Hey, Hey We're the Monkees

[BeefmasterB]

I always thought "In the year 2525" by Zager and Evans was real lame.

How many of you oldtimers remember a little nonsense song that went something like:

"oo ee oo aa aa, ting tang walla bing bang, oo ee oo aa aa ting tang walla walla bing baaaang"

:lol2: Didn't the chipmonks sing that one?

 

[Running Arrow Bill]

There were many I detested...but, a special few come to mind.

• Purple People Eater
  Chipmonks song
  ANYTHNG by Pat Boone
  12 Days of Christmas
  Most all songs during 1950's, except some of the Rock (e.g., Fats Domino)
  The guy that sang about "When you hair turns to silver I'll still lay you down..." (only line I remember)
  Any of the Rock Stars that their words are totally unintelligible and not understandable
  Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain (Willie Nelson)

On the "positive" side, some of my Favorites include:

• Luckenbach Texas (Willie Nelson)
  Blue Bayou
  Alley Cat
  Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer
  Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
  And bunch of others I can't remember right now...

I just remember that there was a Chipmunk version. I don't know who sang the original.

Is "Alley Cat" anything like "Stray Cat Strut" by The Stray Cats?

I think the only thing worse than hearing a song you hate is being able to play the guitar and someone asks you to play something you hate. That's when I say it's in an alternate tuning and you can't do it with just one guitar.

One thing that makes bad songs more bearable is following different lines in the song. Be it the bass, drums, background vocals, etc. If your playing in a band you have to learn to tolerate bad songs, because everyone seems to request them. Although Taylor swift isn't a personal favorite, my 11 year old daughter loves her and thinks it's cool that daddy can play her songs - so we have a small jam session and my girl gets to belt out her version of "You belong with me".

Anything by Red Sovine. Teddybear, Gitty up go, Phantom 309, etc.

I'll get right on that. And if my posts tonight are more garbled than usual, it's just the treatment talking.

Oh, does this work if you are a recovering Baptist?
