What is your favourite "cheesy" song?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 93/100. CanadaGal (1628)   ranked 57 out of 8,279 in listening to music 4 years ago

I'm in the process of burning some audio cd's, and have decided to make one with ultimately cheesy music. You know the songs I'm talking about... they are songs that pretty much everyone knows, and a lot of us actually LIKE them, but overall, they are really cheesy.

What is your favourite cheesy song? Are there any others you could recommend I add to my cd?

Here are some examples of what I have so far:

"I will survive" - Gloria Gaynor
"Who let the dogs out" - Baha Men
"Canadian Idiot" - Weird Al
"It's not unusual" - Tom Jones
"I'm too sexy" - Right Said Fred

The ones you mentioned are better than the only one I can think of. I always kind of liked the theme from "The Love Boat." I know, it's a little weird, but I don't think of a few of the ones you mentioned as cheesy. But, that's just my opinion. Good luck.


myLot reputation of 89/100. scorpiobabes (2020)  4 years ago

Well if she can submit The Love Boat theme, then I've got a few that I'd like to submit (and some are actually based from real songs!)

Friends theme (actual song)
M*A*S*H theme (actual song)
Miami Vice theme (I think this may have been an actual song)

Will those do you good?

The super cheesy songs ALWAYS get stuck in my head, too! LOL!

Remember that song Jessie's Girl by Rick Springfield? Why did it just come into my mind after all of these years?

This discussion, that why! LOL!


myLot reputation of 89/100. scorpiobabes (2020)  4 years ago

Oh my gawd! I can just hear it in my head! I found a great site with 80s song titles...there were so many! Your choice is pushing everything else outta my head...and now I'm thinking of 867-5309 by Tommy Tutone (I think that's who did it!)--my best friend's name is Jenny and of course that was her ring tone for a while!

Time to exit and rip my eyes off (or listen to some good hard Metallica!)


myLot reputation of 98/100. peaceful (1826)   ranked 485 out of 8,279 in listening to music  4 years ago

Dang it, one of my friends is named Jenny and she used to be a bartender...

Whenever some drunk asked her for her phone number, guess what she gave 'em? LOL! :)


myLot reputation of 89/100. scorpiobabes (2020)  4 years ago

That's awesome! All I have is 4th of July in Asbury Park (Sandy)--how am I supposed to fend off the drunks with that???

So what's your favorite cheesy song? I've got a jingle going through my head...the Oscar Mayer Bologna song. I'm sure another will come to replace that shortly though! (it's replaced the other one!)


myLot reputation of 98/100. peaceful (1826)   ranked 485 out of 8,279 in listening to music  4 years ago

"She Blinded Me With Science " is among my favorites but "Feelings" is the top pain-in-the-butt song to get out of your head:) LOL! :)

It was a song from the musical broadway "hair" all of which is the ultimate annoying music. I think andy williams and probably a bunch of others did it as well. Another title for it goes "good morning starshine, the earth says hello." If you haven't heard it, you have lucky ears.


myLot reputation of 58/100. tessah (3120)   ranked 112 out of 8,279 in listening to music  4 years ago

umm sid.. im aware of the song "good morning starshine" ,its by john denver and it is even close to being the same tune as Dragostea din tei.

Here's a beer song that I have on a CD somewhere, but this is great!


myLot reputation of 93/100. CanadaGal (1628)   ranked 57 out of 8,279 in listening to music  4 years ago

The beer song I've seen before on a "funwall" post on facebook. It is definitely giggle-worthy.

As for the Bobby McFerrin tune... that one drives me bonkers. It was "overplayed" when it first came out (just like "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves). Some friends I knew changed the words up a bit... "You wear a big bandage around your head. You have a spot that looks kinda red. But don't worry... eat curry".

**watching star rating plummet**


myLot reputation of 94/100. ljegbers (5726)  4 years ago

I'm so disappointed the one that just made me ROLL was a song about a son getting cause masterbating. His father walked in on him. I've been trying and I can't find it again. GGRR That's the one that I really wanted you to hear too. FYI: I just love the beer song, its a great thing at a party!

I would have to say, I love Bootie Call or Because I got High by the Afromen. Those are a couple of my top faves but I have a cheesy list a mile long. LOL

Ah yes... Because I got high is a new fav funny one for me. I hadn't heard of it until a few months ago thanks to another thread I had going on favourite "high" tunes.

How about The Safety Dance by Men at Work? It's Raining Men by the Weather Girls. Did anyone mention Addicted to Love by Robert Palmer? And although I consider nothing done by him to be cheesy, how about Wild World by my favorite, my Cat Stevens?

I'll see what else I can come up with....


myLot reputation of 93/100. CanadaGal (1628)   ranked 57 out of 8,279 in listening to music  4 years ago

"Safety Dance" is by Men without Hats (canadian group, eh?), and Men at Work did "Down Under". I'm an 80's music geek... so be careful. lol.


myLot reputation of 94/100. ljegbers (5726)  4 years ago

I'm with you on this one Girl, I have three of their albums. I love Men at Work! Can you imagin that? I still kept my old records.


myLot reputation of 89/100. scorpiobabes (2020)  4 years ago

I remember being in sixth grade, MTV is so new they're playing MUSIC VIDEOS! and that song being on the radio! I need the Weather Girls to come and sing about raining men here by me! But I digress...so here's another one..


