Which is pretty much all of them.

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - Gordon Lightfoot

I like that song! By the way, that actually happened - 29 men lost on Lake Superior when their ship, the Edmund Fitzgerald, sank in November 1975! :(

Any song by Mariah Carey where she screams it in place of singing or otherwise uses a vast array of high-pitched vocal sounds, sounding like a cat in heat.
Which is pretty much all of them.


I hope Mariah Carey fan MonarC doesn't read this! :eek:

I hope Mariah Carey fan MonarC doesn't read this! :eek:
Ah well, we all have our likes and dislikes. And me, well I dislikes Mariah Carey. :D

Everything Ashlee or Jessica Simpson have ever done, even if I've never heard it.

Almost every Leslie Gore song. The worst lyrics ever!!

MacArthur's Park.

I Got You Babe

Midnight at the Oasis

Rap of any kind.

What about Seasons in the Suck?


:lol: Aw, no love for a song about suicide? That's probably not what it's about, but it sounds that way.

:lol: Aw, no love for a song about suicide? That's probably not what it's about, but it sounds that way.

What about Seasons in the Suck?

And also, I do like those two songs*covers self*

I can't believe, out of all of the songs I could list, that was left off. Yeah, "Seasons in the Sun" is one I'd love to kill. :lol: Seasons in the Suck.

Jack. Nooooooooo!! :eek:

Just kidding. ;)

boulevard of broken dreams- green day

:eek: i love that song.

yes I agree about that J-lo song. its SO ANNOYING and they have that same party horn sound throughout the whole song. ugh.

other songs i want to kill:

any Ashlee Simpson songs
anything by Maroon 5 (particularly "she will be loved" ugh that song makes me wanna go crazy and brutally kick and slap anything around me)
beyonce "naughty girl" i like beyonce but that song is so annoying.
anything by Raven, Hilary Duff, and Britney Spears.

my boo by usher and alicia keys (the worst lyrics EVER)


boulevard of broken dreams- green day

:yeahthat

Well the melody isnt bad, just the lyrics....Green day would be a good band if they would get better songs. THeir voices are great

anything by Maroon 5 (particularly "she will be loved" ugh that song makes me wanna go crazy and brutally kick and slap anything around me)


I don't like "She Will Be Loved" either.

Anything by Avril Lavigne
Anything by Eminem
Anything by Usher
Anything by Good Charlotte
Anything by Green Day
She Will Be Loved - Maroon 5

Green day would be a good band if they would get better songs.

:eek: I don't even listen to rock and I know that green day has some of the best songs...how many songs by them have you actually heard?

lets see for me its:

Any song by Ashlee Simpson
Toxic by Britney Spears
Anything Ashanti
Anything Ja Rule
One Thing by Finger 11
and alot of other songs

anything rap with the exceptions of Missy and Outkast
anything Simpson (well, "Do That Bartman" was ok, lol... but I meant live-action)
most of Usher's recent music

I don't listen to enough radio or MTV to really have a lot of music get under my nerves like the old days.

:yeahthat

Well the melody isnt bad, just the lyrics....Green day would be a good band if they would get better songs. THeir voices are great

what's wrong with their lyrics? They've grown up a great deal since the days of "Dookie" lyrically

I'm surprised with all the Green Day hate. People have been begging and pleading for some halfway decent mainstream rock (even if it's from a band whose been popular for more than a decade), they get their wish.. and it's not good enough?

I love Maroon 5, but I can understand why some people hate them, I know a lot of people who are not fond of Adam's voice, and find their stuff to be too overproduced. But I like his voice, and think they're one of the few "pop" acts around who are actually halfway decent and appealing to adults.

One Thing by Finger 11


I like that one.

I like that one.

I love "One Thing" too, even tho it is a stylistic ripoff of "The Buddha Of Suburbia" by David Bowie IMO.

Any rap, anything by Ashlee or Jessica Simpson, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey or Madonna--and any country song about getting drunk or cheating on your spouse (in other words, almost all of them but not quite LOL)!

