LiveMusic Posted April 11, 2001 Share Posted April 11, 2001 Are there any songs that make you just wanna hurl? Donna Fargo's old country song, "I'm The Happiest Girl In The Whole USA." I guess that's the name. Says "it's a zippidy-doo-dah day." RAAALLLPppphhhhhh! Rock songs... I'm sure there are many... I'm blank right now. Of course, dang near any rap song makes me gag. A living Hell... I'm talkin' literally... would be having to listen to that crap 24 hours a day. Duke, the Puker > > > [ Live! ] < < < Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Flier Posted April 11, 2001 Share Posted April 11, 2001 LOL... well if I really got going on this topic I'm sure I could type for several days. The Donna Fargo song definitely is a good one! There were a LOT of those in the mid 70's... I'm thinking "I Got A Brand New Pair of Roller Skates" by Nancy Sinatra... or just about anything by Helen Reddy... Barry Manilow... ARRRGGHH. Or what about all those "tragic" songs like "Ruby Don't Take Your Love to Town" and "Seasons in the Sun" and "Billy Don't Be A Hero" and all that. Well, I guess the Vietnam War was still going on after all, so songs about death and tragedy resonated. Oh yeah and I know a lot of you guys will disagree on this one, but all those "art rock" bands make me puke too - Rush, Yes, Styx, Kansas, ELP, etc. Get out the barf bags! More recently... well... pretty much anything by Madonna makes me puke. Limp Bizkit too. Too many to mention. Actually I've pretty well stopped listening to commercial radio and that eliminates a lot of the puke factor. --Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveMusic Posted April 11, 2001 Author Share Posted April 11, 2001 Geez, Lee, what do you LIKE? http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/wink.gif FWIW, I like some of that stuff that you hate. In fact, I like almost anything. Except rap. Some songs just grate on the nerves. I'm blessed in that I truly do like and enjoy most commercial music. > > > [ Live! ] < < < Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Worthington Posted April 11, 2001 Share Posted April 11, 2001 "I've Got a Brand New Pair of Roller Skates" was actually by Melanie, who was responsible for several pieces of crap. A song's puke factor raises exponentially by it's pervasiveness. There was a time a couple years ago when Alanis Morisette couldn't be avoided. A jagged pill like that is hard to swallow; in fact, it makes you gag, which of course, leads to.........puking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedster Posted April 12, 2001 Share Posted April 12, 2001 >>"I Got A Brand New Pair of Roller Skates" by Nancy Sinatra... Yep, Eric beat me to the correction. I liked Melanie's "Lay Down...Candles in the Rain" song, though...that was cool and kinda spooky... All of that over-commercialized "Poppy Soppy Family" and stuff kinda nauseated me. Tony Orlando...all that. "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Flier Posted April 12, 2001 Share Posted April 12, 2001 Oh yeah, that's right it was Melanie. Nancy Sinatra had "These Boots Were Made for Walkin'" around the same time, right? Boots, roller skates, whatever. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif --Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedster Posted April 12, 2001 Share Posted April 12, 2001 Oh yeah...Kris...the lyric was supposed to say "Wrapped up like a Deuce"...I never could figure out why they sang it like that. What the hey, it's Springsteen anyway. Ever hear him do that song? Not a bit like Manfred Mann... "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Posted April 12, 2001 Share Posted April 12, 2001 FYI, the Melanie song is "Brand New Key." Here's another one that turns my stomach - "Feelings," which is just as nauseating in English or Spanish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Worthington Posted April 12, 2001 Share Posted April 12, 2001 Regarding Manfred Mann's cover of "Blinded by the Light" where they repeat the phrase "Wrapped up like a deuce, another runner in the night." This is funny. When they recorded their cover, they got the line wrong! And it's the one they repeat a lot, so they make the same glaring, embarrassing mistake over and over. The line never made any sense--because it was wrong. Springsteen's original lyric, full of lots of little internal rhymes (a la Dylan), is: "Blinded by the light Cut loose like a duece Another runner in the night." Not wrapped up, cut loose, which rhymes with deuce. Not that it makes any more sense.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking "I Got A Brand New Pair of Roller Skates" by Nancy Sinatra... --Lee Lee, I'm sure the cutesy "Brand New Key" is likely to do a little nerve grating here and there, but it isn't Nancy Sinatra. Just to double-check, I went to Nancy's web site, in case you might have been referring to a cover of the original hit version which was by "Melanie" (1971), but Nancy didn't record it. Melanie's may be best remembered for "Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)", where her voice seemed sort of like a merger betwixt Stevie Nicks and Janis Joplin. As a writer, she was actually pretty prolific. "Brand New Key" got a real boost recently when it was featured in the flick, "Boogie Nights"; the theme song for Roller Girl.

