This has to be one of the stupidest songs ever recorded:

[raccoon]

"Johnny Get Angry"

Songwriters: Hal David, Sherman Edwards

Johnny, I said we were through
Just to see what you would do
You stood there and hung your head
Made me wish that I were dead

Oh, Johnny get angry, Johnny get mad
Give me the biggest lecture I ever had
I want a brave man, I want a cave man
Johnny, show me that you care, really care for me

1. I remember hearing that on AM radio when I was

just a boy. I think Joanie Sommers wound up appearing in several of those "beach" pictures back in the mid-1960s.

[LeftinOH]

2. It's pretty bad -but it's probably the only hit song with an all-kazoo chorus. n/t

[raccoon]

3. I noticed that when I heard it this morning. Aargh! Thank goodness kazoos seem to be out of vogue.nt

[Throd]

4. Kazoo chorus? I remember it was a hoakey song, but I don't remember that!

I'll have to check it out again for the kazoos.

[MiddleFingerMom]

5. We had a HUGE informal student kazoo orchestra at our pep rallies -- hundreds of players.

.
.
.
This was the late 60's -- we also threw our fists up
in a power salute, but we extended our pinkies and
shouted.
.
.
.
It was MONTHS before the school administration caught
on and made us stop.
.
.
.
Instead of "RIGHT ON!!!", we were all shouting "HARD ON!!!"
.
.
.
Pepped us up, it did.

God I love that woman.

[AllenVanAllen]

8. The first time I saw her do that song on SNL,

I was awestruck. She's an all time favorite. She's simply amazing.

[nolabear]

19. Me too. I suspect I could fall in love with her given half a chance.

I've seen her twice in performance, and she is way beyond awesome.

[AllenVanAllen]

26. Now I have to share some of teh awesome.

K.D. Lang - You're OK http://youtu.be/zcZB-Oue96Q


K.D. Lang is love incarnate...

[MilesColtrane]

7. This one makes me want to give myself a lobotomy with an icepick.

[BlueJazz]

9. Amen, Brother DUer.....When I first heard that atrocity I thought: Well, something .....

....I can hate worse than "She's having my baby"

:)

[hifiguy]

13. Gotta disagree.

As awful as that Oliver song is, "She's Having My Baby" made me want to blow my brains out with an elephant gun every time I ever heard it. Worst hit song EVAH! :puke:

[pacalo]

10. I was spending the summer with my cousin when she bought that record.

She played it over & over & over -- can you imagine having to hear that song continuously for days? :crazy:

[raccoon]

11. Somebody want to start a thread on songs you really hate? I know that

it's been done before, but I reckon it's about time for another one.

[gratuitous]

12. Hey, that one actually gives the tenors the melody for a while

And the lyric is "Gliddy gloop gloopy," not "Glibby gloop gloopy," which makes all the difference in the world. This is a terrific song.

Admit that you stand corrected. Admit it!

[dixiegrrrrl]

22. ahhh...THAT song had me at "Glibby gloop gloopy Nibby Nabby Noopy "

:evilgrin:

[DFW]

14. And here I was ready for "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy" n/t

[solara]

15. This song drove me nutz.. and I still don't know why or how

I memorized these lyrics - I was just a kid



Wives & Lovers by Burt Bachrach

Hey, little girl, comb your hair, fix your make-up, soon he will open the door,
Don't think because there's a ring on your finger, you needn't try any more.

For wives should always be lovers too,
Run to his arms the moment that he comes home to you.
I'm warning you,

Day after day, there are girls at the office and the men will always be men,
Don't send him off, with your hair still in curlers, you may not see him again.

Wives should always be lovers too,
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you.
He's almost here,

hey, little girl, better wear something pretty,
Something you wear to go to the city,
Dim all the lights, pour the wine, start the music, time to get ready for love.

Time to get ready for love, yes it's time to get ready for love,
It's time to get ready, kick your shoes off, baby....,

[Mad_Dem_X]

16. That song makes me stabby. n/t

[frogmarch]

17. I spit on that song, and on the

one in the OP too.

I was a teenager in the 60s, but I try not to think about it.

[hifiguy]

20. Bacharach's music to that song was terrific.

But then an awful lot of Burt Bacharach's music was exceptional. The lyrics were by Hal David, Bacharach's main collaborator in those days.

[solara]

23. You are right.. I should have been clearer on that,,The music is almost

considered a jazz waltz standard by some. :hi:

[nolabear]

21. Holy crap. I'd never heard that one. I hope he got disabused of that notion!

"Time to get ready for insecurity, little girl..."

[frogmarch]

18. Yes! Gah! nt

[annabanana]

24. It was SOP for the times... completely unremarkable.

Those of us who are "of a certain age" remember it as just another song in the background of our lives. If we anted to go to college, it was to "find a man".. The jobs were secretary, nurse, teacher, librarian, stewardess, etc etc etc

[provis99]

25. worst song ever:

"If My Nose Were Full of Nickels, I’d Blow It All On You" -Dennis Warner Band
