<p>patsmom, Happy Together is what started the thread…</p>
<p>Oh, oh, I just remembered Smoke on the Water. An awful song made more awful that it was the first thing that ever pick-up band learned to play in the 70’s.</p>
<p>…Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don’t think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
And I’ll never have that recipe again, oh no…</p>
<p>Catchy tune, though. Epitomizes the disco era for me. Just never got those lyrics.</p>
<p>I am of the age where I can (barely) remember some of those old doo wop songs (and hubby happens to be 8 yrs older so this is stuff from his youth) and some of those songs have some really silly lyrics.</p>
<p>Duke, Duke, Duke - Duke of Earl - Duke, Duke . . .</p>
<p>Some of them are truly priceless. LOL</p>
<p>I can’t believe that I was already 20 when this song was popular. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>From Horse with No Name:
" … 'cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain." Diagram that phrase. Go ahead, I dare you.</p>
<p>Beach Boys: “Christmas comes this time each year”</p>
<p>Turning japanese is a song with a disgusting hidden meaning.</p>
<p>^^I absolutely hate that song, dte!</p>
<p>Has anyone mentioned the “*…animals on the Discovery Channel *” song? I’m pretty sure someone must have!</p>
<p>^^^It’s called “Bad Touch” by the Bloodhound Gang, BunsenBurner. I used to burn Bachelorette Party CDs for all my friends that were getting hitched, and they had wildly inappropriate songs on them, intermixed with a lot of early-eighties Madonna… only reason I know, I promise!</p>
<p>

<p>I can’t believe we got through the whole Christmas season without the most misguided carol lyric in the world, from “Do You Hear What I Hear”:</p>
<p>“A child, a child, shivers in the cold…
Let us bring him silver and gold!”</p>
<p>I always think, “bring the kid a blanket!!!”</p>
<p>And beat on a drum, just in case he’s sleeping.</p>
