every day
And if you ask me, why I'll say
'Cause Oscar Mayer has a way with
B-O-L-O-G-N-A
Title: "Best Friend" (AKA Theme to 'The Courtship of Eddie's Father')
By: "Harry Nilsson"
People let me tell you 'bout my best friend,
He's a warm hearted person who'll love me till the end.
People let me tell you bout my best friend,
He's a one boy cuddly toy, my up, my down, my pride and joy.
People let me tell you 'bout him he's so much fun
Whether we're talkin' man to man or whether we're talking son to son.
Cause he's my best friend.
Yes he's my best friend.
I think it's the scat singing at the end of this atrocity that really gives it maximum suckage, plus it's bouncy, so just reading the words should make them stick in your mind...perhaps for days.
Horribly enough, I was just going to post that one.
Well, I couldn't resist taking a quick look at this thread on the way out the door this morning, and now I'm VERY SORRY. All the way to work, like a skipping record: "MOMMA'S got the power...MOMMA'S got the power...MOMMA'S got the power...MOMMA'S got the power..."
If I find myself whistling it, I must hunt you all down and cause you grave bodily damage.
That's not what they think at Seals-and-Crofts-dot-com
'Course now, I'll be thinking of ABBA records and Ace of Base. . . .
...and thence to Jerry Reed.
Amos Moses was a Cajun, he lived by himself in a swamp.
He hunted alligators for a livin', he'd just knock 'em in the head with a stump...
OK, for my punishment, you'll have to make me sing, "We may never pass this way again," all day.
Now, I promise, I'm breaking away and getting to work.
Very good.
Even after the cumulative numbing effect of the previous 386 posts, many of which I committed myself, that one still made me flinch.

Who also, let us never forget, gave us "Lime in the Coconut."
