It's good to hear someone defending my all-time favourite Hoople, but there's something about some of the lines that sounds pretty cheesy...
"Hey! Dudes!" (maybe it was hearing David Letterman mockingly throw this into one of his monologues about 30 times)
"I wanna reLATE to you!"
"You, with the glasses..." |

There's a video?!? Thanks for the heads up!
And one more that I completely forgot...the song that single-handedly justifies the entire disco era...

Your brother must've warned you against Jacaranda Fm right? Listening to just five minutes of that crap would have ruined your holiday.

Hey, it was that or PM Live! on SABC...
My bro came back and asked me to download all these tracks he got to love in SA: so I guess, his vote on this thread would be
Billy Joel - We Didn't Start The Fire
"You ever seen a man say goodbye to a shoe?"
"Yes, once..." |

Ramona - thank you for reminding me how much I love that song.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but, rather to skid in sideways, thoroughly used, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming "Fuck, what a trip!" |

ON THE WINGS OF LOVE (Jeffrey Osborne)
On the wings of love
Up and above the clouds
The only way to fly
Is on the wings of love
On the wings of love
Only the two of us
Together flying high
Flying high
Upon the wings of love
Always loved this song. My secret is out now, do I need professional help? |

I hate that song, hate it. But the video is deliciously cheesy.
I still don't understand what's going on in there. And what
was the deal with the jean overalls?

| How about "You Can Dance if You Want To"? I don't even know if that's what it's called, but it's a great (bad) song. And Come On Eileen is pure bliss. Does anyone else think he sounds like Robert Smith in that song? |

No doubt, I remember that one. Might have been the first "raggaeish" song that I ever heard.
I get Wham's Wake Me Up song stuck in my head too often. |

Yep, I agree that Kevin Rowland sounds a lot like Robert Smith. Dexys Midnight Runners' Too-Rye-Aye was one of the first records I ever bought back in '82.Celtic Soul Brothers, one of the songs on that record still makes me feel happy when I hear it.
Anyone remembers Boney M ? They certainly take the prize for the largest contribution of cheesy songs. Don't Kill The World, Rivers Of Babylon, Rasputin, Angelo .............. Feel free to add some more.

Cups and Cakes came from the cheesy-part of their careers, before they got a taste of the metal music. |

Boney M never broke in the States but I can, proudly, add many more songs. Here are but two: Brown Girl in the Ring, Ma Baker.
Safety Dance.....I get chills.

One of my work colleagues just got an official warning for playing Boney M at work.

She shoud've been sent packing.
I once owned a Boney M Christmas album. I sold it two weeks later. Too much even for my 12 year old ears

It was a he and he specialises in cheesy music.
My mother has that Boney M Christmas album - enough to ensure I'm not ever home for christmas. Years and years of having to endure that one.
Damn I now have that little drummer boy whatever song in my head. AAAAAAaaaargh!
