Music: What are your cheesiest songs ever?

[GKJ]

How has no one posted this...

The thing is, songs like this, or this one specifically, weren’t meant to be full-scale commercial radio hits. She just had rich parents who bought her a song and production.

It is in the realm of "naïve art".

this song had an epic thread either here or the lounge..Part of why I cant believe it wasn't posted already.

Well, for many the Christmas holidays are over and that means. . . well, Sheena Easton, tell us what we do.

Almost 3 pages and yet no mention of Total Eclipse of the Heart. As I'm sure we all know, the song was written by cheesemaster Jim Steinman and intended to be a love song about vampires.

I’ve always dug that song.

I remember as a kid in the late 80s I was at a cookout at my grandmothers, and my cousins and I went to play in this lot by her house.

The house across the street was having a cookout as well and some of their kids setup a little stage and played different 80s songs.

I can’t remember any other songs they did, but they nailed Total Eclipse of the Heart. Girl singing was awesome.

It was the only song she sung, but all of us stopped playing to listen to her - just one of those moments frozen in my memories when I hear that song on the radio.

Did any of you marry this girl?

You Light Up My Life - Debbie Boone
Feelings - Morris Albert
Convoy - C.W. McCall

The Offspring's version of Feelings is a great listen if you've never heard it before lol.

 

[Unholy Diver]

the video is a treasure




Another favorite

number 1 song on the day I was hatched





what makes the song and video funnier is where they filmed and it was filmed in the middle of winter and the band had never been to Sacramento--they just thought it sound cool

She was like 16-17 and the oldest of us at that time was maybe 10, so woulda been weird.

I think she would have had better offers than helping me sort my Garbage Pail Kids collection.

For corporate muzak. . .

Not just cheesy but downright disturbing! lol.

Hammerfall brings the cheese

If there was a sport with a worst soundtrack, you might think yachting but no. . . oh, no! It is in fact alpine skiing.

 

[Bahama Mama]

Disco Duck is classic cheese. I like your username. I used to play playground basketball and I'd tell my opponents "Your momma in the Bahamas with a llama".

Was that intended to intimate or merely confuse your opponent,how'd it work out in the end?

No Llamas as far as I know,do have swimming pigs though on another island,coincidentally some pretty large tiger sharks as well.lol.

Odd fact about this song, it was released at almost exactly the same time as Dolly Parton's Grammy-winning song also titled "9 to 5".

Thus, in 1981 two completely different songs titled "9 to 5" reached #1 on the Billboard charts about six weeks apart.

Sometimes when we touch the honesty's too much and I have to break down and cry

 

[Xelebes]

Perhaps the last of the real Ginobeat classics. Sarina Paris tried to take this song to the US and it flopped. After that, Ginobeat kinda officially died. It did get played in many of the gay bars in the US but it didn't get anywhere beyond that.

Posting this one because I heard it yesterday. Kind of an obscure 90s hit in the States. Not only are the lyrics cheesy (In the twist of separation, you excelled at being free), but the music video is as well, and supposedly one of the members became very ill because of it. The music itself is nice though.



I'm convinced this was written as a joke, but it topped at #3 in 1999, so what do I know?



Best thing about this song is this awesome cover

Take That were and remain absolutely MASSIVE in Europe, and have some truly great songs, but only Back For Good broke in North America.

This is the winner.

[Fixed to Ruin]

This is the winner.

The song is very cheesy but the Abe Lincoln scene in the music video pushes it over the top.