Guest Posted April 12, 2001 Share Posted April 12, 2001 I figure "Cut loose like a deuce" refers to a Deuce Coupe tearing away from a stoplight "like a runner in the night". I try to avoid speculating as to what Mile Lubowitz (Mannfred) was thinking when he heard "wrapped up like a douche". "Springsteen lyrics- an auditory Rohrschach test." As far as songs that make me puke...well, better leave that one alone. Put it this way- I have no TV and don't listen to the radio anymore. It's not so much the music, which is really quite boring and inocuous, even downright "pleasant", but the fact that boring and inocuous is marketed as young and fresh and exciting. It's a bad and scary sign of the times. -CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Posted April 12, 2001 Share Posted April 12, 2001 This thread cracks me up ;-). Although there are plenty of songs that make me want to blow chunks, I'd have to nominate Meat Loaf's "I'd do anything for love, but I wouldn't do that". Major spewage when I hear that tune.... -Dylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedster Posted April 13, 2001 Share Posted April 13, 2001 Oh, here's another couple for me... "Lady in Red" by Chris DeBurgh...and anything that's too "SWEET" like that stupid Shania song they were playing over and over on my wife's radio station "It's in the way we ma-aa-ake love" just so nauseatingly sugar coated, I start walking around heaving like my dog before he barfs. Ugh, just thinking about those songs makes me need a mint or something to get the taste out of my mouth...oops OH GOD... ...ULP...ULP...ULP...ULP...BLEEEAGHGHGUSHHHHSPLATTTT....

Dylan Posted April 13, 2001 Share Posted April 13, 2001 It's because of the song "Were not going to take it" that my parents removed our cable when I was a kid. I must of only been around 7 years old, and that video was on all of the time. Me and my buddies would walk around the playground pushing kids off swing sets singing that song, acting like we were the guys in the video. Ah, good times, good times.... My parents didn't relish the idea of me watching videos depicting school teachers getting thrown out of a window, however. I can't imagine why. Don't worry about me now, I'm a nice guy. And, I haven't pushed any kids off of swing sets for a while (at least a few days) ;-). Originally posted by art: "We're Not Gonna Take It" by Twisted Sister. That guitar solo is so lame. Yuck!

lockbody Posted April 13, 2001 Share Posted April 13, 2001 As my first reply (Hi, all!), I would like to mention a few songs that make any sane person puke: 1. Chris DeBhurg - "Don't Pay the Ferryman" 2. Cory (was it?)Hart - "Sunglasses at Night" 3. Eric Clapton's version of "I Shot the Sheriff" 4. Boy George "Karma Cam... Screw that! Any Boy George song makes me puke. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip McDonald Posted April 14, 2001 Share Posted April 14, 2001 "All Around the World" - Sugar Ray. I *still* can't believe that was on the radio: out of key AND out of tune. The worst. Mediocre genericism makes me want to puke more than anything else - hearing something that's a hair away from being just like another song. Or *is* another song, like that "song" on the radio that is some guy saying "Come come, my lady", whatever, that's actually an entire section out of a Chili Pepper's song... uhg! Or, geez, I can't forgive Page for the Puff Daddy thing, that was truly horrid... ahgg... http://www.mp3.com/chipmcdonald Guitar Lessons in Augusta Georgia: www.chipmcdonald.com Eccentric blog: https://chipmcdonaldblog.blogspot.com/ / "big ass windbag" - Bruce Swedien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedster Posted April 15, 2001 Share Posted April 15, 2001 "Puppy Love"...HAHAHAHA...My cousin used to like that song...'cause she was "SO" into Donnie Osmond back in the 70s...she loved that song and it made me hurl BIGGG CHUNKS! Especially that "Someone help me, help me..." itshay. She played keyboards as a teeny bopper, so I gave her "Six Wives of Henry VIII" and a Keith Jarrett solo album to listen to, and said, "Here's some more interesting music". Well, now she's a producer and does the Celtic folk thing in the D.C. area, so I guess it paid off. "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
