1. My Pal Foot Foot by The Shaggs

I love it in a curiously morbid way.

[progressoid]

4. +1

[Brother Buzz]

8. Frank Zappa truly loved The Shaggs

[KMOD]

9. hmmm

It's ok, but not quite as good as the song I sang in the barn when I was young.

"Man, man, man, I'm in trouble, I'm in trouble, I'm in trouble."
"Man, man, man, on the double, on the double, on the double."


I think my friend Chris played the trashcan, and I played the out of tune guitar.

But man, we rocked it.

[DawgHouse]

12. Yikes, that made my dog howl.

[Xipe Totec]

2. They're Coming to Take me Away

[Brother Buzz]

3. Side 'B' merits a mention

[frogmarch]

42. You beat me to it!

[Art_from_Ark]

5. Yabba, by the Hully Gully Boys

[KMOD]

7. huh........heh.................huh

I kinda like it.

[ButterflyBlood]

6. This one immediately came to mind

[KMOD]

10. Now that's what I'm talking about. Love it!

Thank you.

[cemaphonic]

11. Tubthumping

Stupid, annoying song by a stupid annoying band, but I'll sing along every time if no one is around.

I'll spare you all the real song:

[KMOD]

19. lol

I do like the actual song though.

[underpants]

68. One of my all time lyrics failures

My friends crack up at my inability to understand lyrics. "sugar magnolia" by the Dead - for 15+ years I thought "pays my tickets when I speed" was "feeds my chickens when I sleep".

When Tubthumping was on the radio my buddy turns to me in the car and says "What are the lyrics?" He knew I couldn't possibly understand them.
I heard
"I get up down
But I get up again
'cause it happens on the lead guitar"

I swear that was what I heard. They lost it laughing.

[Iggo]

13. "I see my friends!"

[WinkyDink]

15. But THIS is the performance of "Friday" that was on a GRAMMY-winning comedy album:

[steve2470]

14. Oops I did it Again by Britney Spears

[steve2470]

69. haha I'm the ONLY one who likes this

I always knew I was unique.

Yea yea, she's only famous because of autotune, but I still like it. She won't go down in history as one of the very best pop acts.

[Throd]

16. Everybody Makes Me Barf

[WinkyDink]

17. I win! "Surfin' Bird (Is the Word)," by the Trashmen! I LOVE this song!

[Brother Buzz]

35. Peter is in total agreement

[WinkyDink]

38. Too awesome!

[CrawlingChaos]

18. It's not really THAT bad...

But I'm slightly embarrassed that I like this song so much, and I've certainly been teased for listening to it.

[KMOD]

20. I love Joe Jackson.

No need to be embarrassed for this one.

Me, I like all the songs in this thread, gosh I'm a weirdo.

[smirkymonkey]

98. I love Joe Jackson too!

Thanks for reminding me. I think I will add him to my Pandora list.

[WinkyDink]

39. This is a GREAT song! A lauded one!

[ms liberty]

43. A great song on a really great album!

No shame in loving Joe Jackson!

[CrawlingChaos]

44. well that tears it

Bookmarking this thread for the next time I am mocked for playing it.

It IS a great song

[Arugula Latte]

67. That was one of my favorites in the 80s.

I still like it.

[BlueJazz]

95. Good artist, good song, you got good taste.

[CrawlingChaos]

102. Thanks!

Although I guess it doesn't say much for me that I thought it belonged in this thread. Thanks for glossing over that part

Ever since this thread I've had it in heavy rotation though

[laundry_queen]

21. Even my children hate me for this one

Even being 'anon' does little to absolve me of my embarrassment with this one.

[KMOD]

22. lol.

Yes, but I appreciate it.

[Tom Kitten]

23. Yabadabadoo by Chubb Rock

It just puts a big grin on my face whenever I hear it...and watch the video

[KMOD]

24. It got me dancin'

[CTyankee]

25. my kids liked this one

somehow they got the idea that it was "yummy, yummy, yummy I got love in my stomach..."

[malthaussen]

27. And here I was going to post that...

... Your kids liked it?

-- Mal

[CTyankee]

29. Yeah, they're old and I'm real old...

they also like "son of a preacher man" only they got the lyrics wrong. But they'd bellow out in the car "The only man who could ever teach me,was the son of a pizza man..." I think they were referring to when we'd order out pizza and they'd actually deliver to our house...hence the term "pizza man."

cracked me up, that did...

