I love the groove in that song.
And his voice?? Good lord.
" Yewah mah fuhst, yewah mah last, yah mah ehvveythang!!! "

I don’t know why, but whenever “Working My Way Back To You, Babe” comes on the radio, I want to rip my ears off.
Agreed - it’s like there’s this gaudy sheen of shellac over that number. Definitely one cheesy-sounding “baaaaaaabe”.
Can’t remember if Andy Kim’s “Rock Me Slowly” has been mentioned. Just a little bit Double Bubble for me.
I never really heard this before, but it’s like a car wreck. I can’t imagine a worse melody.
Glenn Yarbrough - Baby the rain must fall
Ah yes - I see it now - it all makes sense:
The bah’ing sheep vibrato from Glenn like, totally provides the influential groundworks for this bah’ing sheep vibrato from Christopher.
I gleaned much from that four-hour pre-song i-view.

Does #26 qualify as a hit? Enjoy! (sarcasm)
[/QUOTE]Well! Never heard this before! Oh yeah - those are quite the mind-expanding chorus vocals, and you’ve been humbly thanked for sharing such a reprehensible atrocity. (wow - especially that crazy extra high yell in between the two Ariels - holy shit, it scared me! Thank-you!)
I have no problem with this one. I think the verse, in particular, has a nice melody running through it.
“Watching Scotty Grow” by Bobby Goldsboro.
Whenever someone says they’re “surprised no one has mentioned…” it always turns out that someone has mentioned.
But this is still the best version:
Ah, but then we wouldn’t have the Dead Milkmen’s vastly superior Watching Scotty Die. 
Ringo’s No No song.
*No, no, no, no!
I won’t listen no more
I’m tired of throwing up on the floor.*
I’m surprised no one has mentioned wonky’s hypothesis until now.
I like that one myself.
Now, on to controversy:
*I Want to Hold Your Hand,
She Loves You.*
Yes, they both show some signs of the genius to come. Yes, they were nessesary to propel the Beatles into fame. Without them, maybe no White Album.
Yes they were products of their time.
All true, but treacly sweet lryics and chords. Almost hurts the ear to listen to today.
Do they get a pass? Or do they belong here?
Or do you actually love them still?
I would say “Eight Days A Week” and “Love Me Do” are more treacly and twee than those ones.
Regardless, I don’t think any of the four belong here, because, yes, I do love them still. 
Almost hurts the ear? More than this?
I like the No No Song myself, but then, anything written by Hoyt Axton gets a pass from me.
More on Rockefeller Skank
I didn’t realise he got nothing out of it; but if you listen to the principle sample source (Sliced Tomatoes by the Just Brothers, easy enough to find on Youtube) you may be moved to ask yourself what of merit was actually added to it to create Rockerfeller Skank.
On the other hand, Norman Cook used to be (maybe still is) shirt sponsor for a youth football team in Brighton, so hats off to him say I.
As someone elsewhere pointed out in a similar discussion, this song was performed by men in their 20s, one of them married with a child. I had never thought of it that way, but now I do. :o
So people can only have an audience of their age or older? The market for teen age love songs has always been created by older teens and adults. And Dr. Seuss wasn’t a child.
I LOVE that song. Maybe you had that confused with ‘When you’re in love with a beautiful woman’?
n/m wrong thread.
