Imagine listening to the Macarena and Mambo #5 over and over and over again - I once was in the same room as a faulty jukebox that really liked to play those two songs over and over and over again.

jdbutler, are these compiled on a site somewhere? Or are you just amazingly fastidious to present them in alphabetical order for us? Funny stuff there, thanks!

BTW, my mom used to sing the "chewing gum" song to us -- I had know idea it was a REAL song, much less C&W!

LOL sorry to be late on this one, but as I read it, I was reminded of my cousin's wedding where at the reception, the whole wedding party was on a stage (yes!) LEADING the guests in doing the Macarena (sp??). Oh lawd what a memory, but the wedding overall was a blast.

The hit or miss eighties.

The kids earned a trip to TGI Fridays for their successful behavior mod. I don't know if it's always like this but it was all eighties. Some pretty cool old tunes were played but when they ran out a George Michaels / Laura Branigan one two punch, I had to leave the table

I think "Chewing Gum" was pop rather than country, actually.

"I'm Going to Hire a Wino" is one of my favorite songs.

And I hate country.

Another song that sends me into a blind rage - McArthur Park. I hate that song!
my sister once arrived at her 8:00am math class in HS to see the words to this song written on the blackboard, by the teacher who was in a frothing rage, screaming at the students: "DON'T EVER LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!"

Out of curiousity, I transcribed the song to see if I could divine some message that I should be warned against. No idea.

Terri Gross had Jimmy Webb (the perpetrator) on the other day and they chatted about the song. She failed to extract any useful info either.

As far as the math teacher goes I think they didn't had the really cool meds we have now...

FYI:
Written By: Jimmy Webb

Spring was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages and were pressed
In love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground around your knees
The birds, like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing checkers by the trees

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

[break]

There will be another song for me
For I will sing it
There will be another dream for me
Someone will bring it
I will drink the wine while it is warm
And never let you catch me looking at the sun
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
You'll still be the one

I will take my life into my hands and I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
And my passion flow like rivers through the sky
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
You'll still be the one
And I ask myself "why?"

[break]

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
Oh, no
No, no
Oh no!

However,
NOTHING is as bad as Cher's stirring "gypsies, tramps and thieves" You might as well say beetlejuice beetlejuice beetlejuice.

It should be pointed out, though, that Jimmy Webb is one of the great pop songwriters of all time, if sales are any indication. That, and I have a long-held, even if grudging, respect for him.

We do one of his songs in my band..."The Last Unicorn", originally performed by America for the soundtrack of the animated filim of the same name.

"Chewy, Chewy" by 1910 Fruitgum Company, the flipside of "Green Tambourine"...now *there's* a bad song.

True =Webb, and it should also be pointed out that because of the afforementioned math class incident the song has attained a dimension that I find priceless so I really enjoy it in a very perverse way. (well not like that) esp the version by the four tops. I think they could sing the phone book and I'd listen to it.

and in shame I drop my head and admit to owning the album with chewy chewy on it. What can I say? I was only seven and a "latch–key kid."

THERE SHOULD BE LAWS!!!

Ever heard those songs that have no tune at all, played in the whole scale? (C,D,E,F#,G#,A#,C) such as Debussy's Clair de Lune and such?

Dude...Clair de Lune, and most anything else by Mssr. Debussey, is incredible. I have like five different rendtions of just that one piece.

Wolf, tell him...tell him Tomita's version is mind bogglingly great.
