Anything from Shitney Houston, Barbara Streisand, Neil Diamond, Debbie Boone, Anita Baker, Freddie Jackson, Mikki Howard, Regina Belle, any of the folk music of the 1960s/early 1970s, and anything from whoever sings that damn song "Feelings" from the 1970s. Andy is a four letter word. | |

I like some of their stuff. We all have our bad sides.

uPtoWnNY said: Kung Fu Fighting
I dig the song, to some extent. I mean, yea, it's gimmicky, but it's aight. Have you heard his other material? It's nothing like Kung Fu Fighting, it's actually very good soul. He just got labeled a one-hit-wonder cause of 'Kung Fu Fighting' and nobody bothered to listen to his other stuff, which sucks, since his material is actually very good. It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 Every time I hear that song, I think of the scene in the movie "Boogie Nights" where that girl on roller skates gets naked and lays across Burt Reynolds' lap while the young guy gets ready to have sex with her and Burt Reynolds watches.

Ok, this will be TMI but I got turned on when she did that.  Nothing like a naked chick in roller skates. 
That damn Heather Graham! MMM! | |

As for horrible oldies from previous decades, I've got candidates:
1960s: "Tie Toe Through the Tulips" by Tiny (how the hell his stage name includes TIM?) Shim 1970s: "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Around the Ole Oak Tree" by Tony Orlando 
1980s: "Dancing on the Toilet, er, Ceiling" by Lionel Richie, like seriously, WHAT THE FUCK?! LOL And even though you didn't include the 1990s: "I Saw the Sign" by Ace of Fakes. A Swedish group doing reggae? GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE! | |

That damn Heather Graham! MMM! Those damn movies! They always show the woman naked and never the man. I couldn't believe it at the end when the guy pulled out his dick and showed it to the camera. Then the thrill was gone when I found out the damn thing was fake. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Then the thrill was gone when I found out the damn thing was fake. Now see that's injustice!  Men show their dicks like a few seconds and then flash quickly but on the other hand there's no problem showing a guy's butt for ten minutes for humor. Men (not the old, fat or shriveled up) should be allowed to be seen NAKED just as much as the chicks. Come on, movie people, let the men express themselves! | |

That guy rode the coattails of Hank Ballard (who wrote "The Twist") to glory, lol. I despise that song because every time you go to an oldies station, that's one of the first songs you hear ALL THE DAMN TIME! | |

The 80's definitely had some cheesy songs. Some already mentioned above, a couple others are: "Wild Boys" - DD "Gloria" - Laura Branigan "I would say that Prince's top thirty percent is great. Of that thirty percent, I'll bet the public has heard twenty percent of it." - Susan Rogers, "Hunting for Prince's Vault", BBC, 2015 |

One of my most hated songs is 'Send in the Clowns', the Stephen Sondheim song, by whoever sang it famously.
'Isn't it rich/ Aren't we a pair' etc  . This song is smugness personified.
Following that, there's Barry Manilow's 'classic', 'Bermuda Triangle'('Makes people disappear', apparently. You don't say.) and 'Lola' ('She was a showgirl', don't you know). Damn, I remember these songs far too well!! | |

 I agree!
Again, like "Ebony & Ivory" - when two great artists get together and do a cover that sounds shitty.
Everyone says in the video it look like they're about to make out.
I wonder what Martha Reeves think of the cover. Maybe she saw it and screamed so loud at the stupidity of it that that's why she sings the way she does now. I keed, I keed.  [Edited 4/16/08 15:02pm] | |

[Edited 4/16/08 15:02pm] Whats up? It's sad when great artist produce crap....I wanted to throw "Wazupwitu" by MJ and Eddie Murphy in this category, but they were early 1990's. Talk about sending off the wrong body language in a video http://www.youtube.com/wa...9cQOcAC_K8 btw--I am not implying that Eddie Murphy is a great musician, but MJ has teamed with Paul McCartney & Stevie Wonder on consecutive albums and produced crap (I did like Say, say, say) "Old man's gotta be the old man.
