If life is a rock and the radio rolls me...

Spooky tooth-You broke my heart so I broke your jaw.
Next question?

Roses for Mama, today’s her birthday
Roses for Mama, today’s her birthday

This is the ultimate dreck about a person who goes into a flower shop to send some flowers to his mom but sees a little girl who is crying cause she doesn’t have enough money to buy her mama a rose for her birthday. The guy buys the rose and then watches as the little girl puts the flower on her mom’s grave. He then goes and gets his own mom a dozen roses and takes the flowers to his mom himself. wah

Whew! I just spent 2 hours reading this thread, and I must say it has brought back a lot of (sometimes painful) memories.

Submitted for your consideration:

Sit down Maggie I think I’ve got something to say to you.

Or

Lay lady lay, Lay across my big brass bed.

Or how about something from the absolute worst female singer ever:
He’s five feet two and he’s six feet four
He fights with missiles and with spears
He’s all of 31 and he’s only 17
He’s been a soldier for a thousand years

mostly right, mermaid. possibly the least PC album title ever: you broke my heart so i busted your jaw. couldnt get away with that one today.

'Tis scary what I have wrought…

Countin’ flowers on the wall
That don’t bother me at all
Playin’ solitaire ‘til dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin’ cigarettes and watchin’ Captain Kangaroo
Now don’t tell me I’ve a-nothin’ to do…

…My Grandpaw taught me how to live off the land, and his taught him to be a business man. But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife, for 43-dollars my friend lost his life. Well I’d love to shoot some beechnut in that dudes eye, or shoot with my colt 45. 'Cause a country boy can survive, a country boy can survi, vie i ive, i i ive, i i iii i i ive…

For this one, let us all put on out cheerleader uniform and chant:

Hey Mickey your so fine, your so fine you blow my mine – HEY MICKEY

That’s a mighty big target you’re a-toting thar son.

Stand By Your Man 'nuff said

*Would Jesus Wear A Rolex On His Television Show?

You done Stomped Upon My Heart And Mashed That Sucker Flat.*

Sorry, I don’t remember any lyrics to those last two.

chief! wondering if and when youd check in again.

country deserves a thread all its own. i THOUGHT this thread was about cheesy 70s numbers…

I THINK the original “ground rules” were that the song had to make the top 40, after Elvis’s “Heartbreak Hotel”. I say that having posted a country one myself. It was too tempting! Country would be a gold mine of this stuff. But sticking with the spirit:

“Sometimes we stand hand in hand by the sea and gaze at the earth and the sky
I turn to you and you melt in my arms, there we are Darling only you and I
And I say to myself, it’s wonderful, wonderful, oh so wonderful my love.”

“Wonderful, Wonderful”, by Johnny Mathis

Released since 1955

Over 1,000,000 sold at retail

Yes, C/W probably does warrent a separate thread (especially since I don’t know many.

Also, we have been avoiding disco - another thread-in-waiting

Maybe leave this one to pop/rock/r&b?

“Blue, navy blue,
I’m as blue as I can be
My steady boy said ‘Ship Ahoy’
And joined the Naaa-aa–veee”

(have no idea who did it - don’t want to know)

[sub]I’ll be nice and NOT point out that ‘C/W dreck’ is redundant…[/sub]

Chances are cause I wear a silly grin
The moment you come into view
Chances are you think
That I am in love with you
Just because my composure slowly slips
The moment your lips meet mine
Chances are
You think my heart till valentine

as a keyboard player in a c/w band, I won’t dignify Heathen’s last remark with a witty comment of my own…

oh,your mama don’t dance
and your daddy don’t rock and roll

oooh! ooh! i got another one.

hot line, hot line
calling on the hot line, for your love, for your love (WHOO!)…
i asked the CIA
if it was OK
to use their private phone…

i dont care what anyone does, but IM stickin to cheesy 70s numbers.

that was the sylvers, by the way, they did ‘boogie fever’ as well.

im on a roll. cant believe no one posted this one.

In a little while from now
If I’m not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top will throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to whoever
What it’s like when you’re shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a church

alone again (naturally) by the immortal one, gilbert o sullivan

more!

Every time I move I lose…when I look I’m in
And every time I turn around…I’m back in love

I get mixed emotions…it’s the way my feelings flow
Excuse me I’m only human…sometimes I…I just don’t know

Every time I move I lose…when I look I’m in
And every time I turn around…I’m back in love again
(do do do do do…back in love again…do do do do do)
Back in love

this song always cracks me up. i mean, that must be tough to go through. how does he keep em all straight? LTD is the name of the band.

someone mentioned the extremely talented hamilton, joe frank, and reynolds (dont pull your love out).

ever notice the lead singer had a speech impediment? in their other smash hit, he sings:

baby baby fawwin in love
im fawwin in love again

pleanty more where that came from.

“One less bell to answer
One less egg to fry
One less man to pick up after
I should be happy
But all I do is cry…”

[sub]I know you’re workin’ for the C-I-A
They wouldn’t have you in the ma-fi-a

Why can’t we be friends?

“I got lumps in my throat when I saw her comin’ down the asile
I got the wiggles in my knees when she looked at me and sweetly smiled
There she is again standin’ over by the record machine
Lookin’ like a model on the cover of a magazine
She’e too cute to be a minute over 17”

One more remark like that, mister, and I’ll be forced to post Kitty Wells’s “Mommy For A Day” in this thread. THEN you’ll be sorry…

This one is applicable cause it was in a commercial in the '70s.

Who wears short short
We wear short shorts
Girls wear short shorts
if you dare wear short shorts…
