Here’s one that actually makes Pink, Mya and Christina Aguilera look refined, tasteful and subdued.

He keeps humming it, catching himself, and swearing at me. 🙂 WHOOPS. Misread that post. Didn’t see the _chick_ at the end. Thought you meant the song. Which I’ve infected my husband with. He doesn’t think the singer’s a very good singer. Didn’t say anything about her looks. ---

I give you the embarrassment of riches that is [Rasputin](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmjdZKfumEI)by Boney M. I could have picked anything by Boney M who sold records by the millions and millions in the UK in the 1970s. Some of the most startling lyrics of all time. Personal favourite: \*RA RA RASPUTIN!/ They didn’t quit, they wanted his head/ RA RA RASPUTIN!/ Russia’s greatest love machine/ And so they shot him 'till he was dead. \* [Patches](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rhy2rBqrao)by Clarence Carter. I actually really love this song, but then I have a weakness for songs that tell stories. Incidentally, I always thought Patches’ momma was a bit of a leach in this song. (Compare and contrast with [The Son of Hickory Holler’s Tramp](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UodaOuoMHXs) which featured a more enterprising mom.) Finally, if I can stretch a point in the other direction to include 1980, I think no exploration of cheese is complete without [Xanadu](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m1UWSD-FaA) by Olivia Newton John. ---
