Do you think if you asked your Mom now about "Torn Between Two Lovers" today she would answer you ?
ROFL!!
'Can you explain their mascot, the robot? "
As a George Lynch fan (guitarist for Dokken), I'm at a loss. I've never associated robots with them.
Peaches & Herb....a disco classic. and VERY much still requested.
The Tubes
Talk To Ya Later
Tubes/Foster/Steve Lukather (That's right, the same Steve Lukather from TOTO. He plays a nasty guitar solo as the Tube's session musician)
I met her on a strip
It was another lost weekend
The band was too slick
And the people were twisted
So I asked her for a date
She reluctantly agreed
Then we went to my place
And she never did leave
She wont even miss me when shes gone
And thats okay with me Ill cry later on
Its been six months
She hasnt shut up once
Ive tried to explain
Shes driving me insane
She wont even miss me when shes gone
And thats okay with me Ill cry later on
Chorus:
Talk to ya laterdont want to hear it again tonight
Talk to ya laterjust save it for another guy
Talk to ya laterdont want to hear it again tonight
Ill just see you around
Get out
Im telling you now
Do you catch my drift
What could be plainer than this
Nothin more to be said
Write me a letter instead
I dont mean to be cruel
But Im finished with you
She wont even miss me when shes gone
Thats okay with me Ill cry later on
Chorus
Talk to ya laterdont want to hear it again tonight
Talk to ya laterjust save it for another guy
Talk to ya laterdont want to hear it again tonight
Ill just see you around
After perusing all of the responses....it would seem the
winner is....
1) Muskrat Love.
My own particular dislikes are(not in any order...they all
get me sick:
Afternoon delight
Torn between two Lovers
Seasons in the Sun
Sylvias Mother (gotta be right up there with Muskrat Love)
Ben
Lola (talk about "creepy"
I remember some old interview with Morrison where he said the original title of the song was Brown SKINNED Girl but it was changed to meet 1967 American racial sensitivities.
"She's A Beauty" was good, though. :)
"Baby I'm A Want You" tops my list of nauseating love songs.
who was that man
I'd like to shake his hand
he made my baby fall in love with me
(deep bass) YEAHHHHHHHHH!
OMG... THAT WAS HORRID!!
That's worse than Muskrat Love... Plus, it makes me think of Helen Reddy (I am Woman, hear me nag)
Yes, but not without laughing. She's very cool, but I was only about 7 when I asked!
That is a fabulous song! It better not make the list. :)
I. Paradise
Boy:
I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake
And there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl
Looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school
They were wishing they were me that night
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon! Hold on tight!
C'mon! Hold on tight!
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Girl:
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed
Ain't no doubt about it
Baby got to go and shout it
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Boy:
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed
Baby doncha hear my heart
You got it drowning out the radio
I've been waiting so long
For you to come along and have some fun
And I gotta let ya know
No you're never gonna regret it
So open up your eyes I got a big surprise
It'll feel all right
Well I wanna make your motor run
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon! Hold on tight!
C'mon! Hold on tight!
Though it's cold and lonley in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Paradise by the dashboard light
You got to do what you can
And let Mother Nature do the rest
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely--
We're gonna go all the way tonight
We're gonna go allt he way
An tonight's the night...
Radio Broadcast:
Ok, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker
going here, two down, nobody on, no score,
bottom of the ninth, there's the wind-up and
there it is, a line shot up the middle, look
at him go. This boy can really fly!
He's rounding first and really turning it on
now, he's not letting up at all, he's gonna
try for second; the ball is bobbled out in center,
and here comes the throw, and what a throw!
He's gonna slide in head first, here he comes, he's out!
No, wait, safe--safe at second base, this kid really
makes things happen out there.
Batter steps up to the plate, here's the pitch--
he's going, and what a jump he's got, he's trying
for third, here's the throw, it's in the dirt--
safe at third! Holy cow, stolen base!
He's taking a pretty big lead out there, almost
daring him to try and pick him off. The pitcher
glance over, winds up, and it's bunted, bunted
down the third base line, the suicide squeeze in on!
Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close,
here's the throw, there's the play at the plate,
holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!
II. Let Me Sleep On It
Girl:
Stop right there!

III. Praying for the End of Time
Boy:
I couldn't take it any longer
Lord I was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me
Like a tidal wave
I started swearing to my god and on my mother's grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore that I would love you to the end of time!
So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that I can do
Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!!!
Boy:
It was long ago and it was far away
and it was so much better than it is today
Girl:
It never felt so good
It never felt so right
And we were glowing like
A metal on the edge of a knife

I am a huge music fan, 50's and on, but there is not much out there today. I believe some love songs are truly horrible, however, at the time some were released they sounded ok, but after being played over and over and over, you really grew tired of them. I used to enjoy Billy Joel,James Taylor, but today, their songs are "tired". we all have different tastes in music, I have to admit that I kind of enjoy, "Afternoon Delight".
OH a whole nother group that did sappy songs - BREAD
Are you referring to "Who But the Bomp (In the Bomp,Bomp,Bomp?" written by that fine songwriting pair Gerry Goffin and Barry Mann(from famed Brill Building team)
Barry Mann went on to write "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" by the Animals. Quite a change of pace, wouldn't you say ?
