That Time Again- Cheesy 1970's Music Clips

Not to the altar, apparently.

yes, yes, I know, 1969 :stuck_out_tongue:

Well, Billy never had a lick of sense. Pass the biscuits, please.

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

And here… well, I actually LIKE this song, but forgot how ridiculous the performer looked at the time

Oh wait, you want cheese? Here’s 100% pure Velveeta:

It seems you linked to the same song twice…

God help me, I’m in love with the Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep Chick.

Whoops, try this one.

Yes, folks, tragically, THIS was a #1 single.

Must’ve been the performer’s good looks and machisimo…

One of the worst anti-racism songs ever

A song that tells parents, “Never tell your kids to clean up their rooms, because they may get angry and overdose on heroin.”

I have infected my husband, as well. He keeps humming it, catching himself, and swearing at me. :slight_smile:

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.

It’s not her voice. It’s not even totally her looks.

It’s the way she moves when she chirps and cheeps.

I give you the embarrassment of riches that is Rasputinby 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.
*

Patchesby 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 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 by Olivia Newton John.

The hot pants and go-go boots don’t hurt, either.

…more hot pants and go-go boots. Soley, Soley. Also catchy as heck.

Bay City Rollers - Bye Bye Baby.

Not Cheesy, at least not to me but haunting and if you need a good cry. Karen Carpenter.

Eat your words, Mean Mr. Mustard! Don’t tell us you don’t have Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep on your iPod right now.

If I weighted 98 pounds, I would TOTALLY dress like that on a daily basis.

I do not. But I might damn well get it. Maybe if I fall asleep listening to it, I’ll dream of The Girl in the Go Go Boots. <sigh>
