WORST NUMBER 1 HIT of the EARLY 1970s? (Part 2)

[NightTrain]

Put on your wetsuits, we're heading for the gutter!

[EstimatedProphet]

1. I want to vote for all of them!

Can't that be an option?

[Fight_n_back]

2. Sky Rockets in Flight

Afternoon delight!!

Somehow I just can't get myself to forget "Starland Vocal Band".

Here is another really bad hit song...

Billy don't be a hero..don;t be a fool with your life
Billly don't be a hero come back and make me your wife
and as he started to go...she said, "Billy keep your head loo ooo ow

Billy don't be a hero
come back to me


What relavent information DON'T I know because that shit is stuck in my brain?

[Norbert]

3. Everybody was "Kung Fu Fighting"

Or will there be a mid-1970s worst?

[NightTrain]

8. Yes, there *will* be a mid-1970s poll. Look for it soon!

Hee-hee-hee....

[dolo amber]

4. Where does the gawdawful

"Wildfire" come into play? x(

"Oh, they say she died one winter
When there came a killing frost
And the pony she named Wildfire
Busted down its stall
In a blizzard he was lost..." :puke:

Just give me a gun, please...


:D

[Fenris]

5. "Mama's Family" sucked

Screw Vicki Lawrence! :D

[shoopnyc123]

6. You forgot Captain and Tenille...

"Love will keep us together"

[Kat45]

7. This list is much, much worse than Part 1.

I absolutely despise every song on that list. Did I say "despise"? I couldn't even vote, because that would imply that some of the songs had a quark's worth of merit; they don't.

Yes, the reaction is definitely :puke:

[tigereye]

9. wow so many choices - how did we survive such a deluge?

had to be Seasons in the Sun. But it was a little difficult to decide.

[mac56]

16. This was the music that made punk rock necessary.

[tigereye]

19. couldn't agree more, but I didn't know that until I got to college

in the late seventies and found out about the Clash, the Ramones and the Sex Pistols.

[Norbert]

10. I did vote for Touch Me in the Morning

After first hearing that song the excellence of Where Did Our Love Go seemed like a very long time ago.

[dbt]

11. "Tie A Yellow Ribbon" has done immeasurable damage!

The meaning of the gesture has been completely misinterpreted from the story line of the song: "I'm comin' home, I've done my time."

Somehow the Murkin Public has twisted the expression of forgiveness for a convicted criminal into "Support our troops."

Feh.
:puke:

12. I loved Blue Swede's version of "Hooked On A Feeling"!

Love those ooga-shakas.

Voted for Vicki Lawrence.

[Algorem]

13. "Chick-A-Boom (Don't Ya Just Love It)":The horror.

The horror. http://www.members.aol.com/deafdude2/lyric/index.htm

[Hand]

14. Gaaaaah!!!!....MY EARS! MY EARS!

Man--I started scrolling down that page... couldn't get far. I'll have audio nightmares for months now.

:scared: :wow: :nuke:

[Algorem]

20. guess "Chick-A-Boom (Don't Ya Jes' Love It)" was only #9.Just seemed

like it was #1.For weeks.Months.Bad.So very bad. http://www.theiceberg.com/artist/10261/daddy_dewdrop.html The guy(Richard Monda) was born in Cleveland.I knew something very bad had to be wrong with whoever would commit this atrocity on humanity. http://www.top40db.org/Songs/ID_71034.shtml

[Mixxster]

15. So, it's not just me.

I always hated Seasons in the Sun.

[Westegg]

17. How could you ignore these 2 toxic gems in yer poll:

Joey Heatherton's "Pillow Talk" and Paper Lace's "The Night Chicago Died"?

[Westegg]

18. Sorry! I see Paper Lace was in Part 1 of the poll. But...

... I'm sticking with that Joey Heatherton track.

[NightTrain]

21. The Joey Heatherton song (mercifully) was not a #1 hit.

n/t

[Dogmudgeon]

22. Pillow Talk was a hit for Sylvia

Her name was just "Sylvia".

Actually it wasn't a bad song. Orgasmic moaning in music has to be blamed on Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin for "Je T'aime". If you ever have a chance to listen to a cover version of "Je T'aime" without the bed chatter, you'll discover a great song.
