Cheesy songs you just love.

[dmccombe7]

Murder On the Dancefloor - think its just Guy's bass line that makes it but it is a very cheesy disco song.

[Geek99]

Journey and Don't stop believing

I'm sorry, but the couplet [b]'I want to be, just as close as, The Holy Ghost...s' is [/b]just so arse-clenchingly poor that it disqualifies it. One of the worst lyrics of all time. If it has to be that sorta By Jovi thing, then Blaze Of Glory's virtually the same thing, with a little less clenching...

But that is what makes it cheesy. If the lyric was up there with Keats or Browning it wouldnt be teeth grating would it?

[addictedtobass]

mine are ,woman in love by barbera streisand and a little bit more by Dr Hook..................I'll get me coat !

[niagra]

Bananarama - Love in the First Degree and Nathan Jones (especially the dance moves in the chorus), love 'em.

[Crawford13]

You can call me Al - Paul Simon, it's so good! Cheese Gold!

We played a wedding last year where Chesney Hawkes was a guest. 'I am the one and only' drove me nuts at the time but having to learn it and write it out for the rest of the band meant I found a lot of respect for it- it's got more key changes than Yale RnD. He was super slick and professional as well, very polite and sang great.

At last, someone else who admires Kershaw's songwriting.

PPAP - Pure cheese & makes my niece smile!

Dancing Queen is the one song I can truly say that I detest. Abba were great musically, but that song does everything in the most irritating way.

[el borracho]

There's nobody to me more cheesy than Barry Manilow, but I think the arrangement of Could It Be Magic is perfection.

[Ashweb]

For me, I think it has to be 'Yes sir, I can boogie' by Baccara. I was 8 at the time - that's my excuse, anyway
Or there's 'Uptown top ranking' by Althia and Donna - not just cheesy, but the whole damned cheese board...

Perhaps we should compile the top ten 'cheesy listening' songs.

'It's time to bring this ship into the shore / And throw away the oars...' What a lyric.

[tauzero]

A-Ha - Take on me. Wanted to do that with the last band but the guitarist wasn't keen and Mrs Zero was a bit ambivalent about coping with the vocals.

[casapete]

Downtown, Petula Clark. Great song that builds, with great pedal bass part.
You call it cheesey, I call it brilliant.

Nik Kershaw is an absolute genius composer. The album Radio Musicola is wall to wall quality.

Saw you'd posted here Bilbo and was hoping you were going to admit to loving Moondance!

Yesterday Once More by The Carpenters.
Karen Carpenter was a drummer apparently. I didn't know that.
