or, at least, not convicted thereof…
presents a ‘Novelty’ tune, which as discussed previously, Do Not Count:
"Please Mr. Custer,
I don’t wanna go.
Hey, Mister Custer,
Please don’t make me go.
I had a dream last night,
About the coming fight,
Somebody yelled ‘Attack’,
And there I stood with an arrow in my back!
…They were sure of victory,
The men of the Seventh Calvary
As they rode on…
But then from the rear
A voice was heard
The same great voice
Rang load and clear…
Ok, a little more
Planes and boats and trains
they mean a trip to Paris or Rome
for someone else,
but not for me
those planes and those boats and trains
took you away, away from me.
That’s 60s pop dreck, which may be why you didn’t recognize it. And I wasn’t sucking up to Arnold, really! But the measure of a really bad song should be how little you can post and get it lodged into someone’s brain. 
Like “We had joy, we had fun”
One of my fave’s
Ooga shuka Ooga Ooga Ooga Shuka…
I can’t stop this feeling, deep inside of me
Girl you just don’t know what you do to me…

Rico, if’fn you’re all that smart, how come YOU didn’t post Jolene?

Well, with <Carl Sagan> Billions and Billions </Carl Sagan> of songs out there, you can’t expect me to post them all? Or maybe you’d like me to do the *Every Song Ever Recorded on an 8 CD set * infomercial? 
Meanwhile, back at the sock hop…
Is she really going out with him?
Well, there she is. Let’s ask her.
Betty, is that Jimmy’s ring you’re wearing?
Mm-hmm
Gee, it must be great riding with him
Is he picking you up after school today?
Uh-uh
By the way, where’d you meet him?
I met him at the candy store
He turned around and smiled at me
You get the picture? (yes, we see)
That’s when I fell for the leader of the pack
My folks were always putting him down (down, down)
They said he came from the wrong side of town
(whatcha mean when ya say that he came from the wrong side of town?)
They told me he was bad
But I knew he was sad
That’s why I fell for the leader of the pack
“When I was small,
And Christmas tree’s were tall.
We used to laugh while others used to play”
“Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuu-by
(duh duh duh)
Dont take your love to town”
"If I were a carpenter, and you were a lady,
would you still (neh neh …
(sorry, my brain forbids me from remembering any more than that)
“Fat bottomed girls,
They make the rocking world go round”
And finally… the big gun.
(are you ready?)
Stars on 45,
Keep on Shining in your eyes.
We can work it out!
Remember Twist and Shout!
bwahahaha!
Smoke on the water,
Fire in the sky…
Don’t take your guns to town, boy
Leave your guns at home…
and, for the younger set…
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What’s been going on
Now that you have gone
There’s no other…
Okay–here’s dreck-o-rama:
I be STROKIN’!!!
Dat’s what I be doin’.
I be STROKIN’!!!
Dat’s what I be doin’.
I stroke it to da norf,
and I stroke it to da souf,
Sometimes…I even stroke it wit my–WOOO!!!
The night was dark, rain fallin’ down
Looked for my baby she’s nowhere around
Traced her footsteps down to the shore
'Fraid she’s gone forever more
I looked at the sea, and it seemed to say
I took your baby from you away
I heard a voice, cryin’ in the deep
Come join me Baby, in my endless sleep
And so forth. Endless Sleep by Jody Reynolds, circa 1957.
Another “Dead Teenager” song! (my favorite sub-species of Musica Dreckitae)
“For he was born the next of kin,
The next of kin to the wayward wind…”
Ok, if you get off on dead teener songs, here’s another that hasn’t been mentioned:
Chorus:
He wore black denim trousers and motorcycle boots
And a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back
He had a hopped-up cycle that took off like a gun
That fool was the terror of Hi-way 101
He had a pretty girlfriend by the name of Mary Lou
But he treated her just like he treated all the rest
And everybody pittied her 'cause everybody knew
He loved that dog-gone motorcycle best
Chorus
Mary Lou poor girl she pleaded and she begged him not to leave
She said “I’ve got a feeling if you ride tonight I’ll weep”
But her tears were shed in vain and her every word was lost
In the rumble from his engine and the smoke from his exhaust
Then he took off like the devil, there was fire in his eyes
He said “I’ll go a thousand miles before the sun can rise”
But he hit a screaming deisel that was California bound
And when they cleared the wreckage all they found
Was his black denim trousers and motorcycle boots
And the black leather jacket with an eagle on the back
But they never found the cycle that took off like a gun
And they never found the terror of hi-way 101
Black Denim Trousers, or alternatively,The Terror of Hi-way 101 . By Vaughn Monroe, and also done by the Diamonds, around '55 or '56.
De doo doo doo, de dah dah dah
Is all I want to say to you.
De doo doo doo, de dah dah dah
The innocence comes shining through.

Jeremiah was a bullfrog
Was a good friend of mine…
(psssst - De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da was DONE :rolleyes:
time for a cute little duet:
Oh and love, I’ll be that fool for you
I’m sure
That you know I don’t mind
And yes, you’ll be the only one
'Cause no one can deny
This love I had inside
And I’ll give it all to you
My love, my ennnnd-lesssss loooove
but, apparently, only for brief periods. Dilettantes.
"Beach Baby Beach Baby Give me your hand
give me something that I can remember
Just like before we can walk by the shore in the moonlight
Beach Baby Beach Baby There on the sand
from July til the end of September
Surfin was fun we’d be out in the sun every day…"
To kill this thread, and take the crown.
Do you know where you’re going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
“Dust in the wind…
All we are is dust in the wind…”
Dopers! The Shame! only 500 (or so) mentioned? Have ya’ll REALLY suppressed the memories (of the dreck that was)?

On a weekend pass I wouldn’t have time
To get home and marry that baby of mine
So I went to the Chaplin and he authorized
Me to send for my Ebony Eyes
My Ebony Eyes is coming to me
From out of the skies on flight twelve-oh-three…
(Didn’t quit make it, did she?)
From Ebony Eyes, by the Everly Bros.