Anything by Avril Lavigne
:rolleyes:

Anything by Avril Lavigne
Anything by Eminem
Anything by Usher
Anything by Good Charlotte
Anything by Green Day
She Will Be Loved - Maroon 5

you just killed many of my favorite songs :lol:

:eek: I don't even listen to rock and I know that green day has some of the best songs...how many songs by them have you actually heard?

:nod: true. i never heard much from them until Boulevard of Broken Dreams and now i've listened to many of their other songs.

I can't believe, out of all of the songs I could list, that was left off. Yeah, "Seasons in the Sun" is one I'd love to kill. :lol: Seasons in the Suck.

Jack. Nooooooooo!! :eek:

Just kidding. ;)
I know! :D



Yeah it's true


I know :D

:rolleyes:

:lol: in my opinion everyone on that list he wrote is better than Raven.

:eek: I don't even listen to rock and I know that green day has some of the best songs...how many songs by them have you actually heard?
All of the songs on their American Idiot CD because my friends are highly obsessed with them

As I said the music is good but the lyrics need help.

Both groups are popular in my school

everyone I know loves Green Day, especially my friends Scott, Nick, and Dan. the only person I know who likes Maroon 5 is my friend Sami.

Green Day music needs lyric help? :eek:

am I the only one here who remembers when Green Day were popular in the mid-90's? "When I Come Around", "Basketcase", "Longview", "Brain Stew/Jaded", "Time Of Your Life", "Hitchin' A Ride", etc... I was such a big fan of theirs when I was a teen, and it is so cool to see them make a comeback as big as they have had 10 years later.

They were THE BAND in 94.

Green Day music needs lyric help? :eek:

I personally think Green Day is past their glory. I have "Dookie", which is a pretty good album, but their new stuff doesn't impress me much. Their newest song "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" is just boring to me.

I remember growing up with songs like Good Riddance and When I Come Around, so I'll always enjoy listening to those. A lot of their older stuff from the 90s is great.

I personally think Green Day is past their glory. I have "Dookie", which is a pretty good album, but their new stuff doesn't impress me much. Their newest song "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" is just boring to me.

I agree that Green Day are nowhere as good as they were back in the Dookie and Nimrod days, but it is still sweet to see a veteran act holding their own in an era where the new rock bands frankly cannot hold a candle to the early-mid 90's bands.

Hoobastank - The Reason

How could I forget that one? That song was horrendus.

I agree that Green Day are nowhere as good as they were back in the Dookie and Nimrod days, but it is still sweet to see a veteran act holding their own in an era where the new rock bands frankly cannot hold a candle to the early-mid 90's bands.

I agree. It's also good to see a solid pop-punk band holding themselves up in a music scene that is dominated by a lot of rap and hip hop. I believe that they're a good band, I'm just not too into "American Idiot".

:rolleyes:
No, I don't like Avril Lavigne, in fact I hate her music. But if you like her, good for you. You shouldn't be concerned about what I think of her.

:lol: in my opinion everyone on that list he wrote is better than Raven.
Well in my opinion fighting cats are better than the people on my list :P

Blvd of Broken Dreams is probably one of their better songs...I HATE HATE HATE American Idiot

:lol: in my opinion everyone on that list he wrote is better than Raven.
Gotta agree there

everyone I know loves Green Day, especially my friends Scott, Nick, and Dan. the only person I know who likes Maroon 5 is my friend Sami.

Green Day music needs lyric help? :eek:
Everyone I know loves Maroon 5 and Green Day, theyre both pretty popular (at least in my school)

IMO they do. American Idiot (the song not the cd) is just ******** (IMO)

well, I like what the song is about... but I think you have to be a certain age to really know what GD was singing about

well, I like what the song is about... but I think you have to be a certain age to really know what GD was singing about
WHatever, i still hate that song

Well in my opinion fighting cats are better than the people on my list :P

:lol: i think Raven wears clothes meant for seniors rather than for 18 year olds.

WHatever, i still hate that song

maybe the lyrics are a little too politically driven to appeal to younger people?

No, I don't like Avril Lavigne, in fact I hate her music. But if you like her, good for you. You shouldn't be concerned about what I think of her.

well, im avs angel and i have to look out for her and stand up 4 her.

