Just a few quickies: Brandy (You’re a Fine Girl) Mandy Daddy Don’t you walk so fast That’s the Night that the Lights Went Out in Georgia Hey There Georgy girl… Patches, Dicky Lee, 1958 - first of the Dead Teens Down by the river That flows by the coal yard Stand wooden houses With shutters torn down. There lives a girl Everybody calls patches, Patches, my Darling Of old shanty town \ But a girl from that place would just bring me disgrace. So my folks won’t let me see you \ I hear a neighbor, telling my Father He says a girl; name of Patches was found Floating face down in that dirty old river… \ It may not be Right But Ill join you tonight Patches.I’m coming to you… Yeah, there’s a reason nobody plays that one much any more… And a reason it is burned into my memory - I can sing the damned thing from memory. Traces of Love, long ago, That didn’t work out right… Traces of love, tonight… I’ll now return this to the younger group. Just know you’ll never match the great Dreck masters of the past (I have every song mentioned in that thread on CD. Be afraid… ---

Actually, the thread about songs you always turn up the volume has some good entries for this thread. They never re-opened that worthless pit They just placed a Marble Stand in front of it These few words are written on that stand: At the bottom of this mine lies one Hell of a Man A Big, Big Man - Big John. ---

> [@usedtobe](#): > > Someone who had never heard “Little Drummer Boy”?!!? Since I didn’t know about the song, searching for it threw this([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJ\_MGWio-vc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJ_MGWio-vc)) version up as the first hit. Not only is the song dreck, the video is full of strange looking people making creepy faces. It was not a pleasant experience, to say the least. > [@](#): > > Do you all realize what this means? > > We have us a dreck VIRGIN! :eek: Heh. I wish.

Old Time Rock and Roll by Bob Seger. I generally like Bob Seger, but hearing this played 150 billion times on the radio has ruined this one for me. Same with Margueritaville. Although I do like the version Alan Jackson did on Under The Influence.
