Understandably so but hopefully you'll like this parody. :)


Goodbye Mad Dog my enemy
We've been fighting since we were three
pushed me down and skinned my knees
Stole my lunch money from me
Now I'll finally be free


Goodbye Mad Dog don't run and hide
Patrol cars are on every side
Now theres a chopper in the air
Yes the cops everywhere
Try to run and they'll be there

You carried knives
You carried guns
You had seasons in the slums
But the results of your crimes
Now has you doing time



Goodbye JJ please pray for me
I was the black sheep of my family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along.

Goodbye Papa I'm off to jail
Don't blame yourself, you didn't fail
Now the end is drawing near
Little children need not fear
Papa please don't shed a tear

We carried knives
We carried guns
We had seasons in the slums
But the results of my crimes
Now has me doing time

We carried knives
We carried guns
We had seasons in the slums
But the results of my crimes
Now has me doing time



Goodbye Ned the wino I see your stoned
I can't stand to drink alone
Every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground
So let's have another round

Goodbye Ned the bottles are dry
And we're really getting high
We need another bottle of rye
But I'm broke and it's no lie
Looks like you'll have to buy



We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the slums
But the wine and the song like the seasons
Have all gone

All our lives we had fun
We had seasons in the slums
But the results of my crimes
Now has me doing time......

We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the slums
But the wine and the song like the seasons
Have all gone.

LOL thats awesome!!! :rotflmao:

Having my baby...I'm a woman in love and a love that's going through me. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww......that was the most grossed out song of the 70s and it was suppose to be sentimental, but it ended being creepy. Paul Anka, shame on you for writing that BS of a love song. That woman might want to get an abortion after hearing you say, "Having my baby" like a trillion times before.

Like the other thread, except it wasn't blogged about. Just our opinions.

1978 - Nick Gilder - Hot Child in the City (despite despising MacArthur's Park as a song)

1979 - Rod Stewart - Do Ya Think I'm Sexy (GOD NO)


What are your picks?




How could Thank You by Sly and the Family Stone make the list?


That song is a jam and they were one of the best bands playing at that time.


Brown Sugar and Got to Give It Up too???


The others I can see

Having my baby...I'm a woman in love and a love that's going through me. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww......that was the most grossed out song of the 70s.


Having eight babies
You already have six and it makes no sense to me
Having eight babies
Fourteen kids now and all artificially

I can see it, your face is glowing
I can see it in your eyes but I still can't believe

That your ,
Having eight babies

You're obsessed with having kids
and it's really showing
eight seeds planted inside you,
and all of them growing,
Are you happy now that you know

That your,
Having eight babies
Now it's fourteen and my work is cut-out for me
Having eight babies,
I'm a single mom but the taxpayers will support me

Didn't have to keep them but you did it on a whim
You could of swept them from your life,
but you wouldn't do it, no you wouldn't do it.

As much as I like Clapton and reggae, it will always be "I Shot The Sheriff"


My skins crawls everytime I hear that thing!!!

And yah, "Having Eight Babies" has to be right up there too!! :lol:

Frankly I would go for nearly all of Clapton's solo stuff as part of the worst for the 70's and since.

Charles - YOU ARE THE MAN!!!! props:

"Ben"-Michael Jackson

"Billy, don't be a Hero"-Bo Donaldson

I simply can't choose any. I love them all too, too much. MusicChoice and "Soul Train" reruns on Saturday afternoons have forced me to love nearly every song released in the decade.

"Having My Baby" comes close, though. REALLY, Anka? REALLY? You're gonna have this chick sing about your JIZZ floating through her uterus?! And it went to #1?! The gorgeous music makes up for the sex ed lyrics.

1970: "War" - Edwin Starr
1971: "Indian Reservation (The Lament of the Cherokee Reservation Indian)" - The Raiders
1972: "My Ding-a-Ling" - Chuck Berry
1973: "You Are the Sunshine of My Life" - Stevie Wonder
1974: "Seasons in the Sun" - Terry Jacks
1975: "Rhinestone Cowboy" - Glen Campbell
1976: "Disco Duck (Part 1)" - Rick Dees and His Cast of Idiots
1977: "Looks Like We Made It" - Barry Manilow
1978: "MacArthur Park" - Donna Summer
1979: "Pop Muzik" - M"War" by Edwin Starr?? :confused: That's a good song!!

Most of the other songs on here blow Tender Chunks, though. puke:

As much as I like Clapton and reggae, it will always be "I Shot The Sheriff"


My skins crawls everytime I hear that thing!!!

And yah, "Having Eight Babies" has to be right up there too!! :lol:
Ever since I was a kid, I have ALWAYS hated Clapton's "I Shot the Sheriff"!! :mad:

I was really surprised when I later actually heard the original song by Bob Marley. It was actually pretty good. :cool: It made sense for Bob Marley to sing it. Clapton CANNOT do reggae. ohno:

You know me too well! :lol:


My hatred of SITS has been legendary here since 2004,ask anyone
:nod: Same here. puke: THE WORST. I think Terry Jacks should have just called it "Seasons Here In The Sun", or "Seasons Happily In The Sun", or something like that. ;)

I hate almost everything that topped the charts in 1979.

Here's my list:

"Gypsys, Tramps, and Thieves" - Cher
"You're So Vain" - Carly Simon
"Crocodile Rock" - Elton John (I'm sorry, but it seems to be overplayed!)
"Brother Louie" - Stories
"Half-Breed" - Cher
"Angie" - The Rolling Stones
"I Shot The Sheriff" - Eric Clapton
"Cat's In the Cradle" - Harry Chapin (OVERPLAYED!)
"Rock 'N Me" - Steve Miller
"You Light Up My Life" - Debby Boone

your having my baby hands down a sidenot here some of you know that im an autograph collector well i found it odd when looking over a list of paul anka signed items that signed songsheets for your haaving my baby go for double the price of a normal paul anka autograph ewww and no i dont have one

^ Forget the 1970s - that was one of the worst songs EVER!! puke:

^ Forget the 1970s - that was one of the worst songs EVER!! puke:


I couldnt agree more

It's my choice for worst song ever, just edging out Madonna's "Justify My Love." That's right, even Madge couldn't make a worse record than this one!

Dave Barry once said that if Person A hates "You're Having My Baby" and if Person B loves "You're Having My Baby," it doesn't mean Person B is wrong. It just means Person B is an idiot. Because there are some songs that are just plain bad, and "You're Having My Baby" is one of them. :lol:

^ :rofl: I LOVE IT!!
