You cruel, cruel man. I had to finish reading this thread, it has taken several days, and here I find that you posted that hideous "Muskrat Love" travesty. Did you get pleasure from this henious act?

Did a quick search of musicians on the song and my guess is Billy Cobham.

That's just wrong, plain wrong. I can't look at that freakazoid jackson without having nightmares. Now here's a soundtrack to go with the nightmare.

I wish I could post bagpipe music back at you.

Currently I heard Bryan Adams is living in England and occasionally pops up in concert over here.

Sung by the Buoys from Northeast PA in the early 70's. A group that I went to college with.

As long as you didn't go out to eat with them...

Funniest advice for bad songs came from an MTV VJ by the name of Kevin Seals inthe 1980's. Seals made an offhand suggestion to replace LOVE in any song with LUNCH.

Shake Your Lunch -- Debbie Gibson
I'm Ready For Lunch -- Bad Company
All You Need Is Lunch -- Beatles
Lunch Shack -- B-52's

Tommy Roe's "Dizzy" and "Sweet Pea" are dreadful, almost as bad as Buddy Knox's "Party Doll" and Fabian's "Turn Me Loose."

What are you? Nuts??
96 Tears is a classic!

My nomination is "Timothy" by the Buoys.
It was written by Rupert Holmes, who also gave us the real sucky "Pina Colada Song."

"Timothy" was about cannibalism.

Trapped in a mine that had caved in
And everyone knows the only ones left
Were Joe and me and Tim
When they broke through to pull us free
The only ones left to tell the tale
Were Joe and me

Timothy, Timothy, where on earth did you go?
Timothy, Timothy, God why don't I know?

Hungry as hell no food to eat
And Joe said that he would sell his soul
For just a piece of meat
Water enough to drink for two
And Joe said to me, "I'll have a swig
And then there's some for you."

Timothy, Timothy, Joe was looking at you
Timothy, Timothy, God what did we do?

I must have blacked out just around then
'Cause the very next thing that I could see
Was the light of the day again
My stomach was full as it could be
And nobody ever got around
To finding Timothy

Timothy...
