What song(s) are you embarrassed that you know all the words?

[RevolutionaryActs]

I'll start, since thats the only fair thing.

Ok, I.. oh god.. ok I... know the words to...... Baby One More Time, AND Oops, I Did It Again. I don't know why I know the words, I think its because I was 13, they were played EVERYWHERE! and I just learned them through osmosis.

I also know all the words to, The Bad Touch by The Bloodhound Gang, its my guilty pleasure song.

You're turn... or feel free to make fun of me for mine, I won't mind. :P

[cruadin]

1. The Oscar Meyer Song.

You know the one---

My bologna has a first name,
it's O S C A R
etc., etc.

[RevolutionaryActs]

2. Doesn't everyone know that song?

Hell, thats how I learned to spell! :P

[cruadin]

10. No matter how many people know the words to it,...

I will never feel anything but a low, smoldering shame whenever those jouncy lyrics echo through my head.

[qnr]

15. and the Armour hot dogs one too n/t

[johnnie]

3. 100 bottles of beer on the wall

I know..I know, go ahead and flame away. I am so embarrassed.

[RevolutionaryActs]

:crazy:

[qnr]

13. Even more embarrassing, I understand many of these:

5. Gypsies Tramps & Thieves

I wuz born in the wagon of a travelling show....

[Midlodemocrat]

12. Hey!!!! I do a real, mean Cher impersonation

...but I mainly stick to If I could turn back time. It always makes the teenager straighten up when I threaten to sing it in the mall parking lot.

[mykpart]

46. There's a parody to that song which starts out

"Check out my burnt behind.
How did it get that way?

[motely36]

17. whooooooooooooooa

Thats my Cher impersonation

[u4ic]

6. Wildfire

She comes down from Yellow Mountain
On the dark flat land she rides
On a pony she named Wildfire
With a whirlwind by her side
On a cold Nebraska night.

Ugh...but it was the first song I'd ever memorized, I was about 7 or 8, and I was horse crazy.

[tjdee]

7. Vanilla Ice...Alright stop. Collaborate and listen.

Ice is back with a brand new invention
Something
Grabs a hold of me tightly
Then I flow like a harpoon daily and nightly

Will it ever stop?
Yo, I don't know
Turn off the lights
And I glow

To the extreme I rock the mic like a vandal
Light up the stage and wax a chump like a candle

(Which eventually leads to)

If there was a problem
Yo, I'll solve it
Check out my hook while my dj revolves it

SIGH!

[RevolutionaryActs]

16. HAHAHA My brother knows the words too, I use to be able to do the whole

song too, but now I only remember parts. hehe So don't feel too bad. :7

[tjdee]

32. Man, LOL. It comes out at the weirdest times...

I'd be at a job interview and the only thing going through my mind would be that!

[RevolutionaryActs]

35. ROFL! Hilarious!

I have a picture in my head now... sitting in a quiet office.. no sound, but the slight buzzing of the AC, all is peaceful..... then ever so faintly.. "vanilla ice, ice baby. Too cool, too cool."......

[Spinzonner]

8. Mr Ed

"Of Course"

[jellybelly]

[motely36]

14. the first song that comes to mind is Copacabana

Although there are many others. Thankfully, the list does not include any Britney. :)

[RevolutionaryActs]

19. Stop bragging! You.. you... uh.... BRAGGER!

:P

[motely36]

20. Bragging? Who's bragging?

Barry vs. Britney

hmmmm.....who's really worse?

[RevolutionaryActs]

21. What?!!? Berry writes the songs that make the whole world sing!

:silly:


And at least Berry isn't some cum guzzling, gutter slut.

[motely36]

22. Well, he could be....

after all, he was Bette Midler's piano player when she played the gay bathes in the early 70's. So you never know.

[RevolutionaryActs]

24. Oooh good point. n/t

[tuvor]

31. The Cum-Guzzling Gutter Sluts

At last, my band has a name.

