9) "MacArthur Park" - Richard Harris

Nothing begs for a metaphor like a lost love, especially one that is so much like a pair of wrinkled trousers. “As we followed in the dance

Between the parted pages and were pressed

In love's hot, fevered iron

Like a striped pair of pantsâ€This song's sole redeeming quality was that, at well over seven minutes in length, it gave radio DJs the opportunity to take a potty break.

I have always hated this song and I couldn't have agreed more. I would have added this song on my own had it not already been mentioned here. I don't even like Donna Summer's version of this song, although it's musically better than the original by Harris. At least you can dance to Summer's!

I was infatuated with Lesley Gore; from the first time I heard it, I have had a problem with this song. And it took three men to write it!

It's My Party

written by Wally Gold, John Gluck, and Herb Weiner

recorded by Lesley Gore

Equally as bad is the 'sequel' to this song, although I'm not sure if the same trio is responsible for writing it:

Judy's Turn To Cry

Recorded by Lesley Gore

'Cause now it's Judy's turn to cry,

Judy's turn to cry,

Judy's turn to cry,

'Cause Johnny's come back to me.

Oh, when Judy left with Johnny at my party

And came back wearing his ring

I sat down and cried my eyes out,

Now that was a foolish thing!

'Cause now it's Judy's turn to cry,

Judy's turn to cry,

Judy's turn to cry,

'Cause Johnny's come back to me.

Well, it hurt me so to see them dance together,

I felt like making a scene.

Then my tears just fell like raindrops

'Cause Judy's smile was so mean.

But now it's Judy's turn to cry,

Judy's turn to cry,

Judy's turn to cry,

'Cause Johnny's come back to me.

(Instrumental Break)

Oh, one night I saw them kissin' at a party,

So I kissed some other guy.

Johnny jumped up and he hit him,

'Cause he still loved me, that's why.

So now it's Judy's turn to cry,

Judy's turn to cry,

Judy's turn to cry,

'Cause Johnny's come back to me.

Yay, now it's Judy's turn to cry,

Judy's turn to cry,

Judy's turn to cry...

Ick!

That is baaaad! Reminds me that Neil Sedaka's (rather good) song 'Oh Carole' was a lovesong to Carole King...it was, honest, and she wrote a reply called...'Oh Neil'....guess which one was the hit!

Here's a real piece o' sh*t...the one-hit wonders by The Contours...

"You broke my heart

cause I couldn't dance

You didn't even want me around

And now I'm back to let you know

I can really shake 'em down

Do you love me? (I can really move)

Do you love me? (I'm in the groove)

Ah do you love? (Do you love me)

Now that I can dance (dance)

Watch me now, oh (work, work)

Ah, work it all baby (work, work)

Well, you're drivin' me crazy (work, work)

With a little bit of soul now (work)

I can mash-potato (I can mash-potato)

I can do the twist (I can do the twist)

Now tell me baby (tell me baby)

Do you like it like this (do you like it like this)

Tell me (tell me)

Tell me

Do you love me? (Do you love me)

Now, do you love me? (Do you love me)

Now, do you love me? (Do you love me)

Now that I can dance (dance)"

If the chick didn't love him before, then why the f**k would she love him now?! Because he could do the mashed potato?! Great, buddy...now you can look like a spastic idiot out on that dance floor, while your so-called "girlfriend" is off in a coat closet somewhere f***in' all your friends! I got an idea....why don't you go to a sporting goods store, buy a bullet and rent a gun?! Loser!!

Telephone Man

Meri Wilson

(Wilson)

-Peaked at #18 in 1977 and was her only hit

-Sold over a million copies

-A "novelty" song

-Produced by Boomer Castleman and Jim Rutledge of "Bloodrock"

I went to my apartment on a Monday at one

A-singin' do lolly, lolly shicky bum, shicky bum

Started movin' in it on a Tuesday at two

A-singin' do lolly, lolly shicky do, shicky do

Wednesday at three I called the phone company, singin':

"Hey baby, put a phone in for me"

Thursday at four he came a-knockin' at my door, singin':

"Hey, baby, I'm your telephone man

You just show me where you want it and I'll put it where I can

I can put it in the bedroom, I can put it in the hall

I can put it in the bathroom, I can hang it on the wall

You can have it with a buzz, you can have it with a ring

And if you really want it you can have a ding-a-ling

Because-a hey baby, I'm your telephone man"

Can you believe that? And then he says:

"Now when other fellas call ya tell 'em how it all began"

Well...can you imagine?

My heart began a-thumpin' and my mind began to fly

And I knew I wasn't dealin' with no ordinary guy

So while he was a-talking I was thinkin' up my plan

Then my fingers did the walkin' on the telephone man

Singin' hey lolly, lolly

Hey lolly, lolly

Hey lolly, lolly

Get it any way you can

Right? Ha ha ha, so...

I got it in the bedroom, and I got it in the hall

And I got it in the bathroom, and he hung it on the wall

I got it with a buzz, and I got it with a ring

And when he told me what my number was I got a ding-a-ling

A-singin' hey lolly, lolly

Hey lolly, lolly

Hey lolly, lolly

Just-a doin' my thing

Ha, ha...I've never done anything like this before!

ummmm I heard this on the radio the other day, somehow I don't remember this from the 70's, and now I know why...LOL....

The best Love song is Dirty Love by Frank Zappa. It is romantic as Zappa got!
