Lol, that IS weird...
I hate to speak evil of the dead, but Malvina sounds like some of the human waste we have around today.
"You Don't Have to Say You Love Me Just Because I Have"---which could have been titled, "Walk on Me, I'm a Dummy With No Sense of Self-Worth and You're So Perfect".
Oh yes, Johnny Angel. What a sweet, innocent song.
I remember listening to that one, holding my Barbie and Ken dolls, and thinking of happily ever after....
Believe it or not, in 1974 Seasons in the Sun was a best selling single week of February 27 to March 5.
ROTF
This thread really has me reminising.
David Cassidy
I Think I Love You
( The Partridge Family )
Goodbye Cruel World was by James Darren.Shelley Fabares scored big the same year-1962-with Johnny Angel.Paul Peterson's three hits were She Can't Find her Keys,Lollipops and Roses and My Dad.
Malvina may have been a commie and all but she was right about those"Little Boxes"-they DID all look the same!
Harry Nillson, formerly of Bad Finger, wrote the horrible love epic
I Can't Live (If Living Is Without You)
He killed himself. Never saw that coming.
Don't know if anyone has mentioned this "fine" song but I gotta vote for....
You don't bring me flowers anymore"....
Babs and Paul Anka I do believe
'Yeah. From '77-'78. Andrew Gold?'
Andy Kim

Yes, her point was right -- and it still is. It's just that the song was wretched.
Do yah dot'n duy ba da dot'n duy yah oo-ee dot'n duy...."(there's more, but it's too long)"
HOW "deep in our souls" should this be again?
Would a North Sea oil derrick reach? ;-)
By the way -- 'spell-check' didn't help :-D
"I think the only 'love' song I really like is LOVE SHACK by the B-52s. :o)"
UGH.
" I'm with Petronski as far as liking the song BRANDY and in agreement with just about everyone that the worst 'love' song is MUSKRAT LOVE."
(Phew!) Count me IN on that score as well.
Same here.
Let's not forget:
Hang on Sloopy
Summer in the City;
We Gotta Get outta this place
California Dreamin'
Monday Monday
G L O R I A
Down In the Boondocks
Up on the Boardwalk..
"I Can't Live (If Living Is Without You)"
Oh you're right! I forgot about that one. I actually like a lot of his stuff but that song was horrible and definately belongs on this thread.
'Believe it or not, in 1974 Seasons in the Sun was a best selling single week of February 27 to March 5. '
I believe it. I was young but I lived through it.
Thanks for the info! I remember "She Can't Find Her Keys", they just don't write lyrics like that anymore!
I never could stand love songs.I've got one that pretty much sums it all up."Broken Hearts are for A$$holes"by Frank Zappa of course.
"You Don't Have to Say You Love Me Just Because I Have"---which could have been titled, "Walk on Me, I'm a Dummy With No Sense of Self-Worth and You're So Perfect".

I thought it was Neil Diamond.