I'm Fat by Weird Al Yankovick (not that I'm Bad by MJ isn't cheesy itself!).

Remember the Macarena song and the dance that went along with it? That was cheesey so was putting on the ritz by taco and the safety dance by men without hats! Now I have all these annoying songs in my head...thanksdoh


myLot reputation of 89/100. scorpiobabes (2020)  4 years ago

Oh my gosh...I had a screensaver...but instead of the Macarena, it was the Macaroni! It made for some interesting conversations when my computer defaulted to that and I had to answer the phone!

I know what songs we should be looking for now..One Hit Wonders! I think Time Life came out with an entire series of them. OOOOhhhh, this'll be fun!

Peaceful,

THAT was hysterical! Now I've got to go and check out YouTube for even MORE cheesy music! That song is going through my head, again and again. Now if it was REALLY raining men, it might make my day! Thanks for sharing!


myLot reputation of 95/100. plunketear (1294)  4 years ago

How 'bout Fred Schneider (think B52's) on his own first (and maybe only?) album, extremely rare, and no... no one can have it, I listen to it 5 times a year or more, haha.

"It's Time To Kiss" what a number, just crank Fred up LOUD and the goosebumps take care of themselves. "Cut The Concrete" is another.

- altho, sorry, now that I know what you meant by Cheesy, CG, these likely don't apply either. Just good goosebump material that a few previous posts that mentioned the likes of Van Morrison, Roy Orbison's Pretty Woman (i like Van Halen's version too) and the like. These caught my eye as I was browsin'.

And scorpio, I remember Tommy Tutone, and there was another similar type group around the same time period, and just can't think of them..

And I thought Turning Japanese was by Wang Chung??


myLot reputation of 95/100. plunketear (1294)  4 years ago

Pardon me..you're right, it was "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" - Wang Chung, i get it mixed up Turning Japanese for some reason.


myLot reputation of 89/100. scorpiobabes (2020)  4 years ago

Fred's a character...I never knew that he released a solo career, even if for an instant! But then look at where he's from--the same music scent that spawned REM! When was his album released..before or after Yoko's? Now she's a BAD ... I wouldn't even call her a singer!


myLot reputation of 95/100. plunketear (1294)  4 years ago

Released in 1991. Has number he did in 84 too tho, i guess when he was playing around in his spare time on his own. Has Kate Pierson as one of the backup vocals (of course, who else??)
It is one incredible CD. It's an ADD.
Here's the line up:

Monster - guess what that ones about, haha
Cut The Concrete - i so wish you could hear this
Summer In Hell
Orbit
I'm Gonna Haunt You
It's Time To Kiss - ya just gotta hear this number, i wonder if it is a You Tuber, highly unlikely, i have no high-speed so You Tubes are long and tedious, altho i did wait to listen to Glen Hansard? when Skinny suggested he reminded her of Van Morrison - i listened to Into The Mystic, he's very good but no Van - remember The Story of Them? He was just getting going. Amazing stuff....I know I have a few years on ya though..
This Planets A Mess
Wave
Boonga (The New Jersey Caveman) - a cheesy number, totally. Mostly just Boonga Boonga Boon-GA, Boonga Boonga Boon-GA all through. I usually nuke it after Wave.

fyi:
Reprise bar code small 0 7599-26592-2 small 2

here's the first few lines of Monster haha

I saw it officer, it looked prehistoric....
There's a Monster in my pants
And it does a nasty dance
When it moves in and out
Everybody starts to shout!
Monster, ahhhh, Monster ahhhh
Get outta here monster!
Monster!
Monster!
Get outta here monster
There's a monster in my pants
And it does a naughty dance!
When it sees the light of day
You can hear people say
Oh no a monster!
Oh no a monster!
Oh no oh no oh no a giant monster!
Monster!
Monster!
Oh no a giant monster
Shut the window, bolt the door!
Don't wanna se that monster no more
There's a monster in my pants
And it does a modern dance
When it comes into a room
People hit with a broom!
Take that monster!
Take it!
Take it!
Take that you awful thing
etc etc

hee hee, does this sound like Fred or what?? lol


myLot reputation of 89/100. scorpiobabes (2020)  4 years ago

I found Monster (the video) on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpgWw1g-PD0

That's SUCH a campy video! I wonder when he actually wrote the song--you know if it wasn't for Love Shack's HUGE success it would have never had a movie made! I love when they're wearing the giant naked butts right before the lizard/dragon does. I think when Fred's Monster (first green then white with red (but what on earth is sticking out of the top? I can only imagine!). Now THAT is definitely a cheesy song...I'll keep looking to see if there's any others from that album! Thanks for sharing it!


myLot reputation of 89/100. scorpiobabes (2020)  4 years ago

My man wrote a song titled (aptly enough) Coconuts...I think one of the lines goes like this: "She has lovely coconuts, she takes them everywhere" (or something, I haven't heard the song for years!) and I was one of the few people he's told the lyrics to that actually understood what it meant!


myLot reputation of 98/100. peaceful (1826)   ranked 485 out of 8,279 in listening to music  4 years ago

I love writing songs for my Ladies, Scorpiobabes...

I have a particular fondness for redheads, and at one time I had three girlfriends with red hair (No jealousy, Open relationships)...

I wrote a tune called "Is She Really Red?" for them, the lyrics are rated XXX, but it's all in fun! :)
