Nice 'accent'Įdison Lighthouse "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)"Įlectric Light Orchestra "Can't Get It Out Of My Head"Įlectric Light Orchestra "Shine A Little Love" Part of their musical war with Steely Dan. Rule of thumb- do not use 'wo-ho-ho' as a lyric Hook "When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman"įor some reason this one gets my wife really angry, so it's valuable- Wes These guys were actually funny but maybe that was just Shel Silversteinĭr. In fact, it was a little bit fright-ening' The Monkees and UB40 do his material better than he doesĭisco Tex and the Sex-O-Lettes "Get Dancin"īo Donaldson and the Haywoods "Billy Don't Be A Hero"Ī bell-bottom soap opera- 'Come back and make me your wife'
John Denver "Thank God I'm A Country Boy" I always thought this would be a good tune for post-operative lobotomites to learn- Wes Using Daffy would have been much funnier than using DonaldĪt least nobody can claim the name of the band is fraudulent- WesĮven more country than Hank Williams at the time Rick Dees and His Cast of Idiots "Disco Duck" 'I'll just use you / then I'll set you free-ee-ee' Jim Croce "I'll Have To Say I Love You In A Song"Ĭrosby, Stills and Nash "Just A Song Before I Go"ĭaddy Dewdrop "Chick A Boom (Don't Ya Jes' Love It)"Ĭharlie Daniels "The Devil Went Down To Georgia" Jackie Wilson is doing somersults in his grave 'Precious and few are moments sweet two can share'Ĭlimax Blues Band "Couldn't Get It Right"Ī shame they didn't stick with 'Machine Gun' and 'Brick House'īut if it didn't exist we wouldn't have heard Eddie Murphy sing it as Buckwheat- Wesīill Conti "Gonna Fly Now (Theme From Rocky)"Ī shame they wouldn't let the Feelies cover this for SOMETHING WILD 'You'll take away the biggest part of me/Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo Baby, please don't go' I don't care how many times this was played as the slow dance at dances, I never got to like it- WesĬhicago "Does Anybody Know What Time It Is" I am proud to say that I got through my newlywed years without once thinking of this song after our reception- Wes I know Sonic Youth likes Karen but what about Richard? They thought they could improve on Smokey?Ĭaptain and Tennille "The Way I Want To Touch You" If the Carpenters can be hip, why can't Toni? It makes about as much sense as "Toys 'R' Us."- WesĬaptain and Tennille "Do That To Me One More Time"Ĭaptain and Tennille "Love Will Keep Us Together" Beefheart once so he has SOME hip credentials The Kinks did a little better with this title- 'It's all part of my rock'n'roll dre-eams'Īt least this was better than the same title by Roberta FlackĪ shame that he had to finally go Number 1 with a kiddie song about his dickĪ lot less funny than his ANIMAL HOUSE cameo where he sang 'I gave my love a chicken that had no bone'ĭid these guys sound constipated or what? 'Ooga-choka!'ĭavid Gates did produced Capt. Sorry guys but Muscle Shoals is a real rhythm section not you 'Oz never did give nothin' to the Tin Man/That he didn't, didn't already have'Ī George Harrison imitation- they flatter him Nostalgia for them was cute for a few seconds but get real- 'see that girl/watch that scene/diggin' the dancing queen'
Also, if we've misquoted a lyric from one of these masterpieces, please let us know. Clothes-pin anyone? I've bolded some of the major offenders, which doesn't mean I 'like' the others better but only that some of the songs are a higher grade of crap than the other manure here. If anybody's stupid enough to think that ALL disco sucks, remember that it's just a bastard son of rhythm & blues just like rock'n'roll is- so they're related, see? Also, the 1970's definitely didn't have a monopoly on shitty music- there was tons of crap unleashed on us in the decade before and after and now also (there's a future article there somewhere). I'm not saying that there weren't ANY good songs during the 70s but there was just a truck-load of waste back then.
brought out violent thoughts of hatred, revenge, etc.made me sick without even listening to it again.
Of course, this stuff is all pretty subjective but I did have a few criteria for what should be here. (thanks to Eric Kauz, Geoff Sisson, Paul Richards, Mark D. (originally from December 1995, updated 1998) Prepared by Billy Bob Hargus along with comments by Wes Clark
