I don't care how many times this was played as the slow dance at dances, I never got to like it- WesĬhicago "Does Anybody Know What Time It Is" I am proud to say that I got through my newlywed years without once thinking of this song after our reception- Wes I know Sonic Youth likes Karen but what about Richard? They thought they could improve on Smokey?Ĭaptain and Tennille "The Way I Want To Touch You" If the Carpenters can be hip, why can't Toni? It makes about as much sense as "Toys 'R' Us."- WesĬaptain and Tennille "Do That To Me One More Time"Ĭaptain and Tennille "Love Will Keep Us Together" Beefheart once so he has SOME hip credentials The Kinks did a little better with this title- 'It's all part of my rock'n'roll dre-eams'Īt least this was better than the same title by Roberta FlackĪ shame that he had to finally go Number 1 with a kiddie song about his dickĪ lot less funny than his ANIMAL HOUSE cameo where he sang 'I gave my love a chicken that had no bone'ĭid these guys sound constipated or what? 'Ooga-choka!'ĭavid Gates did produced Capt.
Sorry guys but Muscle Shoals is a real rhythm section not you 'Oz never did give nothin' to the Tin Man/That he didn't, didn't already have'Ī George Harrison imitation- they flatter him Nostalgia for them was cute for a few seconds but get real- 'see that girl/watch that scene/diggin' the dancing queen' Also, if we've misquoted a lyric from one of these masterpieces, please let us know. Clothes-pin anyone? I've bolded some of the major offenders, which doesn't mean I 'like' the others better but only that some of the songs are a higher grade of crap than the other manure here. If anybody's stupid enough to think that ALL disco sucks, remember that it's just a bastard son of rhythm & blues just like rock'n'roll is- so they're related, see? Also, the 1970's definitely didn't have a monopoly on shitty music- there was tons of crap unleashed on us in the decade before and after and now also (there's a future article there somewhere). I'm not saying that there weren't ANY good songs during the 70s but there was just a truck-load of waste back then.
