You're welcome
I figure if I have to live in hell with it going through my head, I might as well drag some people along with me.

...Love shack, baby love shack...
lilcountriegal said:Its not bad enough to hear Love Shack on the damn radio....
you guys ever hear people trying to sing that song karaoke?
jillian said:Worst song ever??? How about Terry Jack's "Seasons in the Sun". Morbid, gross and unlistenable.
musicman said:Believe it or not, jillian, I can go you one better...er, worse, I mean.
Picture, if you will, that awful song being "sung" by its author: Rod McKuen. I saw it with my own eyes (on The Bobby Goldsboro Show). I was sick for a week.
jillian said:Ewwwwwwwwwww....that one might give me nightmares. *shiver* I didn't know McKuen wrote it.
Bobby Goldsboro had a show?
musicman said:Actually, he "adapted" it from a particularly noxious scrap of French poetry. For that, he got "songwriter" credit.
Yep - a short-lived, run of the mill musical variety show, back in the seventies. You couldn't tell by watching that show, but Goldsboro was one seriously talented cat.
jillian said:Maybe would have been better to have left it to obscurity. lol...
jillian said:I remember hearing the songs Honey and Watching Scotty Grow. Can't say I have any other recollection about him. But fair enough. Maybe the show didn't *showcase* his talents.
musicman said:If only...
Yeah, I'd call that a fair assessment. Not a particularly bad show, as those things went - but Golsboro had a lot more on the ball than that. In addition to being a very successful singer/songwriter, he was also a smoking guitarist. He actually wrote and recorded one of the most instantly recognizable guitar riffs in all of American pop music; the intro to Roy Orbison's "Oh, Pretty Woman".
jillian said:Really?!?!? I didn't know that! But you just gave me a great idea for a thread.