I remember back then. "Time of Your Life" is a good song.

well, im avs angel and i have to look out for her and stand up 4 her.

my dad's girlfriend has a daughter that looks and sounds EXACTLY like Avril. you'd like her :p

I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston
and
My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion


Can I get an Amen somebody? :lol:

Amen! :D

My list:

Seasons In The Sun-Terry Jax
McArthur Park- Richard Harris and Donna Summer versions
Macarena
Achey Brakey Heart-Billy Ray Cyrus

Despite my avatar.....I would love to kill Fallin by Alicia Keys. That song is the whole reason I didn't listen to the radio most of the summer before 7th grade.

maybe the lyrics are a little too politically driven to appeal to younger people?
No, because my friends like it

And my mom hates it too

That lala song by Ashlee Simpson
LALA ROX! :D

anyway, i hate a lot of songs but if i could just kill the club cracker commercial theme, i'd be satisfied enough.

:lol: in my opinion everyone on that list he wrote is better than Raven.
well she doesn't count, she's manufactured. the rest of the artists he listed worked for their careers.

Almost all that **** they play on Mtv.

Green Day music needs lyric help? :eek:
i disagree too. "i walk this lonely street, on the boulevard of broken dreams" is pretty good.

No, I don't like Avril Lavigne, in fact I hate her music. But if you like her, good for you. You shouldn't be concerned about what I think of her.
it's pretty funny when people take the things kristina says so seriously.

Green Day is pretty good, I like they're older stuff better though.

i disagree too. "i walk this lonely street, on the boulevard of broken dreams" is pretty good.
As I said, Blvd of Broken Dreams" is one of their better ones

Afternoon Delight - the Starland Vocal Band :barf:

Afternoon Delight - the Starland Vocal Band :barf:

Absolutely!

I love Maroon 5, but I can understand why some people hate them, I know a lot of people who are not fond of Adam's voice, and find their stuff to be too overproduced. But I like his voice, and think they're one of the few "pop" acts around who are actually halfway decent and appealing to adults.

I like Maroon 5's music. When I first heard the songs "This Love" and "She Will Be Loved" I thought they were the best original-sounding band I had heard since the B-52s.


The only song I can think of right now that I can't stand is Britney Spears song "Soda Pop". I like a lot of Britney's music, but that one song I just can't listen to. I find the lyrics so annoying.

Afternoon Delight - the Starland Vocal Band :barf:

Man, that song SUCKS!

That new Jennifer Lopez song with the annoying thing in the background that sounds like a clown farting

:rotflmao: That seriously cracked me up. :rofl:

- ahem - Anyway, here's my list.
Broken by Seether and Amy Lee ( :livid: )
Confessions by Usher
Baby It's You by JoJo
I Just Wanna Live by Good Charlotte (This wouldn't be such a bad song if it weren't for the chorus. "I just wanna *high pitched voice* LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE" :wallbang )

Yeah there's more but that's all I can think of now.

I Just Wanna Live by Good Charlotte (This wouldn't be such a bad song if it weren't for the chorus. "I just wanna *high pitched voice* LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE" :wallbang ).

i TOTALLY agree on that. That line ruins it for me.

Aww, I *love* that song. But everyone has their own opinion I guess...

ANY thing from the 1980s. ANYTHING. ANYTHING. [U]ANYTHING[/I].
ANYTHING performed at Woodstock, and ALL other things performed by the people there.
ANYTHING by The Beatles. KISS. Rolling Stones. David Bowie. Bob Dylan. Queen.

It is hard to pick a song that makes you wanna :barf: without offending someone who likes it, but I will risk it to name mine..... "BARBIE GIRL" by Aqua. OMG my kids have that album and when they play it I want to blow chunks.... it is like nails on the black board!

I actually like Seasons In the Sun. "We had fun we had seasons in the sun" :confused: . What's so wrong and infamous about it? Quite a few of people hate this song. I like it.

My hubby likes it too, but I find songs about suicide depressing.... I don't care for depressing songs, which is the reason I don't like songs like "Last Kiss".... I listen to music to uplift me, not depress me.... but to each his/her own. (check my Simpson's quote in my signature)

I agree with all of those songs. Especially "I Just Wanna Live" by Good Charlotte. That entire song and video is replusive.
i actually kind of like that song, as much as i hate the rest of good charlotte's ****ty music. but the video is stupid though. they're all dressed up like vegetables or whatever, wow that's really creative.

dont go chasin' waterfalls

dooooon't goooooooo maaaaaaaking phony calls..