[RevolutionaryActs]

33. LMAO! Really? LOL Thats awesome! Great name!

:7

[tuvor]

37. Well, I mean if I HAD a band.

In the meantime, the name's up for grabs. Sorry to disappoint.

:(

[RevolutionaryActs]

39. Awwwwwwwww, if I had anyone musical talent, I would say to you..

Lets start a band!... but alas! I have no musical talent, so I will not say that to you. :(

[NightTrain]

18. Rubber Duckie, Billy Don't Be A Hero, The Night Chicago Died...

Shall I go on?

[qnr]

23. Brandy (You're A Fine Girl) by Looking Glass n/t

[Left Is Write]

[SW FL Dem]

57. Same here! One of my first 45s

I think I still have it somewhere.

[CO Liberal]

25. The Theme Song to "My Mother The Car"

Also "Gilligan's Island", "The Love Boat", "Car 54, Where are You?", "F Troop", and the first seaso's lyrics for "The Partridge Family".

Also "Batman". :-)

[sybylla]

26. Hey, Ray. Tell 'em who we are.

Well we're big rock singers
we've got golden fingers
and we're loved every where we go.
We sing about beauty
And we sing about truth
At ten thousand dollars a show.

We take all kinds of pills
To give us all kinds of thrills
But the thrill we'll never know
Is the thrill that'll getcha when ya
Get your picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone

Chorus
Rolling Stone
Gonna see my picture on the cover
Stone
Gonna buy five copies for my mother
Stone
Gonna see my smiling face
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

Gotta freaky ol' lady name o' Cocaine Katy
who embroiders on my jean
Got my poor ol' gray haired daddy
Driving my limousine

Now it's all designed
to blow our minds
but our mind won't really be blown
like the blow that'll getcha
when you get your picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone

Chorus

Gotta lotta little teenage blue-eyed groupies
Who'll do anything we say
Gotta genuine Indian guru teaching us a better way
Got all the friends that money can buy
So we never have to be alone
And we keep richer but we can't get our picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

Chorus



On the Cover of the Rolling Stone by Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show. I used to love to sing to it when I was a kid and didn't realize I had the lyrics memorized until 15 years later when I met someone else who like the song to and we sang it together beginning to end.

[RevolutionaryActs]

Ok.. get off my thread. Dr. Hook, Cover of the rolling stone IS GREAT!

Great ya hear! :P

If its wrong to love that song, then I really don't want to be right!

[sybylla]

34. It is great. I love it, I tell ya.

I just don't tell very many people that I love it. Heck, I'm glad you're old enough to have heard it before and I don't have to explain it to you - which is generally the source of any embarassment in admitting it.

[RevolutionaryActs]

36. Pfffft anyone who doesn't like that song is stupid!

And not worth your time. ;)

"old enough to have heard it"? There's an age limit? :P

[Left Is Write]

27. I am MOST embarrassed

that I know all the words to Garth Brooks' "Ain't Goin' Down 'Til The Sun Comes Up" AND that I can sing along at the same breakneck speed he does.

I am shamed.

:scared:

[TroubleMan]

28. Jam On It

It's a guilty pleasure

[JimmyJazz]

29. Thunder Road - My friends and I would sing it in public when we were

"happy" What can I say? We're a little odd.

[qnr]

30. Oh yeah, two others: In The Year 2525, and Reflections of My Life

by Zager and Evans (actually "In The Year 2525 (Exordium & Terminus)"), and The Marmalade (yes, "The"), respectively


In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive
They may find........

In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies
Everything you think, do, or say
Is in the pill you took today

etc.


====
The changing of sunlight to moonlight
Reflections of my life, oh, how they fill my eyes
The greetings of people in trouble
Reflections of my life, oh, how they fill my mind

All my sorrows, sad tomorrows
Take me back to my own home
All my cryings (all my cryings), feel i'm dying, dying
Take me back to my own home (oh i'm going home)

etc.

[auntAgonist]

38. I realize the way your eyes deceive me ....

with tender looks that I mistook for love.


