I love it too! And others of its ilk - “Build Me Up Buttercup” springs to mind. “Elusive Butterfly of Love”.

And those oddball things from days gone by “Hey, Little Girl” by Jack Jones; “Honey” by Bobby Goldsboro; “The Men In My Little Girl’s Life” by Mike Douglas.

Nope, my daughter **BloodyL** loves that.

Then again she likes “Never Gonna Give You Up” enough to have it as a ringtone, so what does she know?

☹ That’s all **Tengu** ’s song gets for me.

ETA: And after I submit that, the person above me quotes it, and it’s an unclicked link. I click it, it works. WTF?

Anyways–it’s not as bad as he made it sound, but I find Lady Gaga (who I don’t really like) more palatable.

I bet I’m the only person on this board who likes - nay, loves - the way skunk smells.

I bet I’m the only person on this board who likes “Never Gonna Give You Up” solely on its merits as a song.

Are you sure you’re not confusing this with “We Built This City” by Starship? That’s the song I always hear gets voted worst pop song ever. The respective Wikipedia articles mention how despised the Starship song is, but doesn’t mention any particular loathing for “Tears”.

Nope, I lurves me some. Even better… the liquid from okra pickles, anyone else like okra pickles?

I knew there were slug lovers out there, but we’re not exactly a common bunch. I had to know who was on my side. For when the revolution comes. _eyes **Miller** suspiciously_

You apparently didn’t click on my post itself, but on the quote in one of the posts which tried all-caps replies, thus had every single capital letter - including the one in my name, and the ones in the URL - turned to lower-case. Which broke the URL, since YT URLs are case sensitive.

Josie and the Pussycats rocks. I have the soundtrack.
