Complete with a puppy, homelessness, a drunken parent, and child (and puppy!) sudden death, Dolly Parton’s [Me and Little Andy](http://www.lyricsfreak.com/d/dolly+parton/me+little+andy_20041942.html). More Abba, lately immortalized by Andy Bernard and Here Comes Treble: “Take a Chance on Me”. Anyone else mention Paul Anka’s “Having My Baby”? The beginning early techno opening might make it a little too cool, but Paper Lace’s “The Night Chicago Died” is pretty timeless. When I was 13 I couldn’t get enough of Kansas’ “Dust in the Wind”. Hon. mention to “Point of No Return”. Yes, I was another 70s kid. 😃 ---

I can’t come into these threads anymore. I have just spent too much money that I don’t have on iTunes. Trust me when I say that I had a ton of the songs mentioned. I apparently just had to run and buy the rest!!! Lovin’ it! I would like to see the final list(s), too! ---

Just found the cheesiest version of a song by that all-time poseur – but it’s so good and so well done that I can laugh and dig it all at the same time. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/ByomIJf5n9w/hqdefault.jpg "Tom Waits - Rockpalast 1977 01 Step Right Up") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByomIJf5n9w) (From 1977, the 70s do seem to be the Era of the Big Cheese.)

Morris Albert. I thought I’d never forget his name. It’s not like I haven’t tried. There was a time a working musician couldn’t play a gig without having to do some of “Feelings.” It was the “Achy-Breaky Heart” of the 70s. It’s been 30 years since I played it for a beauty contest while the contestants walked down the runway for freakin’ ever – enough that we vamped through “Feelings” about a dozen times – there’s probably something about that in the Geneva Convention now. I have scars, people. > **[Morris Albert](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_Albert)** > > Maurício Alberto Kaisermann (born 7 September 1951), better known by his stage name Morris Albert, is a Brazilian singer and songwriter best known for his 1974 single "Feelings". > Albert was born into an Austrian immigrant family.

God, there’s another one. I’m starting to think that as 1939 was to classic movies 1976 was the zenith of Classic Cheese. (And the nadir of culture.) Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa. ---

From the film “Nashville”, there was that x-tra cheesy tune: “One, I love you” ~ Richard Baskin, performed by Henry Gibson & Ronee Blakley At first I thought it was an old Dolly & Porter tune… ---

> [@TubaDiva](#): > > There was a time a working musician couldn’t play a gig without having to do some of “Feelings.” There was an installment of “The Gong Show”, back in the late 70s, in which every single performer did “Feelings”. I’m pretty certain that none of them were in on the joke until after they performed. The first one got a pretty good score, the second one got a passable score, and everyone else got gonged. ---

Has anyone mentioned “Convoy”, by C.W. McCall, yet? And, in that same truckers-and-CB-radios vein, back in those days, I listened to country radio. There was an incredibly cheesy song\* called [Teddy Bear](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teddy_Bear_(Red_Sovine_song)), by a guy named Red Sovine, about a little crippled boy who would talk to truckers on his CB radio, and would tell them about how miserable his life was, and how he wanted to ride in a truck. - - the term “song” is only loosely used here…Sovine basically just told a story, with some music playing in the background. ---

> [@Swallowed\_My\_Cellphone](#): > > Of course now I have [this stuck in my head.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt8Q7Fsa_Vs) Thanks. I’ve going “Mee-mee! Mee mee mee mee mee-mee…” all morning. Yues, a great way to start the day. :smack: I am working on a playlist, but I’m volunteering with a sporting event and my non-work hours are now crammed with all sorts of preparation that includes some wilderness first aid training. I’ve been able to peek at the thread, but unfortunately not contribute much. I can say that “Feelings” will not be on the list, unless it’s the Beaker version. It is SO cheesy it borders on the edge of auditory-waterboarding of the soul, the “water” of the “wateboarding” being in fact lukewarm Velveeta. ---

The folks who do the research at XM to put together a playlist like this must have intestinal blockage from all that cheese!