I hate 80s music, is all. It all annoys the crap out of me.

Songs Id love to kill
MacArthur Park - Richard Harris ( love Donna Summer's version though )


I've never heard the original Richard Harris song, but I absolutly love Donna Summer's version. Lyrics wise, first and foremost one should look at a song from all avenues, and frankly, Donna Summer's version rocks. Her version forces you to read more into the lyrics and its obvious that someone leaving her "cake" out in the rain is something much more sexual that Richard Harris could ever accomplish.

Furthermore, more songs that I would like to kill:

Anything by Bobby Brown
Britney Spears: Oops I Did it Again
Madonna: Hollywood
Anything by M.C. Hammer
Anything by Vanilla Ice (thus, Ice Ice Baby)
Aqua: Barbie Girl
Beatles: Hey Jude, (the last 4 minutes of this song only!!!!) Otherwise I LOVE this song) Those of you who have heard this song, know what I mean

Season In The Sun is one of my favorite of the 70's,but I don't like the first guys who done it.Any Jewell songs,Ride A horse,Save A Cowboy
ASHELY Simpson LA LA,Pieces Of Mew,any Americaol Idol 3rd season yes that means Ruben and Clay songs...UGHHHHH.Also any rap song also,but mabe a few rap old rap songs from the early 90'sThe 70's were just a blur for me I just listen ti kiddies songs like Casper,The Archies, etc so I don't have many dislaike in that era.1980's The earlyer part of 80's with somgs by ,Forener,Captain and Tennille,some by The Carpenters.

Beatles: Hey Jude, (the last 4 minutes of this song only!!!!) Otherwise I LOVE this song) Those of you who have heard this song, know what I mean

Ditto that! I was sooo glad Sir Paul didn't have time to drag that out during the Super Bowl halftime!

lol ya, the 80's are the best music era ever.

definately agree. Pop music of the 90's and today just doesn't compare.

Tho I do think ROCK was better in the 70's and 90's. But when it comes to POP music... I dare you to think up a better year for that genre of music than 1984 (or 1983 or 1986).

I hate hate hate Good Charlotte, but "I Just Wanna Live" was alright the first 20 times I heard it.

Aww, I *love* that song. But everyone has their own opinion I guess...
^^^^^^^^in response to "Afternoon Delight."

My list...

ANY thing from the 1980s. ANYTHING. ANYTHING. [U]ANYTHING[/I].
ANYTHING performed at Woodstock, and ALL other things performed by the people there.
ANYTHING by The Beatles. KISS. Rolling Stones. David Bowie. Bob Dylan. Queen.

damn, we share a lot in common tv-wise, but musically we're polar opposites. LOL.

I love the 80's, Bowie and Queen. Beatles, Kiss and Stones have their share of great stuff too... but I am with you on Dylan, cannot stand his music. I respect him as a songwriter, but I don't want to hear him sing.

oh yea... also add me in on the big standards boom of the past few years. Cannot stand anything Rod Stewart, Linda Ronstadt, Cyndi Lauper or anyone of that ilk has done standards-wise, tho I like them as pop singers.

I did like Bette Midler's standards record tho, because she actually made it a fun listen.

My music tastes are definitely more...shall we say 'unorthodox.' I'd rather have one Barry Manilow album than twenty Beatles albums.

1. "I Shot the Sheriff" - Eric Clapton
2. "Helter Skelter" - The Beatles
3. "Live and Just Let Live" - Engelbert Humperdinck
4. "The Mob Song" - The Cast of "Beauty and the Beast"
5. "Killing Me Softly With His Song" - Roberta Flack
6. "Live and Let Die" - Paul McCartney & Wings
7. "I Die Without You" - PM Dawn
8. "America's Most Wanted" - Ice-T
9. "The Message" - Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five
10. "I'm Going Down" - Rolls Royce
11. "Way Down" - Elvis Presley
12. "Scandelous" - Prince
13. "Cold Turkey" - John Lennon

Her version forces you to read more into the lyrics and its obvious that someone leaving her "cake" out in the rain is something much more sexual that Richard Harris could ever accomplish.



