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

Hilarious Puppy.

You have an instinctive terrier like talent for rooting out worse offenders.

moondog · 05/09/2009 11:33

worst

moondog · 05/09/2009 11:33

Howzabout

Take
These broken wings
And learn to fly again

PuppyMonkey · 05/09/2009 11:37

Ooh yeah, good one.

I think writing the lyrics down on here is funnier thank linking to the you tube clip personally!!

Yes, out of context utterly hilarious

neversaydie · 05/09/2009 17:14

Seasons in the Sun sung by Terry Jacks. Toe-curlingly awful!.

GentleOtter · 05/09/2009 17:30

Deck of Cards was bloody awful.

What was that song when he 'presented her with a puppy', was it Honey? She ends up with the angels.

GentleOtter · 05/09/2009 17:39

Or Kung-Fu Fighting (those kids were fast as lightning, in fact it was a little bit frightening....)

I wonder if Honey ran off with the Hells Angels? Anything to escape the sap with the puppy.

I hear the drums echoing tonight
She hears only whispers of some quiet conversation...

When I went to work as a language assistant in France years ago, the gilr who did the job before me had taught this to the entire school.

I am woman. Watch me grow, see me standing toe to toe as I spread my loving arms across the land. But I'm still an embryo with a long long way to go until I make my brother understand.

MayorNaze · 05/09/2009 19:34

i LOVE the pina colada song

and also..

its the final countdown...

MayorNaze · 05/09/2009 19:34

"we built this city, we built this city on rock and roll"

moondog · 05/09/2009 19:35

Hassled, is that helen Reddy's song?
The embryo bit is toe curlingly bad.

Hassled · 05/09/2009 19:38

Yep, Helen Reddy. Embryo rhymes with toe - inspired, really .

oneofmany · 05/09/2009 19:43

My all-time favourite

Lookin in your eyes I see a paradise
this love that we found is too good to be true
standing here beside you want so much to give you .....

Nothings Gonna Stop Us Now - Starship

moondog · 05/09/2009 19:46

GentleOtter · 05/09/2009 19:53

This has to be one of the worst songs ever made since the creation of the entire universe.

moondog · 05/09/2009 19:54

Wasn't it just GO!
A nasty flashback there.

GentleOtter · 05/09/2009 19:56

I was a little bit sick into my hand looking it up moondog.
