Most Stupid Songs of the 1970's

[Dibbons]

"Disco Duck" gets my vote (heard it playing on the radio today).

 

[snakeyes]

I hated and still hate disco along with rap

 

[CoronetDarter]

Kung Fu Fighting by Carl Douglas

 

[Lazerwolf]

Two categories to me. Stupid ones like these.
Dead Skunk In The Middle Of The Road - Loudon Wainwright III
Muskrat Love - Captain & Tenille
Da Doo Ron Ron - Sean Cassidy (this was a remake of earlier song)

Or ones I thought turned stupid/irritating by being overplayed like these.
Convoy - C.W. McCall
Grease - Frankie Valli

 

[ACME A12]

"Midnight at the Oasis". That song makes me want to climb a water tower with a rifle...

 

[DeltaV]

"Ring My Bell" by Anita Ward

 

[Richard Cranium]

This one ranks right up there...

 

[Z-Man]

Mine would be Pena Coloda.

[Daves69]

Some old fun........




See if you figure out the main lyrics on this.........

This one ranks right up there...

Lol, the title remided me of this....

 

[tnfastback]

Mr Jaws

King Tut

Considering all they great songs of the 70’s I didn’t realize how many stupid songs there were. Oh yeah now I remember what was going on in the 70’s

 

[Under Pressure]

Muskrat Love, the captain and Tennile

I still cringe

 

[Daves69]

......

 

[Big Bad Dad]

The Lion Sleeps Tonight.....

 

[moparwacko]

Anything by The Captain and Tenille, Olivia Newton John, or Neil Sedaka. But tie a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree gives me a rash.


Water tower,


However, some of the best rock came from the 70s......
But a lot of that decade was a blur

 

[Sahara]

Seasons in the Sun by Terry Jacks. It’s a song about dying that makes me want to put a gun in my mouth.
The aforementioned Disco Duck. Most, but not all disco. The Saturday Night Fever soundtrack had some well crafted disco songs. I’m a metal guy, in case you are wondering.

 

[Don Frelier]

Can't stand this one, or any of their stuff

 

[yella71]

When I was a kid I had convoy on a 45, I wore that thing out playing it over and over.....untill my sisters would tell me to turn it off for a while
