Beauty-awful. A lot of great names did songs you do not want to play ever again. I remember Elvis - Softly, as I leave you, or Cliff's Daddy's Home. It is usually very sad when artists go to the bottom of the emotional pit to jerk a tear.
ReplyDeleteWhen you take a song like Those were ther days by Mary Hopkins, or Yes Sir, I can boogie you must have noticed that behind the few moments of music these song are nothing more than repetitious fillers
Some are equally bad and brilliant Shaddup You Face by Joe Dolce
or Herd - Neanderthal Man,
The first time Speedy J - Pullover was heard they did not call it music. It will be a matter of taste(lessness). While Take That is in there, Barry Manilow or Donna Summer really can deliver that song. Do you still know Chalk Dust by Brat, a lot of those novelty tunes are quite bad, the Stars on 45 had many gruesome variations,
All I want for christmas are my two front teeth
How much is that doggie in the window
Big stars like Clint Eastwood singing A Bouquet Of Roses
This is a as good/bad/ugly as it gets (the laughing song)

It's pretty bad/good
Deletethe novelty songs like DISCO DUCK don't belong here. they were purposely bad. but i am so glad that songs like ebony,sussy,billy,ankas baby,mac prark,oobly,and we sang this shitty are being recognized as the absolute crap they have always been.
ReplyDeleteI love Disco Duck! And the Paul Anka! Etc. Probably because they are bad
