These two songs came out about the same time, about 1973 0r '74. When one wasn't playing the other one was. Over and over and over and over and over again. No lie: I hated these two songs so much that I stopped listening to the radio, because they seemed tobe on every station! And I just got out of the habit of listening to the radio. Even now I only listen to news stations and talk shows.
and there's:
"Lightning Strikes" by Lou Christie, about a guy who wants to fool around with any chick that catches his eye, but feels his girlfriend should remain untouched until he is finally ready to settle down....

The Joker, Steve Miller Band
some people call me the space cowboy

but don't you worry baby, don't you worry mama
cause I'm right here right here right here at home
cause I'm a picker I'm a grinner i'm a lover and I'm a sinner
Playing my music in the sun
I'm a joker I'm a smoker i'm a midnight toker
I sure don't want to hurt no one

My Sharona, The Knack
Ooh my little pretty one, pretty one.

Such a dirty mind. Always get it up for the touch
of the younger kind. My my my i yi woo. M M M My Sharona...

Always get it up for the touch
of the younger kind. My my my i yi woo. M M M My Sharona...
When you gonna give it to me, give it to me.
It is just a matter of time Sharona
Is it just destiny, destiny?
Or is it just a game in my mind, Sharona?
Never gonna stop, give it up.
Such a dirty mind. Always get it up for the touch
of the younger kind. My my my i yi woo. M M M My Sharona...

Hahaha Cheryl! Gravid just hates that Muskrat Love song! It's pretty sick, isn't it? Actually, the whole Captain & Tenille thing was pretty sick!

Hi KC! You got that right - especially about Supertramp... what a joke. I don't mind the Bee Gee's. I've got a good stereo & their music is always so well recorded. I'm not fussy about Prince either, but his CD's sound awesome.
"Watching Scotty Grow" & "Goodbye Pappa it's Hard to Die" LMHO!!!!

LOL @ Watching Scotty Grow
Also by Mac Davis
Baby, Don't Get Hooked on Me
Girl, you're a hot-blooded woman-child
And it's warm where you're touchin' me
But I can tell by your tremblin' smile
You're seein' way too much in me
Girl, don't let your life get tangled up with mine
'cause I'll just leave you, I can't take no clingin' vine
PATCHES Clarence Carter
So every morning 'fore I went to school
I fed the chickens and I chopped wood too
Sometimes I felt that I couldn't go on
I wanted to leave this but I wanted a home
But then one day a strong rain came
And washed all the crops away
And at the age of thirteen I thought I was carrying
The weight of the whole world on my shoulders
And you know, mama knew what I was going through, Cause
Everyday I had to work the fields
Cause that's the only way we got our meals
You see, I was the oldest of a family
And everybody else depended on me
And this was really bad.
What a sappy, crappy song! (Leanne Rhymes)
And tell me now
How do I live without you
I want to know
How do I breathe without you
if you ever go
how do I ever, ever survive
how do I, how do I, oh how do I live
How do I live without you?
How do I live without you, baby?
How do I live without you?

That weepy song that Celine Dion and Barbara Streisand did a few years ago. They played it so many times over and over that it counts for all three.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about another really bad song: "Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro
HONEY
See the tree how big its grown,
but friend it hasn't been too long,
it wasn't big
I laughed at her, and she got mad,
the first day that she planted it
was just a twig.
Then the first snow came
and she ran out to brush the snow away
so its wouldn't die,
Came running in all excited,
slipped and almost hurt herself
and I laughed till I cried.
She was always young at heart,
kind of dumb and kinda smart,
and I loved her so...
And I suprised her with a puppy,
kept us up all christmas eve
two years ago
And it would sure embarras her,
when I came home from working late
and I would know
That she'd been sitting there and crying,
over some sad and silly
late late show...
She wrecked the car and she was sad,
and so afraid that I'd be mad,
but what the heck...
Tho' I pretended hard to be,
guess you could say she saw through me,
and hugged my neck...
I came home unexpectedly
and caught her crying needlessly,
in the middle of the day
and it was in the early spring
when flowers bloom and robin sing,
she went away...
Chorus:
And Honey I miss you...
and I'm being good,
and I'd love to be with you
if only I could...
One day when I was not at home
and she was there and all alone,
the angels came
Now all I have is memories of Honey
and I wake up nights
and call her name...
Now my life's an empty stage
where Honey lived and Honey played
and love grew up...
A small cloud passes overhead
and cries down on the flowerbed
that Honey loved
...And see the tree how big its grown,
but friend it hasn't been too long
it wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad,
the first day that she planted it
was just a twig...

WILDFIRE
Michael Murphy
She comes down yellow mountain on a dark flat land she rides
On a pony she named Wildfire
With a whirlwind by her side
On a cold and drafty night
Oh they say she died one winter
When there came a chilling frost
And the pony she named Wildfire
Busted down his stall
In a blizzard he was lost
She ran calling Wildfire (3 times)
By the dark of the moon I planted
But there came an early snow
There's been a hoot owl howling outside my window now
For six nights in a row
She's coming for me I know
And on Wildfire we're both gonna go
We'll be riding Wildfire (3 times)
On Wildfire we're going to ride her
Gonna leave it all behind
Yes she's always shining right out of my mind
Riding Wildfire

Oh, I'll be thinking about it all day and then post again tonight. FUN! I think some of them aren't so bad until you hear them a million times when they come out and then every time you're scanning channels on the radio you hear them again. I never did understand that song the Dixie Chicks did, "Earl's Gotta Die" or something like that, seemed in bad taste to me. And then I saw part of the video for it for the first time the other night and they were carrying a body around in a trash bag and dumping it somewhere, it apparently was supposed to be funny but it didn't strike me that way.

Hey, what about all those songs William Shatner & Leonard Nimoy put out, or have they been banned? I heard one on the radio one day and couldn't stop laughing. It was Shatner trying to sing, well he was talking really, like a Shakespearean thespian, with space age synthesized music in the background. Talk about taking yourself way too seriously!!
