From: Zarah Dawn okies *G* in preperation for Saturday's event......
Which, of the songs listed, is the cheesiest song of the 70's Muskrat Love has to be way up there, along with that tooth-grinding UFO song the Carpenters did, "Calling Occupants" or whatever. I get a headache just thinking of that one...  |

Oh boy, well Loving You was cheesy but Minnie Riperton made some great songs. Have you ever heard Adventures in Paradise? In addition to being wonderful to listen to it holds the record for the highest note I've ever heard sung. Also, I lived in Cambridge, MA in that era. There was this tiny AM station WCAS there that played the best music I've heard over the air. 500 watts, sunrise to sunset only. Minnie Riperton died and the dj was crying on the air. It made me want to cry too.
Ballroom Blitz is fun! In its own cheesy way.
Tiptoe through the Tulips too, but I think that was the 60's.
The rest of the songs in this thread, yup pretty awfully cheesy.

How can you people forget "Afternoon Delight" by Starland Vocal Band? Pure Velveeta! Edit: Olympia remembered.

I hate to do this to you guys, but... From: Michael Murphey or someone "Oh they say she died one winter, when there came a killer frost...
And the pony she named Wildfiere BUSTED DOWN HIS STALL!
In a blizard she was lost....
She ran crying Wiiiiiiiiiiiiildfire! She ran calling Wiiiiiiiiiildf fire!
She ran crying Wiiiiii-iiiiii-iiiiii-iiiii-fiiiiiiiiiiiiiire" From: Rose Karuna Every time I hear this song I want to become a vampire so that I can never see the light of day again: Terry Jacks "Seasons In The Sun" That's an example of an oldie that's so widely hated that even the oldies stations avoid it. In college I had an obnoxious roommate who liked to play that gawdaful song at full blast. And this was in 1989! Before I get too snotty about cheesy 70's music, I must admit I recently purchased a "Best of Three Dog Night" cd  , though I listen to it with headphones so nobody strangles me. |

From: David Cartier that tooth-grinding UFO song the Carpenters did, "Calling Occupants" or whatever. I get a headache just thinking of that one... Insipid cover of the original by the studio band Klaatu. Not that the original is much better, but Klaatu did do a bitingly funny patriotic ode to the fictional country of Politzania. As far as voting goes, I vote for You Light Up My Life. But make it a poll! It's easy  |

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around.
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around.
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Just like me (Just like me)
They long to be
Close to you.
Wahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
Wahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
Hahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
Lahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.

Oh my god, Wildfire and Seasons in the Sun... ::  hudder:::... both so damn depressing I just want to toss the radio out the window or bash myself over the head or something if I hear them. And what was that other horrible depressing one about somebody who drowned or something? Shannon? I've never understood what that was all about. Shannon, is gone I heard She's drifting out to sea... I'd listen to Ballroom Blitz a hundred times before I'd listen to any of those three. I think somebody should make a playlist of cheesy songs about tragic death.

Uggh, "Shannon". I somehow missed this turkey as a kid in the 70's, but tragically "discovered" it on a "Super Hits of the 70s" cd. When a song I dislike happens to be in the mix on a cd I buy, I call it a stowaway song. That cd has several dreadful stowaways: "Shannon", "Dream Weaver", "Afternoon Delight" and the one about the warm wind blowing the stars around and he'd really like to see you tonight. Puting that cd on scramble is audio russian roulette! Ah yes, another bad 70's song that comes to mind is "Hello, it's me". I don't remember the subject maner, but the there's something so errie and lonely about that song that I understand why people jump off bridges. And one more, "Livin' Thing" by E.L.O. I was a little girl when this was popular, and the rediculious "I'm takin' a DIVE! DIVE!! DIVE!!!" parts used to scare me! |

How can we forget "Kung Fu Fighting" by Carl Douglas? Or "Hot Child in the City" or "Ring my Bell" or "Play that Funky Music (White Boy)"? Or Linda Ronstadt's horrifying "Ooooh Baby Baby"? or the sappy "Sad Eyes" by Robert John... or "Babe" by Styx. or the absolutely terrible "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)" "Sometimes When We Touch" by Dan Hill "Hopelessly Devoted To You" by Olivia Neutron-Bomb. "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" by Babs and Neil "Time Passages" by Al Stewart "I Think I Love You" by the Partridge Family... wait, I like that song.  Anything by the BeeGees, Andy Gibb, the Osmonds, or Barry Manilow. Damn, there was a lot of crap on the radio when I was a kid.

The sad part is, I'd rather listen to even the most sticky, over-the-top pop ballad than the shuffling abomination that was disco. Disco is insideous. Your toe will be tapping, your fingers will be drumming, and all the sudden it hits you that whatever you're humming has all the intellectual nutritional value of Pop Rocks.
We would all have been better off if disco had been a purely instrumental movement.
Burn down that funky brick cake, white duck!