[malthaussen]

30. Misheard lyrics are the best.

My favorite Christmas carol is probably "Angels will eat ham on rye."

-- Mal

[CTyankee]

36. sounds like Pogo: Deck us all with Boston Charlie, fal a la a la and Kalamazoo...

[malthaussen]

37. Some carol lyrics are funny even when not misheard...

One of the verses of "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" is "Now bring us some figgy pudding," which always cracks me up.

-- Mal

[Special Prosciuto]

94. Walla Walla Wash and Kalamazoo

[CTyankee]

99. thanks. I knew I was missing something...

[bigwillq]

26. Lisa Lisa is awesome!

Loved her and The Cult Jam.

[malthaussen]

28. Since my first choice was already posted...

,,, I'll go with this one, which I learned of through DU:

I choose to believe this proves people were already trolling in 1962.

-- Mal

[Loryn]

31. My mother used to play this.

I remember acting it out very dramatically, it still makes me smile.

[Loryn]

32. And really, who doesn't love a song about cannibalism?

[uriel1972]

66. and here I was thinking...

It would be "I eat cannibals" by Total Coleo

[annabanana]

33. Abba: Fernando

&list=RDdQsjAbZDx-4

[CanSocDem]

34. I don't know what you're suggesting here...

...but this is a great song. Thanks for posting.


.

[Mendocino]

46. ABBA-SOS

I remember in 75, hearing that on AM at night while driving between NW and SE Ohio, my freshmen year at college. I found it beautifully haunting.

[KMOD]

54. Abba rocks, annabanana

Love it all, and will admit to it in public.

[hifiguy]

75. There is something about ABBA.

Even this die-hard King Crimson/Yes/ELP progger swooned the first time I heard "Dancing Queen" and I still swoon every time I hear it. Pure perfection all held down by the godlike bass work of Rutger Gunnarsson.

[KMOD]

84. check this out.

[youtube]

[hifiguy]

93. OMG. Thank you for that!!

I did not know he had passed this year.

As with most of the truly elite players whose names aren't well known to the general public (McCartney, Stanley Clarke, for example), you really have to be a player to know who he is, understand just how good he was, and why. The little flurry he does starting at :25 and especially the little slide/drop to low E/stutter back to the riff into the descending part of the chorus riff at :27-8 is the kind of stuff that makes other bassists look on in sheer awestruck amazement.

[smirkymonkey]

100. I love everything by ABBA!

[lovemydog]

40. I like most of the songs on this thread too.

Some others I like and don't care who knows:

Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus
Fancy by Iggy Azalea
Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head
Call Me Maybe by Carley Jepsen
Convoy by CW McCall (I think)
Midnight Blue by Lou Gramm

I don't make much distinction between 'high' and 'low' art. If I like it I like it and if I don't well whatever I can listen to something else. I love a lot of pop art and pop music. There's something really fun about a cool hook. All of these songs I can sing and imitate and laugh my ass off.

[SwankyXomb]

61. Mercy sakes alive

My brother and I played our 45 of Convoy until the grooves woreeout.

[lovemydog]

77. 'Breaker, breaker one nine...'

I cracks me up. I think that dude made a career out of it. TV movie, sequels, etc.

[uriel1972]

70. Midnight Blue was a great song...

The others err... YMMV

[lovemydog]

78. I learned the song from r.e.m.

believe it or not. They covered it in a concert and it made me listen to it. I love the drums, guitar riff and Lou Gramm's great singing.

[uriel1972]

79. Heh...

REM do a great cover of "First We'll Take Manhattan" by Leonard Cohen.
Come to think of it, I prefer covers of Leonard Cohen to his versions. YMMV

[lovemydog]

80. Yeah, I love their covers.

They inverted a Leonard Cohen tune for a great song on Up, as well.

[LynneSin]

41. I have 'I wonder if I Take You Home' in my morning walk playlist

i partied to that song all the time in the 80s. Still a favorite of mine!

[KMOD]

45. Alright, go easy on me on this one, but I really like it.

[youtube]

[/youtube]

[Special Prosciuto]

49. We used to take that song to pornographic lengths of rhyme

Sometimes when we f...

[KMOD]

50. whaaaaat?

I said go easy.

[Special Prosciuto]

55. Did it have a recent remake? The first one was enough, thank you, Dan Hill.

In the seventies, I and friends always heard this on car radio driving to backpacking trips. We sickened of its crybaby whining wimp psychobabble, so we turned it into a porn sing along.

