Ok, before I do this, I just want to preface my post by telling Jabroni : You are a cruel and wicked person for starting this thread. I will have my vengeance and it will be an awful, awful vengeance...

Alright then ( takes deeeeep breath ): Love might be too strong word but for some reason, this song has always struck a chord with me and I'm damned if I know why...I know that it's overwrought, waayyyy overproduced, the songwriting utilizes every hackneyed arrangement cliché, the saccharine strings are ever-present and cloying and so's that damned French horn. The lyrics have the romantic sincerity of the last three Hallmark cards left on the shelf five minutes before the card shop closes on Valentine's Day. I know all these things to be true. I know that this song defiles a Chopin piano compostion. I know that the vocal improv at the end is pathetically lame and I still want to giggle like a grade-schooler when he starts emoting "Come!...Come!" ( couldn't anybody in the control room take him aside and say "you know....you might just wanna ..." It was cruel not to...oh, wait a minute, I get it now...). I know all this to be true... and yet, gawd help me, there's something about this song that just gets me...
I'm sick. Sick, I tells ya! Diamond Dog is a sick little puppy... This "love" dares not speak it's name...here it is:

And yes, I'm the guy that just started the new Heavy Metal thread a coupla days ago... All of ya shut the hell up.

Don't be so hard on yourself, PRELUDE. After Defenders Of The Faith, it was kinda the same thing...

America- "Horse With No Name"

"Brandy", as in "All the sailors say "Brandi, what a fine wife you would be..."- from a group so bad I have blocked their name from my memory.
And, hey D.D., if your guilty secret is a love of Chopin preludes (admittedly borrowed and abused by Barry Manilow) you will find most of the classical lovers right there with you.

The Bobby Gentry hit "Ode to Billy Joe" gave me goosebumps when I first heard it, and it still does. Haven't the faintest idea why, though!

Does an un-recorded cover of "Stealin' at the Seven-Eleven" by Rootboy Slim (with the Rootettes singing "Stealin', Stealin'..." in the background) qualify? He did it at a club in Alexandria back in the early '70's, but to the best of my knowledge, he never recorded it.

I liked RB's version much better than the Commander Cody version, which for me is saying a lot!

Barry Manilow is really embarrassing.

I could say>
Cancion Mixteca with Harry Dean Stanton on Paris-Texas soundtrack.
James Taylor = Handy Man
Willie Nelson = Highway Man
Robin Gibb = Tragedy
April Stevens = Teach me Tiger
Bee Gees = many songs...

This should be carved into stone without delay!

Honey - Bobby Goldsboro

Lock me in a room and make me listen to "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy I've got Love in my Tummy", but just shoot me before the 3rd repeat of Bobby Goldsboro! Uuhgg! Oh, the horror!

The video brings the song to the highest level of "Cheesy"

Now I'll be whistling the tune for the next three days!

Great ones! I had to garbage Seasons In The Sun because it's so depressing it would make me suicidal every time I heard it... Dar nar nar nar - Goodbye Papa please pray for me...

The Night Chicago Died has been out of my consciousness for decades but it's a great, super cheesy tune that I'll be adding to my playlist. Thanks for bringing it up... I heard my mama cry... can you get more schmaltzy?

Damn, you're right but I had it in my regular mix. Abdul's nasal voice and the 'Oh Oh Oh' part really make it tacky. It's still a great song but it's been moved to the cheese mix. Thanks for the heads up.
