Stupid songs from the 70's!!!

[Ireneparalegal]

Run Joey Run: Don't remember who sang it, it doesn't matter. It was terrible, it was stupid, I can't believe this became a song. It was abt a girl who became pregnant and her father wanted to kill the boyfriend. The father accidently shoots his own daughter and she dies. One of the lyrics went like this:

"Daddy please don't, it wasn't his fault, he means so much to me, Daddy please don't, we want to get married!"
I can imagine what a video to this song may have looked like!!!!

Disco Duck another bad and idiotic song that should never have been made. Stupid stupid stupid!!!! :mad:

[Shine]

Oh, I don't know, there are so many bad songs from the 1970's. Pretty much anything by Kiss, Queen, Barry Manilow, Seals & Croft (infact almost any 70's artist who was somebody & somebody sucked! :lol: ), Foghat, Pink Floyd,ELO (with the exception of "Strange Magic")...the list could go on and on. :lol:

wow, you don't like Queen? I'm not the fan that someone like Brad is, but I do think they had a number of kickass songs. ELO I never really followed but I've heard a number of their songs on various radio stations that I like, my faves are Shine A Little Love, Turn To Stone and their contributions to the Xanadu soundtrack. I don't like Barry, Foghat (Slow Ride might be okay if it wasn't 13 minutes long) and think Floyd is very overrated

[Shine]

Yeah, I think Queen is a terrible band. There is just something about their music that really gets under my skin.


Oh, and I forgot to mention Billy Joel! :lol:

[Dean Winchester]

I can't stomach Styx with the exceptions of Come Sail Away, Too Much Time on My Hands and Mr. Roboto

How funny, I am posting Muskrat Love by Captain and Tennille too. LOL

also:

Paul Anka: My best friend's wife is the love of my life (yes this is a real song, no kidding!)

[Brian]

Brand New Key by Melanie. How that made it to number 1 is beyond me.

Seasons in the Sun (which happens to be Jack's least favorite song ever) is also a stupid one. It isn't really that bad, though. Just stupid.

"We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun..."

Payola! :lol:

Also - "Afternoon Delight" by the Starland Vocal Band. :barf:

[Pitooey]

Also Disco Duck (?) :confused:

But my all time favorite is a song called My Ding a Ling...:mad:

any song by the isleys brothers

[musicradio77]

I love "Disco Duck". Rick Dees was great where he did a one hit wonder. He tried to impersonate Donald Duck in the song. I like other dumb songs:

1. "Gimmie Dat Ding" - The Pipkins
2. "Troglodyte" - The Jimmy Castor Bunch
3. "Fight The Power" - The Isley Brothers
4. "Bertha Butt Boogie" - The Jimmy Castor Bunch
5. "Jungle Boogie" - Kool & the Gang

[musicradio77]

But my all time favorite is a song called My Ding a Ling...:mad:

Yep! That song was by Chuck Berry. It had been played once on Musicradio WABC since the fall of 1972. That song lasts for only two days. The record is pulled at the behest of upper management. (The story is that the wife of an upper-corporate-level manager or director heard the song on the air, and demanded that it be pulled; one might say that she pulled "My Ding-a-Ling.") After this week's survey, the song is never heard again on WABC. The song was #1 on WWDJ in Hackensack, NJ.

[Steve M.]

Another dumb song - "Torn Between Two Lovers" by Mary MacGregor. "Torn, yes," one listener told Dave Barry, "hopefully on the rack." :lol:

:( I liked a lot of those artists songs. But it's fine if you don't. :)

What's funny abt those choices of Jimmy's, those artists epitomize the 70's, along with many others...they may not have appealed to alot of people, but they made their mark in music history.

[Tuesday Weld]

I could name a lot of them, but what comes to mind is "Junkfood Junkie", "Disco Duck", "Brand New Key", "American Pie" and I'm sure there's more. :lol:

Yeah, and they bring back a lot of great memories. :)

[dawsongirl]

"Having My Baby." That was 70's, right? That song makes me want to hurl.