It's entirely too hard to not take that song literally, like the dude actually left a cake out in the rain and lost the recipe. Just makes me want to yell, "Who the **** CARES?!"

My music tastes are definitely more...shall we say 'unorthodox.' I'd rather have one Barry Manilow album than twenty Beatles albums.

Barry is cool too.

Guys hate him cuz he can make women swoon and they can't do anything but make them laugh or get sick. They's all gelus.

It's entirely too hard to not take that song literally, like the dude actually left a cake out in the rain and lost the recipe. Just makes me want to yell, "Who the **** CARES?!"

Yo, did you know that the Four Tops recorded a version of "MacArthur Park" that went to number 38 in 1971? And Waylon Jennings covered it too! :lol:

I hate 80s music, is all. It all annoys the crap out of me.

As I've noted, you can summarize eighties pop when you realize that the decade's first number-one hit was "Babe Please Don't Go" by KC and the Sunshine Band (week endng January 5, 1980), and its last was "Another Day In Paradise" by Phil Collins (week ending December 30, 1989). In with a bore, out with a bore. :lol:

Yo, did you know that the Four Tops recorded a version of "MacArthur Park" that went to number 38 in 1971? And Waylon Jennings covered it too! :lol:

Yes, I knew about the Four Tops. In fact it's included on my Four Tops Anthology album. However, it's only Part 2 of the song (on the Anthology), which in my opinion is the best part of the song and when Donna sings Part 2 of it, it is just totally uplifting. DAMN, I wish I had lived during the 70's to see what it was like to dance in the discos when Part 2 of MacArthur Park came on.

There's just something about Part 2 that totally completes the song and without it, the song is kind of crappy. When Donna sings, "and after all the loves of my life, and after all the loves in my life ... you'll still be the one, and I'll ask myself .... why?"


For those of you who don't know anything other than the "someone left the cake" part

The entire song lyrics Parts 1 and 2 as Donna sings it is as follows:

Part 1:

Spring was never waiting for us, dear
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages we were pressed,
In love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants

CHORUS
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again ... again!

I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground beneath your knees
And birds, like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing chinese checkers by the trees

CHORUS


Part 2:

There'll be another song for me
And I will sing it
There'll be another dream for me
Someone will bring it
I will drink the wine while it is warm
And never let you catch me looking at the sun again
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of in my life
You'll still be the one.

I will take my life into my hands and I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
And my passion flow like rivers from the sky.
And after all the loves of my life
And after all the loves of in my life
You'll still be the one and I'll ask myself, why

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took too long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again! Again!

Yo, did you know that the Four Tops recorded a version of "MacArthur Park" that went to number 38 in 1971? And Waylon Jennings covered it too! :lol:

Yo, did you know that the Four Tops recorded a version of "MacArthur Park" that went to number 38 in 1971? And Waylon Jennings covered it too! :lol:
I love Weird Al's parody of that

As I've noted, you can summarize eighties pop when you realize that the decade's first number-one hit was "Babe Please Don't Go" by KC and the Sunshine Band (week endng January 5, 1980), and its last was "Another Day In Paradise" by Phil Collins (week ending December 30, 1989). In with a bore, out with a bore. :lol:

you keep using this statement, but you know you can say the same thing about the 1970's (started out with B.J. Thomas' "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" and ends with "The Pina Colada Song") and 1990's (starts out with Michael Bolton's "How Am I Supposed To Live Without You" and ends with the superoverrated "Smooth" by Santana and Rob Thomas), so it's not like either decade had it better if you solely count the bookends (I'd consider Phil's song the best of the six personally... even tho I wasn't wild about the song)... and the 2000's doesn't look to be any better, it started with Savage Garden and lord knows what crap will be #1 in December 2009.

However, POP was the best thing to come out of the 80's... wanna bash the corporate/arena rock of the day, go right ahead... but a lot of people consider 1984 to be the best year in pop music ever (or at least second to 1964).

you keep using this statement, but you know you can say the same thing about the 1970's (started out with B.J. Thomas' "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" and ends with "The Pina Colada Song").

