What 'un-cool' song do you admit to shamlessly loving?

McArthur Park - Richard Harriss

I love that too, edgar

'there will be another song for me, and I will sing it'

We are probably the only two on a2k that will admit it.

...shamelessly

...and I really like 'Girls, Girls, Girls' by Sailor

and that's really tacky

Hot Stuff by Donna summers... I used to even do a metal cover version of it....

it's weird, un-cool has become the new cool, before johnny cash started working with rick rubin on the american recordings sessions some 10 or more years ago, he would have been considered un-cool by a fair segment of the population, those recordings, 4 cd's (with one more released after his death) including the nin cover hurt helped boost johnny to a status not seen in many years

my fave uncool song, season in the sun

i like mcarthurs park alos edgar and smorgs

We could start a club. I like Season in the Sun also.

Mmm Bop.











yup.

Blinkin' flip and drat! When I saw this thread I thought I'll post about that Terry Jacks' song [although apparently there was a version in the 90s which the younger members may not know. I saw it on MTV in passing, one day] and now apparently I'm timed out, beaten to it. Drat, drat, drat!

I love mmm bop

and 'Love is in the Air'

and...

really sorry....

Hero by Enrique Inglaisiaesiase (something like that)

it's hip to be square

Forget all those, the best uncool song of all time is Roy Wood's See my baby jive, when Roy Wood was known as "The Wizzard".

My first ever concert when I was 13 was at The Free Trade Hall when the Wizzard was at number one in the UK for four weeks, and I remember them doing a 5 minute version of it.

For years I have tried not to remember this song but recently I purchased a cd of Roy's singles [including his stuff with The Move, and hearing this song again I find it so catchy...

Look out, look out,
Your Mama will shout
You might as well go home.
You say my beard gets into your hair
So give me back my comb.

Very dodgy lyrics, don't know why it works but it does...

Oh boy that's that
He's calling me back
His chord aint got no keys...

Add me to the MacArthur Park club... but I have to back away from "Season in the Sun".

But Roy Wood is cool!

Here's mine:

"The Air That I Breathe" -- The Hollies

Everyone you meet
Coming down the street
Just to see my baby jive!
