Robby Van Winkle better known as Vanilla Ice
On the wings of love,
Up and above the clouds.
The only way to fly
Is on the wings of love.
On the Wings of Love–Jeffrey Osborne

Mona, nice to see you back!
Do it right
Take me through the night
Shadow dancin’
Forty kilometers in a leaky old boat
Any old thing that will stay afloat.
I’ve forgotten a lot of the lyrics
And I won’t Google.
Twenty-six miles across the sea
Santa Catalina is a’waitin’ for me.
Santa Catalina. the island of
Romance, romance, romance, romance.
26 Miles (Santa Catalina)–The Four Preps
I’m going to bed now. Must get up at 2 am to go to work. Ugh.
Maybe in the morning you’ll remember the difference between bad songs and true DRECK?
"Dontcha know that I
Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
Oh I’m just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah…"
[sub]'cuse me while I stomp some ‘California Raisins’…[/sub]
Four Preps:
Down by the Station
(early her-to-him ‘piss off’ number, with sugary-sweet chorus singing the following:)
"Just head on down by the station early in the morning
Catch yourself a trolley car that goes into the sea
I want a love that’s true sir, not a love like you sir
You weren’t true to one and two
You won’t be true to me
(you go)
Down by the station, early in the morning
See the little puffer-bellies all in a row
See the station master pull the little handle
Chug, chug, woo, woo, off they go…"

