Cheeseball songs you love anyway?

[Paragon]

I gotta go with Clapton/Babyface's "Change The World".

Air Supply, anyone?

[AlCzervik]

1. if you tell anyone i'll be mad

but i'm a huge fan of the Carpenters....wheeww, i said it!

[dolo amber]

23. Just for the record...

"Superstar" is one of the greatest songs...EVER. :)

[dolo amber]

2. OMG

Flock of Seagulls - "Space Age Love Song"

That still makes me melt.

I saw your eyes,
And you made me smile;
For a little while
I was falling in love.

I saw your eyes,
And you touched my mind.
Although it took a while,
I was falling in love.

:loveya:

[tigereye]

3. Walking on Sunshine

Katrina and the Waves.

[AwakeAtLast]

4. "That Thing You Do"

And the movie. There, I said it, whew!

[Paragon]

5. No shame in that one.

The song (and the movie) are supposed to be popular and disposable.

Plus, the Chris Isaak cameo just adds to the coolness.

[AwakeAtLast]

9. Very true

But it is about as chesseball as I can stand. And yes, Chris Isaak can be a cameo in just about anything and I would be happy.

[Paragon]

17. Steve Zahn is great in that movie, too.

After I saw him in that and Out of Sight, I was a fan.

[CO Liberal]

6. ***singing*** FEELINGS.....

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa Feelings......

There - I said it!!

:-)

[Bertha Venation]

10. Dime. Solamente dime.

I used to know the whole thing in Spanish.

[Bertha Venation]

7. I love many such songs, one of which is regularly trashed on DU.

"Afternoon Delight." LOVE that song. (Maybe because it's one of the first I played by ear. Realizing I could play by ear was like learning to read. It was life-changing.)

I also like

"You Needed Me" Anne Murray

"Rainbow Connection" Kermit the Frog

"I'm Going To Go Back There Someday" Gonzo the Whatever

"You Left Me Just When I Needed You Most" ???

I'll probably come back with more as they come to me.

Oy!

"Pilot of the Airwaves" Charlie Dore

[dolo amber]

12. Dude!

(ess!) :D

Rainbow Connection is a CLASSIC. There is NO shame in lovin' the frog. ;)

[Bertha Venation]

14. I confess. I am a froglodite.

Frog-lover. :)

[fudge stripe cookays]

26. Another Muppet fan!

"Movin Right Along....footloose and fancy freee....."

I absolutely adore Charles Durning in that movie.

"Hello mah lil green friend!!!
A'hm Doc Hoppah! Of Doc Hoppah's Frinch frahd froglegs!!"

heee heee.

I still sing the Rainbow Connection when I get sad (in my Kermit the Frog voice, yet!)

8. The ultimate in cheesy disco...

"Dance With Me" by Peter Brown. I LOVE my "Best of TK Records" CD.

Anyone know a good 12 step program?

[dolo amber]

15. Yes.

You must come to Dolo's Techno Academy to learn what 'Dance with me' should mean. :D

I swear, if it's the last thing I do I'll make you silly Americans appreciate techno...:P

19. Let The Eagle Soar!

By John "the Crisco Kid" Asscrotch and the Posse Comitatus

Let the eagle soar,
Like she's never soared before.
From rocky coast to golden shore,
Let the mighty eagle soar.
Soar with healing in her wings,
As the land beneath her sings:
"Only god, no other kings."
This country's far too young to die.
We've still got a lot of climbing to do,
And we can make it if we try.
Built by toils and struggles
God has led us through.

Let the eagle soar,
Soar with freedom in her breast
So long as she's appropriately dressed
And not exposing her chest.
As the lands beneath her say
"Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away."
But we shall overcome.
We won't let the First Amendment
stand in our way.
O, let the eagle soar,
but the Bill of Rights ignore
'cause we're in a state of war
Yes, let the mighty eagle soar.

[Dogmudgeon]

22. I like a lot of that 1970s love music

You know, just you, your Lady, England Dan and John Ford Coley, a bottle of Boone's Farm, a few grams of kind bud, half a gram of Peruvian Flake, a new tube of spermicide and a clean sheet over your beanbag chair.

And no 70s collection would be complete without:

Ariel (Dean Friedman)

I always wanted a girlfriend like Ariel. And Gawd blessed me with four or five of them. Which is probably why I need therapy to this today.

You know, I hated most of that stuff while I was there -- I was a teenager in the 1970s. But time has rendered my mind mush, so I enjoy the hell out of them now when they come on over the grocery store music system. And some of them really are good songs.

24. Why is it...

That the best radio station in any city is the one in the grocery store?

[fudge stripe cookays]

27. A man after my own heart!

'Cept for the Peruvian marching powder. :-)

I drive reprehensor insane with my nostalgia for bad 70s pop music. I find it more fun to listen to than the standard dinosaur rock.

Cheers!
