The worst song....

[zvinki]

Many disco era tunes that go something like "my body, your body, everybdoy, my body..." Yuck!! But in the spirit of Rick's thread how about Rush's "I Think I am Going Bald". Maybe because it strikes too close to home but when you combine Geddy's impassioned vocals with such silly lyrics you get a ridiculous song. And I am a huge Rush fan.

Two songs that make me puke.

"Electric Avenue" by...um.....that Jamaican guy

"When Doves Cry" by Prince

You guys are scaring me... I don't know anything by the artist formerly known as the artist formerly known as Prince other than that awful "Rasberry berret" song that, unfortunately, got some radio airtime on the commercial channels.

You never heard When Doves Cry?? It was all the rage in 1984.

The only one I *have* in my collection is the song D.M.S.R. which appeared on the "Risky Business" soundtrack. Other than that song and the "fruity hat" song, I don't think I know anything by the artist formerly known as the artist formerly known as Prince.

Not me. I found out M was pregnant with Kevin in spring of 1999. I was hospitalized and nearly died from a DVT in the summer of '99 and then Kevin was born in the Autumn of '99. Wasn't much partying going on save for a couple of nights in the beginning of '99.

alrighty then....

I was mentioning a song that may have crossed your path. Many times you'll hear something and not realize who it was by.

A half decent video I seem to remember from the "Purple Pain".

Saw him present an award on some z-list celeb awards show in England. He was dressed from head to foot in a pink body suit. He looked like a peeled prawn. The organisers had flown him over at great expense. He was accompanied to the stage by a couple of GIGANTIC minders and the only words he spoke were "Thanks be to God". Then he walked off and out of the building.

What a Jerk!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not very talented on the "lyric-o-meter" when it comes to deciphering meaning, but I always thought (or may have read or been told) that the whole song is a metaphor. "Wall street shuffles there, dressed in flowing hair"...that sort of thing.

I know Neil's the word god, but I'll bust his ass if deserved ("Countdown", the bright "stuff" of dreams, for instance). but I'm pretty sure that's the tenor of "Bald". Let me know what you think...

Impassioned vocals...read: screeching

You obviously know what I am talking about methem. What a catch-22 that was. If you wanted to meet chicks you had to put up with that stuff and dance otherwise you end up a lonely prog-loving geek.

Today the equivalent for that sort of stuff is probably the eurodance music...

Click "House" and then "eurodance"...

Cheap and cheesy: most would consider it much worse than the early disco...

Only if you wanted the shallow chicks.

I knew quite a number of chicks in high school school that loathed disco as much as I. Liz P., Liz K., Sam, Louise, and Mel were all good friends of mine. We listened to the same bands, we went to most of the same concerts, and we did many of the same recreational activities.

When I got to college, there were plenty of the (at that time the term was) JAPs but there were still normal chicks who listened to decent music. There was a band called Yasgur's Farm playing the college area watering holes. There were always women at those gigs looking for some drink, good tunes and reliving the era of free love.

...and I would never have been able to marry a woman who didn't have similar musical interests!

Is this Liz Phair, Sam Cooke, Louise (and Thelma), and Mel from Alice? (or Mel from Grand Funk)

Only if Sam Cooke and Mel Schacher were females.

Just some fine young women from my high school days. Several of them enjoyed a special ride in my yellow 1972 Mustang Grande Sprint!

Not exactly like mine but the closest I could find with a quick googling.