spaces between smilies and punctuation…
spaces between…
A Brand new Day! The possibilities are limitless…
But, for now, we’ll stick to:
"When I was just a little girl,
I asked my mother,
“What will I be? Will I be pretty?
Will I be rich?”
Here’s what she said to me:
“Que sera, sera,
Whatever will be, will be;
The future’s not ours to see.
Que sera, sera, What will be, will be.”
Happy Heathen
Oh, I didn’t know that rap was disallowed, I think that some rap can easily rise to the level of dreck, however in the spirit of this I offer:
But when you touch me like this
And you hold me like that
I just have to admit
That it’s all coming back to me
When I touch you like this
And I hold you like that
It’s so hard to believe but
It’s all coming back to me
(It’s all coming back, it’s all coming back to me now)
celine dion, it’s all coming back to me
a classic stomach-turner, while things are slow…
“Volare, oh oh
Cantare, oh oh oh oh
Let’s fly way up to the clouds
Away from the madd’ning crowds…”
My 200th post, and I think it’s in the same thread my 100th was. Here’s one each from the '70’s, '80’s, and '90’s.
'70’s (a little Pat Benatar):
We are young.
Heartache to heartache, we stand
No promises, no demands
Both of us knowing
Love Is a Battlefield
'80’s (Bon Jovi)
An angel’s smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your finger tips
. . .
Your first kiss was your first kiss good-bye
O-o-o-oh, you’re a loaded gun.
No one can save me; the damage is done
Shot through the heart and you’re to blame
You Give Lo-ove a Bad Name (bad name).
I play my part and you play your game.
You Give Lo-ove a Bad Name (bad name).
'90’s (annoyingly stupid drek)
I’m Not Aware of Too Many Things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean.
CJ
Drek, glorious drek!
I’m willing to write it!
Three bad songs a day,
My favorite diet!
Happyheathen, I admire your vast knowledge of music. With all due respect, I submit the theory that one man’s dreck is merely another’s bad song. I stand by the dreckiness of all of my submissions.
Here are a couple more.
We had a once in a lifetime
But I just couldn’t see it
Until it was gone.
A second once in a lifetime
May be too much to ask,
But I swear from now on
If ever you’re in my arms again,
This time I’ll love you forever.
If Ever You’re In My Arms Again–Peabo Bryson
Here I am, the one that you love,
Askin’ for another day.
Understand the one that you love
Loves you in so many ways
The One That You Love–Airhead Supply
This little nightmare should meet any definition of dreck.
Hello!
Is it me you’re looking for?
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You’re all I’ve ever wanted
And my arms are open wide
Because you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much
I love you
Lionel Ritchie
Every day when the work is behind you
And the shop and the store put a lock on the door.
Just get away where your worries won’t find you.
If you like, then I’ll tell you more.
I know a place, where the music is fine
And the lights are always low.
I know a place where we can go.
I Know a Place–Petula Clark
ahem bacj to the trueky dreadful:
from [i[Dickey Lee*, who brought us “Patches” (who drowned herself in the “dirty ol’ river”)
Laurie (Strange Things Happen)
"Last night at the dance I met Laurie
So lovely and warm
An angel of a girl
Last night I fell in love with Laurie
Strange things happen in this world
As I walked her home she said it was her birthday
I pulled her close and said
Will I see you any more?
And suddenly she asked for my sweater
And said that she was very, very cold
I kissed her goodnight at her door and started home
Then thought about my sweater
And went right back and said I knocked at her door
And a man appeared I told him why I’d come
And he said
You’re wrong son
You weren’t with my daughter
How can you be so cruel
To come to me this way
My daughter left this world on her birthday
She died a year ago today
A strange force drew me to the graveyard
I stood in the cold I saw the shadows gleam
And then I saw my sweater
Lying there upon her grave
Strange things happen in this world"
Now you know what ‘DRECK’ means…
Oh, you poor thread, down here on the second page, I DO hope those nasty “other” threads didn’t hurt you…
"Sa-a-a-d movies always make me cry
He said he had to work so I went to the show alone
They turned down the lights and turned the projector on
And just as the news of the world started to begin
I saw my darlin’ and my best friend walk in
Though I was sittin’ there they didn’t see
And so they sat right down in front of me
When he kissed her lips I almost died
And in the middle of the color cartoon I started to cry…"
Sad Movies (Always Make Me Cry) Sue Thompson 1961
I really hate this guy. Every time I hear his voice I cringe. Mercifully, his he disappeared about ten years ago.
Another sleepless night I can’t explain
Somebody said they heard me call your name
The radio won’t let you leave my mind
I know it’s over but I don’t know why
Should’ve known better
Than to fall in love with you
Now love is just a faded memory
Should’ve known better
Now I’m a prisoner to this pain
And my heart still aches for you
There was no risk that I wouldn’t take
And not a promise that I didn’t make
All I asked was that you just hold on
And now I’m wondering what I did wrong
Chorus
I gave you all of my body and soul
Never believing we might lose control
I took my hands off the wheel
I can’t remember if the lies were true
It’s been a million years since I touched you
I thought time might help me win this game
But being away from you is slowly driving me insane
Chorus out
Richard Marx
Moody Blues, 198-something…
Once upon a time, once when you were mine
I remember skies, reflected in your eyes.
I wonder where you are,
I wonder if you think about me
Once upon a time, in your wildest dreams.
Once the world was new, our bodies felt the morning dew
That greets the brand new day, we couldn’t tear ourselves away.
I wonder if you care,
I wonder if you still remember
Once upon a time, in your wildest dreams
And when the music plays,
And when the words are touched with sorrow,
When the music plays
I hear the sound I had to follow,
Once upon a time.
Once beneath the stars, the universe was ours.
Love was all we knew, and all I knew was you.
I wonder if you know,
I wonder if you think about it
Once upon a time, in your wildest dreams
And when the music plays,
And when the words are touched with sorrow,
When the music plays
I hear the sound I had to follow,
Once upon a time.
Once upon a time, once when you were mine
I remember skies, reflected in your eyes.
I wonder where you are,
I wonder if you think about me
Once upon a time, in your wildest dreams.

"I took my little Jenny to a party last night
At ten o’clock it ended in a heckuva fight
When someone hit my Jenny she went out like a light
Poor Jenny
And then some joker went and called the cops on the phone
So everybody scattered out for places unknown
I couldn’t carry Jenny so I left her alone
Poor Jenny
Well Jenny had her picture in the paper this mornin’
She made it with a bang
Accordin’ to the story in the paper this mornin’
Jenny is the leader of a teenage gang…"
such a boyfriend…