Or how about "MacArthur's Park?" One of the stupidest songs ever, of any decade!

"MacArthur Park" was from 1968.

[Tuesday Weld]

"Let Her In" by John Travolta.....another clunker. :lol:

[lockdown06]

Anything Disco is stupid

[Coffeecup]

I never cared for Seasons in the Sun. I later found out it was about a middle aged man who found out he had a short time to live and the thoughts on his death would be to his family.

[Janice Johnson]

Dream Weaver by Gary Wright. I was listening to Dream Weaver on Majic 102.7, The Oldies station, and I heard this when they played it. I used to like the song very much, but found myself frowning as I listened to it. It isn't that great of a song. Slow melodious song, but something isn't right about it.:o

[dawsongirl]

"MacArthur Park" was from 1968.
Whatever. Take the Donna Summer version then. That song blows.

Posters on this board said that the DS version is great and blows the RH version out of the water.:confused:

Hey, now, I love that song! :snob: :p :lol:

The Four Tops covered it in 1971. Their version went to number 38.

Me too! :king:

It's an awesome song. I never get tired of it.
I love Donna Summer's version. Her version is the best. She belts it out like no other!!!!
Hey, this is supposed to be abt STUPID SONGS people...:wave:

Here's another stoo-pid 70's song!

"Undercover Angel" by Alan O'Day!

If you had a childhood in the seventies, and people think you're screwed up, you have a legitimate explanation in the form of having to hear these songs being played on Mom and Dad's favorite AM radio station. . . and this song is Exhibit A! I mean, how do you explain a song that goes, "Undercover angel, midnight Tennessee. . . ." WHAAAAAT?????? :confused: :eek:

[lockdown06]

I can't stomach Styx with the exceptions of Come Sail Away, Too Much Time on My Hands and Mr. Roboto

You are missing Lady and Renegade their best songs.

[James]

I mean, how do you explain a song that goes, "Undercover angel, midnight Tennessee. . . ."

I thought it was "midnight fantasy."

Oh, and I like that song. :cool: Rock on, Alan! :drummer:

[JT]

"MacArthur Park" was from 1968.
And 1978.

Personally, I love almost every song mentioned so far. "Having My Baby" has always been a little iffy with me ("I'm a woman in love and I like the way you feel inside of me!" WTF?).

But come on, how can you not get the campy greatness that is "Brand New Key"? I love the chorus.

[Steve M.]

I thought it was "midnight fantasy."



Oh, maybe it was. :o

[Chad Michael Murray]

"YOU CAN RING MAH BEEEEE-EEEEEE-ELLLLL...RING MAH BELL!! YOU CAN RING MAH BEEEEEEE-EEEEE-ELLLLL...RING MAH BELL!!"

Yeah. That one.

[Steve M.]

"YOU CAN RING MAH BEEEEE-EEEEEE-ELLLLL...RING MAH BELL!! YOU CAN RING MAH BEEEEEEE-EEEEE-ELLLLL...RING MAH BELL!!"

Yeah. That one.


That was the worst number-one song of 1979 not called "My Sharona!" :barf: puke:

[Skywalker]

A Horse With No Name - America

[Ireneparalegal]

Whatever. Take the Donna Summer version then. That song blows.
I love her version. The guys version is good, it is really really sad. Donna's version is the one I live the best, I guess because if I had to sing it, that would be the way I would sing it.

[Ireneparalegal]

And 1978.

That's not the lyric. She says: "I'm a woman in love and I love what's going through me". LOL:lol: :crazy:

The Morning After (The Posideon Adventure Theme)- Maureen someone

It was Maureen McGovern (no relation to George, I'm pretty sure), not to be confused with the actress who played Marcia Brady, Maureen McCormick! :D

[seventies_sitcoms]

Did anybody mention "Telephone Man" by Meri Wilson? Didn't it go something like "I'm the telephone man, I'll hang it in the hall, I'll hang it where you want it?"
