Most Stupid Songs of the 1970's

[Photon440]

Muskrat Love, the captain and Tennile

I still cringe

That was a cover, America did it three years earlier and theirs wasn't the original either.

How do you do----Mouth and MacNeil

Maybe cute in 1979, but in 2020 there might have been shots fired................

Got the vinyl album.

This one ranks right up there...

Never heard that song (thank god), geez is that horrible.

Lived it, suffered it - but NEVER, I mean NEVER, accepted any disco. Period.
Ok, I'll play. Here's a few I can add to the already great list you all have got going:
1. "Loving You" - Minnie Riperton
(The one where she hits that high note only dogs can hear...)

2. "Feelings" - Morris Albert
Feelings! Woah woah woah FEELINGS! *gag*

3. "You Light Up My Life" - Debbie Boone
Could they possibly have played a song more on the radio at the time?
I wound up wanting to light up HER life towards the end...

4. "You're Having My Baby" - Paul Anka
No. No, I'm not, Paul....

5. "The Morning After" – Maureen McGovern
There's got to be a mornin' afterrrr - well yeah, they had more disaster movie
sequels to do, after all....

The list goes on, but I do want to make note of a common thread to ALL these songs:
They all were performed by actual human beings, often accompanied by other actual
humans playing actual musical instruments - sans any Autotune or PC wizardry and NOT
recorded digitally.
There's something to be said for that.

Who remembers Time Life selling music collections of the different decades? I bought this one back then.......... (makes me appreciate online music we have now even more)

Heard that term since childhood. My dad used to repair tv's.....when they were meant to be repaired.

My dad repaired TVs also for extra cash. I remember testing tubes for him as a child.

Hoping this cap is the reason my led monitor went dark. Maybe an easy fix for a dollar fifty. $35 to recycle if not....

Back when remember going with my dad to the local drug store that had a tube tester...back when local meant no chain stores. Remember when the big fear was if the 'picture tube' went out: "Oh hope it's not the picture tube dear." If people can remember this, they've been around for a good while. I've said this as a joke at training sessions when the video was blank "Oh hope the picture tube didn't blow." People would look cross-eyed at me wondering WDF this meant, then would give them a brief history chat...lol.
