Forgiven in the name of this thread, the greatest of all possible threads. The Sweet, who at least had the good taste to never put together a Greatest Hits album. Of course continuing in the Clintonian vein there was Wet Willie "Keep On Smilin." And you're hangin' out -- in the local bar -- and you're wonderin' -- who the hell you are.

[speedy]

Yes, "Ring My Bell" by Anita Ward, from near the end of the true disco era. Not to be confused with Andrea True of "More More More" infamy. I can almost see those polyesters springing back to life.

[Tax-chick]

Well I'm a wild bull rider and I love my rodeo ...

If that cat could talk, what tales he'd tell
about Della and the dealer and the dog as well
but the cat was cool, and he never said a mumblin' word

Well I know there's a lot of big preachers
That know a lot more than I do
But it could be that the good Lord
Likes a little pickin' too ...

And then she said she got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge...

[Marauder]

OK, OK ... I bow before you; I am not worthy.
Tallahatchee Bridge by Bobbie Gentry was indisputably the all-time worst song ever, even worse than Honey, Watching Scotty Grow, Snoopy and the Red Baron, or anything by Bread. Even worse than I Started a Joke (Beegees).

[Interesting Times]

Not sure this exactly qualifies as music, but does anybody remember the spoken version of 'Desiderata'?

I think it made it into the top 10 for an hour or two.

[AAABEST]

....he's got the whole world in his hands!!!

[AAABEST]

Oh danny boyyyyy ...the pipes, the pipes are calling....

From glen to glen....

[AAABEST]

Juuusssst, a closer walk with you....

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I'm pretty sure it's Seals and Croft.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Danke Schoen.

(Wayne Newton)

[Jorge]

Juuusssst, a closer walk with you....

EEE-GADS you've even got the cadence down...!
This is torture.

That ad started running in my head all over again!
Please don't post anymore.

I don't think anyone on this thread has mentioned a special kind of torment that occurs when you have a three year old and the songs from the shows they watch won't go away. How about having "duh duh duh duh duh Dora,duh duh duh duh duh Dora" running in your head all day? Arrghh! Or how about the truly evil "I love you, you love me"? And the occasional Spongebob Squarepants, not as awful as the other ones, but still sticks to the brain.

I vaguely remember "The King of Nothing," but really liked "Hummingbird," especially when the FM stations, which back then actually had personnel who cared about music, would go ahead and play the full version with the intro, which was harmonically neat even at the time, and would be like Mozart compared with the output of today's two chord/song (if you're lucky) wonders. "O hummingbird, mankind has waited for you to come flying along..."

[bootless]

Two totally different disco eras. Andrea True was from the synth/strings/thumpa-thumpa stuff. Anita Ward came along when the music got (only slightly) more complex. I was there, in the clubs. Oh Lawdy!

[AAABEST]

LOL!

That commercial will be our eternity if we're sent to hell.

Ever notice that the first time she sings "One Day at a Time" it goes "I'm only human, I'm just a woman...", then later in the live version (when she's older) it goes "I'm only human, I am a woman...

I wonder why she changed it. Probably just to screw with us, as if implanting these horrid songs in our heads wasn't bad enough.

Now, I promise, I'm breaking away and getting to work.

You wouldn't happen to work somewhere east of ginger trees, would you? [ducks and runs]