Well, several people have. In with B.J., out with Rupert, with Helen Reddy, Tony Orlando, Barry Manilow, Olivia Newton-John, Terry Jacks, and the Captain and Tentille in between. In fact, some folks have noted that "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head" was number one for the entire month of January 1970 (something that wouldn't have happened if people hadn't associated the song with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, the movie from whence it came), and thus set the standard for the decade's remaining 119 months! :lol:

By the way, if you keep track of the decades the way you're supposed to according to the Christian calendar - which has no year zero, so years ending in "1" are the first years of decades - and look to see what was number one at the beginning of January 1971 and the end of December 1980, then the bookends are "My Sweet Lord" by Goerge Harrison and "(Just Like) Starting Over" by John Lennon. This leads to the obvious conclusion about the 70's - it was a decade in which Baby Boomers just couldn't let the Beatles (or other sixties veterans) go.

Which is partly why punk started.

that is true to the extent, but as long as an atist stays top notch, no need to let go. Hell, Elton and Bowie have been around an ungodly number of years, but they're still making top-notch music even in their late 50's.

I wanna know how The Pina Colada Song made it to number 1. I mean, it's catchy, sure, but it gets really annoying after awhile.

OMG another annoying song that I would love to Kill is the Macarena..... and I have to listen to it at every school dance I chaperone... :barf:

I have the original version by Richard Harris on a 45. He was a one hit wonder turned into an movie actor. The original was hit #2 on WABC's survey back in 1968. The Four Tops version didn't hit very well in New York City. It was from their 1968 album "Now" later re-released as "MacArthur Park". I have that song from the triple album "Anthology". Donna Summer made it big as Donna's version went to #1 in NY on WABC's survey back in November of 1979. The song stayed at #1 for 5 weeks. Has anybody heard Vic Damone's version of "MacArthur Park"? I have it on CD. Andy Williams did that version as "MacArthur Park (Part 2)" off the album "Love Theme From 'The Godfather'". I have it also on a record. There were several different versions of the same song. One who could expect is Weird Al doing a parody of an original song "MacArthur Park" into "Jurassic Park".:lol:

Who let the dogs out by the Baha Men. I HATE that song! Grrr, it's SO annoying!

I AGREE!

I wanna know how The Pina Colada Song made it to number 1. I mean, it's catchy, sure, but it gets really annoying after awhile.That's really interesting about why a song like that got to #1 in 1979, and I have a theory: The 70's were a very different decade compared to the 60's. In the 60's, people were pretty much more or less into everything equally, rock and roll like the Beatles co-existed with Motown r & b like the Supremes on the charts. One time during the 60's, a white band like the Young Rascals announced, after a black group was attacked by rednecks down south, that they would not appear on a festival show without at least one black r & b band on the bill. Rock and roll, psychedelic, blues, r & b, folk, was pretty much all embraced by young people back then, which influenced each others' musical styles.

So in the 70's, after The Beatles broke up and the Motown scene was at an end, and many big names of the 60's had died, the industry was busy looking for "The Next Big Thing", and began to create pop radio formats to that end to appeal to different demographics of young people. Rock and roll stopped being "and roll" and just became ROCK with the emergence of heavy metal, corporate-friendly pop-folk bands like America sprang up, funk and soul appealed directly to black audiences as white audiences shifted away. The music industry began to value the spontenaiety of the 60's less and demanded more radio-accessible product. Hence the formulas of Top 40 and Album-Oriented Rock. In the middle of the 70's punk from Britain challenged the whole boring, bloated and predictable rock star fluff pop mentality, but by the end of the decade, the punk scene had dissipated into trendy, quirky new wave synth pop to show that former disco fans could still be cool and sophisticated, "tres punk" (without the safety pins through the nostrils). But for people who thought even the whole new wave thing was too radical, there was still that safe, accessible radio pop format in 1979.

Hence, "The Pina Colada Song" by Rupert Holmes. Perfect for making out in that Chevy Van with the cool starlight unicorn paint job outside of town. :love:
