What's the cheesiest 70's song that you actually like?

Being in my mid-fifties, I love 70's music (well, 97% of it!). But let's be honest, there were a lot of really cheesy songs, many of which can be really cringe-worthy today, decades later. But there are some that, though really cheesy, I still like and enjoy, even if secretly at times.

For me, it's a dead heat between this ultra-cheesy 70's version of Romeo and Juliet by David Geddes:



And this Austin Roberts one that always made my ten-year-old self cry, much to the equal annoyance and amusement of my parents:



I don't think it's much of a surprise that, to my knowledge, not much was ever heard from these two afterwards, lol. So, what's your guilty pleasure? God knows there's enough to choose from!

1. The title (if nothing else) was inspired by a crab cocktail at Clyde’s Bar in Georgetown.

2. The heart of SVB was Bill and Taffy Dannoff, who co-wrote Take Me Home Country Roads with John Denver, and are also given performance credit with him on the record as Fat City.

One of the great pleasures on my life was being on the transportation committee for the Jacksonville Jazz Fest in the 90's.

Got to meet some really good artist. Chuck Mangione wanted to go to a Hooters after his set. We would take an assigned artist anywhere they wanted, so off we went.

He had heard of Hooters and wanted to go. He wasn't happy they did not serve anything but beer, but loved the food.

One couple was on their honeymoon and he went on the deck and played for them. They were thrilled to say the least.

A few days later, I received a FedEx and Chuck had sent me a thank you card, CD and his NY address with an invitation to visit anytime. I really regret not doing that.

This song will always take me back to summer days at the neighborhood pool, where they blasted a “rock’ music station all day. “Brandy” was in heavy rotation.

This is perhaps my fondest memory of growing up — swimming in that pool and playing card games with my friends during rest breaks. Cost 50 cents to get in.

Mon Oct 25, 2021, 12:06 AM

The show was incredibly cheesy, but I watched it anyway, because, well...David Cassidy. I also liked the songs for the same reason. They were catchy and tuneful, but without his voice, I don't think I would have gotten pulled in. I still think he had a great voice.

I considered myself too old to be a Partridge Family fan. The intended demographic was obviously tweens and young teens, and I was about the same age as David. (Two weeks older, to be honest.) But I thought he had a great voice and he was cute, and I liked him in spite of the fact that he was on such a cheesy show.

Mon Oct 25, 2021, 08:56 AM

... it was on the episode "My Son, the Feminist", where the issue of the week has Keith (David Cassidy) self identifying as a feminist because he has the hots for a girl activist in the movement. The conservatives in town get upset and hassle his mom to keep the family from playing a rally the feminist group is planning that the wingers want shut down.

This episode has not aged well, and is pretty cringey to modern eyes. The feminist ideas are not portrayed accuratly by those in the group, those opposed to them, or by the Partridges, as the writers either only had a superficial knowledge of what real women's libbers were trying to accomplish or were deliberately indifferent.

This version is high def video, with a spruced up audio adding some extra drums and some clapping.

Mon Oct 25, 2021, 01:42 AM
Oct 2021

BUT I LOVE IT SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH

This video has been color restored and sharpened to the highest quality I could obtain. From Wikipedia: Blue Swede was a Swedish rock band from the early- to mid-1970s that succeeded with a few singles which were covers of other artists' material. The band was first formed in 1973, when Björn Skifs, a top vocalist in Sweden, was looking for a band to accompany him during his concerts.
The band was originally called "Blåblus" (Swedish for "blue blouse", a pun on the word "blues&quot and featured Skifs singing the lead vocals. The band got their international breakthrough in 1974 with their cover of the 1969 B. J. Thomas song "Hooked on a Feeling".
Released that same year on their album Hooked on a Feeling, Blue Swede's version was adapted from British pop eccentric Jonathan King, using his ooga-chaka ooga-chaka background on a version he had earlier recorded of the same song. "Hooked on a Feeling" was released in Sweden in May 1973 and in the United States in February 1974, and reached #1 for one week in the U.S. staying in the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 18 weeks. The R.I.A.A. granted gold disc status on 28 March 1974. The track also topped charts in Canada, Australia and the Netherlands.

I don't like Run Joey Run..LOL

Quick Joey Small is from 1967, so it isn't a 70's song

Run Joey Run, Run...The hounds are on the trail.....

Actually, speaking of the ‘70s, this whole list would make a great K-Tel album, where you had 20 songs to a side. Nothing like hearing an edited-down “Theme from Shaft”.
