Wow.
Glad i could share the pain.

Thanks for the link, Freepster. Ouch.
I'm not the only one who thinks the lyric goes "wrapped up like a dousch", am i?
The more they repeat a line, ad nausem, the less i respect.
Hummm....may explain why Jimmy Buffet don't get played as much. His best songs require ya to "pay too much attention."

The radio station I work at plays "lite" adult contemporary. I noticed a song by Michael McDonald and Patti LaBelle called "On My Own" from the 80s features the line "Now we are talking about getting a divorced and we were never even married."  HUH????

"All That She Wants" by Ace of Base. Thats a bad one all right.

"We Are the World" by Band Aid.

Go suck on a prune, you old Band Aid wankers! Not only was the song a good torture method, but Africans continued to starve while their food rotted on the docks because you distracted everyone from the real problem, namely the dictators who were starving them! Every wanker who puts on a whiny charity concert for no one's good but his own ought to be drowned in a vat of maple syrup as punishment.

Jimmy Buffet doesn't get played much? Can't speak for other areas, but not where I live. "Margaritaville", "Come Monday", "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes", "Volcano", "Cheeseburger in Paradise", "Pencil Thin Mustache", etc. all still get regular radio play on AC and country stations around here. Even the local classic rock stations still give him a play now and then, but less than they did say five years ago . Basically everything on "Songs You Know By Heart", even "Why Don't We Get Drunk" until Clear Channel bought the rock station, got played until a few years ago when stations seemed to start narrowing their play lists even more. But my favorite stuff of his is the old stuff and not too many of the popular ones or the hits.

Another stupid lyrics tune: "Hey Baby" by No Doubt. I've never believed in the idea that if you have even a touch of ska or reggae in your music you are automatically cool, so I've never been a fan of them. But that thing isn't even a full song, just an annoying hook, a chant ("Hey Baby! Hey Baby! Hey!" and that boys say/girls say crap) pretending to be a chorus, and whatever little bit of lyrics Stephani's mumbling in her Betty Boop with a hangover singing voice that I've never been able to hear clear enough to figure out.

Oh, nemo, you don't know the half of it!!  What astonishes me even more is how these songs that were dreadful then get recycled to death and beyond death on "Oldies" stations.  The only people I've ever met in person who enjoy 70's top 40 radio music are either mentally challenged or have a perverse attraction to them sort of like what we do here with our Ed Wood stuff.

Dan Hill's "Sometimes When We Touch" makes me want to claw my eyes out.

Wow, is it just me or does all this 70's music talk just make you want to tune into KBilly's super sounds of the 70's? K.B.I.L.L.Y, home of rock!

"I've got a brand new pair of roller skates..." my Melody or Melanie or something.  Another TERRIBLE seventies nightmare.

You know, I think I'd take any of the 70's songs mentioned in this thread over the likes to Mmmm Bop or Whoomp There It Is.