[KMOD]

56. No, I getcha, I'm just joking around.

My husband does a great? creepy? version of Springsteen's I'm on Fire.

[Iggo]

51. Thread winner!

[KMOD]

52. lol

[CrawlingChaos]

59. I can't even play that

The honesty's too much.

In fact, I have to close my eyes...

and hide.

[KMOD]

60. lol

[Special Prosciuto]

47. Hurricane Smith, 'Oh Babe What Would You Say', 1972

It's a research project only. Undecided and no opinion yet.

[PassingFair]

63. Gotta be Bobby Goldsboro:

[hifiguy]

71. That is just horrendous on every possible level.

I remember hearing it on the car radio as a kid and thinking then how amazingly cheesy it was.

[LuckyLib]

83. Ew-w-w-w-w-w! That song was cringe-worthy when it was brand new!

[hifiguy]

72. Very weird but true fact

He engineered the first Pink Floyd album, the only one made entirely when Syd was in the band.

[betsuni]

48. I never listen to country music, don't like it at all, but I LOVE this song:

[KMOD]

57. Ha! I love it.

I think it might be an earworm though. I hope my family forgives me when I sing it every morning

[Adsos Letter]

53. Tennessee Birdwalk...

[hifiguy]

73. For some inexplicable reason I was obsessed with that song

when it was popular and I was but a lad. Obsessed to the point of completely commiting it to memory. Didn't think about it for forty years but when I read just the title on the intertubes a few years ago and remembered 90% of it on the spot.

[Special Prosciuto]

58. Napoleon XIV - I Live In a Split Level Head

[LiberalElite]

62. I don't like much Christmas music but I do like this (and a lot of people hate it):

[Flaxbee]

64. Aqua and Eddie Rabbit

Aqua - Barbie Girl. This song always, always makes me laugh. The video is a crack up (when her arm pops out at the end... lol) and the fact that Mattel sued the band and lost, and the judge (9th Circuit Judge Alex Kozinski) concluded his ruling by stating that "The parties are advised to chill."

I know don't if Eddie Rabbit is considered bad or not, but I always sing along to these:

AND - with the late, great Michael Jackson singing chorus

[MH1]

65. Mambo No. 5

Okay, I'll admit it to my best friend, but expect to get a strange look.

[Initech]

74. I'll admit that Fall Out Boy has become a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine.

Centuries is a very catchy song, and so is the one that they did for Big Hero 6. And then they had an acoustic performance on my local radio station a few weeks ago and it was great.

[Rhythm]

81. You mean this one? It's now on a couple of my playlist :-D

[Initech]

88. That's it!

Big Hero 6 kicked ass, definitely one of my favorite movies of the last couple of years.

[uriel1972]

76. Of course...

Any song I choose to listen too, is, by definition, a great song.

[Rhythm]

82. "Somebody That I Used To Know" was my earworm for a while...

[kentauros]

85. Portsmouth Sinfonia - Blue Danube Waltz

[KMOD]

86. WTH is that? hahaha

I don't usually like to knock anyone who finds joy in music, but man, I've heard 4th grade elementary school orchestras play better than that.

But the way, every song on this thread is now on my iTunes wishlist.

[kentauros]

87. That was the infamous Portsmouth Sinfonia.

They are the world's worst orchestra, and mighty proud of that fact. So, decades ago, when the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra's "Hooked on Classics" came out, Portsmouth threw down the gauntlet. They weren't going to let some upstart "famous" orchestra be worse than them. So, they released the following:

[BlueJazz]

89. "I like dreaming" (for dreaming can make you mine) Yeah...I know.

[KMOD]

90. oooooohh sweet dream baby, I love you,

ooooooohhh, sweet dream baby, you're in my dreams every night I need you......

[BlueJazz]

92. Few things I learned that's rather obscure is Kenny Nolan wrote songs for Frankie Vallii and...

...many other big names in the music business.
At the age of 13 he won a scholarship to the University of Southern California for Musical composition.

No big deal ...just the strange stuff we learn.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

91. Oh, that's easy

11 1/2 viewers on YouTube!

[JCMach1]

96. Had crush on Lisa Lisa when I was a teenager

[IrishEyes]

97. Honkytonk Badonkadonk

Yes, it is a terrible song but if I ever become a stripper (very unlikely), it will be one of my songs.

[sheshe2]

101. Irish!!!!!

I gotta go, it's late.

I wanted to say hi and give you a hug. So good to see you sweets~

[U4ikLefty]

103. Okay, this is really bad...you've been warned!!!
