Name that cheesy '70 songs in 5 words

Lady, Little River Band.

Let’s Get It On, Marvin Gaye.

This thread may be dead but I just heard the cheesiest of '70s cheese and I had to post it.
B16) All right everybody, gather 'round!

I love '70s cheese too; I can’t believe I missed this thread! But I don’t know your latest, biggirl. :frowning:

But here are a few from me:

EC1: know That I was home
EC2: Gonna dance with my baby till
EC3: dreaming of my Chevy and
EC4: together in such a super way

"The Candy Man is here! What kinda candy you want…? " Sammy Davis Jr., of course!

Cheesy? Well… Sugary? Definitely. :slight_smile:

EC3: dreaming of my Chevy and my old blue jeans…
– Elton John, “Crocodile Rock.”

Keeping It To Myself – Average White Band

Here’s some more:

W1) Man got his woman to…
W2) Oh, I can’t take another…
W3) Every time I see your…
W4) Wop-ba-doo-ba-doo…
W5) Last night, as I got…
W6) Never, I never met a…
W7) Into my room he creeps…
W8) We were very happy, well…
W9) When I think about those…
W10) Shine on me sunshine, off…

I can get a couple of these straight off–the rest will require some thinking:

W7) Into my room he creeps… without making a sound/Into my dreams he peeps, his hair all long and hanging down…
– The Bells, “Stay Awhile”

W8) We were very happy, well… at least I thought we were/Can’t somebody tell me what’s got into her?
– Tony Orlando and Dawn, “Say, Has Anybody Seen My Sweet Gypsy Rose?”

Only Women Bleed, Alice Cooper.

W10) Shine on me sunshine, off…

I am going to guess Happiest Girl in the Whole USA, although I think the lyrics are Shine on me sunshine, walk with me world, it’s a skippidy-do-dah day.

Both correct.

Correct.

Correct. Guess I’m a victim of a mondegreen there–I thought it was “off with me, world”. :smack:

And a correction on W4: It’s “Wop-wa -doo-ba-doo”. Sorry 'bout that.

This one sounds painfully familiar. Something by Orpheus, maybe?

W4) Wop-ba-doo-ba-doo…

The Blues Brother’s version of Rubber Buscuit? Come back and tell me if I’m right!

Nah, that would be Humbad beebebada doobedaba

Cruel To Be Kind, Nick Lowe.

It just kept pokin’ at me, pokin’ at me.

W3) “Every Time I See Your Smiling Face,” James Taylor
W4) “Sweet Mary,” Wadsworth Mansion*
W5) “I Just Wanna Stop,” Gino Vanelli

*I think that’s the band name; I don’t have my copy of 'Have A Nice Day: Super Hits of the 70s, Vol. 4" handy to check

Nope.

Yep.

Yes it is; W9 (Gino Vannelli) is also correct, but W3 is not.

So that leaves us with:

W3) Every time I see your…
W5) Last night, as I got…
W6) Never, I never met a…

Take a Letter to Maria, Anthony Armstrong Jones?

Long Time by Boston

SP3 And if it’s bad don’t…
SP4 Everywhere is freaks and hairies…
SP5 Well you’re dirty and sweet…

Ooh, now you’re talking my language.

“Hold Your Head Up” - Argent
“I’d Love to Change the World” - Ten Years After
“Get It On (Bang a Gong)” - T-Rex

I’m amazed at the number of people my age who I find don’t remember that Ten Years After song. I remember it as being a saturation airplay item back in the day.

All correct Biffy. Great job!
