Naff American songs from the 70s/80s.... come here if you are as old as me

[PuppyMonkey]

Was listening to the radio yesterday when that song came on....

Him, him, him
What's she gonna do about him
She's gonna have to do without him
Or do without
Me, me, me
Etc

Ooh, I had a moment of guilty pleasure. Missed who sang it though..

I also liked Dean Friedman:

You can thank your lucky stars
That we're not as smart
as you'd like to think we are...
(with the memorable lines... "Did you see Lisa? Yes i saw Lisa? That why you're angry. I wasn't angry.)

And the Pina Calada one.

I need an ablum of naff American songs immediately

Oh no, is there no-one as old as me????

I will not give up....

How about anything by Foreigner? They were naff.
REO Speedwagan were borderline...'Take it on the run baby...'

absolutely cringeworthy, PM

A bit later on but the song by Tiffany 'I think we are alone now' is up there with them as is Debbie Gibson 'Love, only in your deams...' (Must check that tune out on Itunes actually!!)

Actually if you are going to post on this thread you should youtube Oh shit!

Oh, I hate that Lucky Stars song and now it's going round in my head!!

Hooray people looked at my thread! And posted Foreigner.... er.... hooray!!!

My big sister used to be obssessed with REO Speedwagon.. Terrible.

Chicago- If you leave me now
you'll take away the biggest part of me
oooooooooooooh ohoh

That "I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me" song. That was a classic.

Ooh yes... I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't s'posed to see.

'him him him...' is by Rupert Holmes, who also sang the Pina Colada song. I have the 'LP' that they;re on! (Brill 'story' songs!)

dead skunk?

Oh naff-tastic FoJo, I might have to get that album. I should have known they were by the same person really.

Of course there were also all the Barry Manilow classics... Bermuda Triangle and etc.

And let's not forget John Denver...

What was that one about trucking that involved whatever that trucker radio thing is called?

...looks like we got us a convoy??????

Yay! Convoy!

(please note the clip was put on Youtube by EddieStobartMan )

Git, am staggered yuo have REO Speedwagon as 'borderline' naff. Nooo, they are heavy duty naff.

We were singing the Pina Colada song last w/end as i had a party and made them. I blasted out a few lines as i handed them out.

Guffaw at 'Did you see Lisa?'

I have Boston 'More than a feeling' on my iPod for gym. Superbly naff!
Love love love it.

All I wanna do is make love to you....

Is another favourite. With the line: We made magic that night.... ooh, he did everything right.

Fantastic Puppy.

Wasn't that Heart?
Those fat birds in corsets with big hair???

It was Heart I think.... she shags another bloke just to get pregnant if I recall.

Really?
Ah,remmeber all those soft focus vds.

Thing is, even then I knew this stuff was supremely naff.

Yeah... the one thing he can't give me, is the one thing you can. Or something!!! grin]

rofl

I have shameful weakness for Huey Lewis.

I swear I left her by the river, I swear I left her safe and sound....

Always a bit about that one. I reckon he did something dodgy to Mary.
