Tucked in between all the ernest sixties rock, arcane acoustic stuff and weird psychedelic shit, I have _Hips Don’t Lie_ by Whatsherface and _I Need to Know_ by Whathisname. ---

Speaking of _Hips Don’t Lie_ if you’re a Danzig fan check this out: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHv3qO\_Y8kk](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHv3qO_Y8kk) (a little bit of T&A) It’s supposed to be a joke but it’s so damned compelling. ---

Color Me Badd’s _All For Love_. My kid calls it “the happy song” and we bop together to it when I’m driving. The other day I pulled up for takeout and was mortified when the lady on the speaker commented on it.😃 ---

The Theme to _Wonder Woman_ Six versions of _Rose’s Turn_ (Ethel Merman, Rosalind Russell, Angela Lansbury, Tyne Daly, Bernadette Peters & Patty Lupone)- and my mother swore she never suspected _Some of These Days_ by Sophie Tucker _Put Your Shoes on Lucy_ (a 1940s novelty song that I’ve loved since boyhood) ---

I’m shocked that some folks have good music - ABBA, Elton John, etc. - and are embarrassed by it! Having said that, I think I have a few that meet the criteria: “Danger” - Mystikal “Xanadu” and “Physical” - Olivia Newton-John “Wired for Sound” - Cliff Richard “Two to Make it Right” - Sweet Seduction ---

The other day I pulled up for takeout and was mortified when the lady on the speaker commented on it.😃 I’m embarrassed to admit that’s a great song. They were corny as hell but they had some good harmonies and catchy tunes. ---

I have “Seasons in the Sun,” for which I blame all of you. Since it was so lambasted on the “Worst Song Ever” thread, I had to see what people were talking about. Sadly, my iPod seems to love it, as it comes up a bit when I have it on random…:eek: ---

> [@Icerigger](#): > > Safety Dance > In a Big Country-Big Country Icerigger, those songs rock! No 80s synth-pop collection would be complete without them. They are on my iPod too, next to the Thompson Twins, Heaven 17, and Haircut 100. I also have “Lost In Your Eyes” by Debbie Gibson. When I saw this thread, I thought of that and thought I could win it in one, but after seeing some of these songs I’m not sure Ms. Gibson even gets me an honorable mention! ---

> [@Icerigger](#): > > Sweet Pea-Tommy Roe You win. I once heard a classic rock DJ intro this song by saying “and now…the undisputed King of Rock 'n Roll: Tommy Roe” and I almost crashed the car laughing.