Paper Roses! GAG!!!!!!!!!

[arwalden]

40. Car Wash. Afternoon Delight. Gypsies Tramps And Thieves

[amber dog democrat]

78. I wuz born on the wagon of a traveling show

my mother used to dance for the money they'd blow.

[livinginphotographs]

41. Like every card-carrying suburban white boy...

"Gin and Juice" by Snoop Dogg.

Extra credit goes to those who know the "Fresh Prince" theme.

[RevolutionaryActs]

43. Ok here goes..

I shooting some b-ball outside of school when a couple of guys started making trouble in my neighborhood, I got in one little fight and my mom got scared, and said you're moving with auntie and uncle in Bel Air.

Oh shit.. I can't remember the rest NO!!!!!!!! :(

[livinginphotographs]

45. I whistled for a cab, and when it came near.

The license plate said "Fresh"
And it had dice in the mirror.
If anything I thought that this cab was rare
But I thought, "Nah, forget it,"
"Yo holmes, to Bel Air!"
Dun dun dun dun duh
I - rolled - up to house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabbie,
"Yo holmes smell you later."
Looked at my kingdom, I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel Air.

Dun dun dun dunnn dunnn dun dun


And while we're on the subject....

With so much drama in the L-B-C
It's kinda hard bein' Snoopy O double-G
But-uh, some how, some way
I keep coming up with funky-ass shit like every single day.


And so on...

[RevolutionaryActs]

50. YEAH!!!! There we go, now I wont have to insane and rack my brain

Every song off their first album is good. Overplayed, yes, but still good.

[samplegirl]

44. for some odd reason

All the words to Courtship of Eddies Father i use to sing it every

People let me tell ya bout my best friend wether were talkin man to

Lord I can't go back there....

[Spinzonner]

75. "lecture" not "blister"

[amber dog democrat]

77. oh... honestly I never knew the real lyrics.

That;s kinda like" Help Me Rhonda"

"Since she put me down, there's been owls pooping on my head "

[MadAsHell]

48. My Ding-A-Ling by Chuck Berry

When I was a little biddy boy
My grandma bought me a cute little toy
Two Silver bells on a string
She told me it was my ding-a-ling-a-ling

My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling won't you play with My Ding-A-Ling
My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling won't you play with My Ding-A-Ling

When I was little boy In Grammar school
Always went by the very best rule
But Evertime the bell would ring
You'd catch me playing with my ding-a-ling

Once while climbing the garden wall,
Slipped and fell had a very bad fall
I fell so hard I heard birds sing,
But I held on to My ding-a-ling

Once while swimming cross turtle creek
Man them snappers right at my feet
Sure was hard swimming cross that thing
with both hands holding my dingaling

Now this here song it ain't so bad
Prettiest little song that you ever had
And those of you who will not sing
must be playing with your on Ding-a-ling

[MrScorpio]

49. Home on the Range

Strange, since I've never been to Kansas, nor any range

Sang with a buddy from Kansas... and no, we weren't drunk

Oh yeah, that and the theme from the "Beverly Hillbillies"

[mykpart]

51. Well, this is really embarassing, but I know the words to

two of the Carpenters' songs:

Lovers & Other Strangers ("Love, look at the two of us, strangers in many ways, etc.)

and "Close To You." (Why do birds suddenly appear every time you walk near?)

[Left Is Write]

52. Just like me, they long to be...close to yoooou!

[Red State Rebel]

53. We've Only Just Begun was sung at my first wedding :)

Can you guess the year?

[CO Liberal]

64. It Was Sung At My First Wedding in 1974

Am I close?? :shrug:

[Red State Rebel]

76. Yep, 1976

To make it worse, the band at the reception decided to play Stand By Your Man....HAHAHAHAHA!!!

[BiggJawn]

54. Aqualung.

NOBODY does Aqualung anymore!

[FDRrocks]

55. Whatcha Waiting For

Osmosis, too. In all reality Gwen Stefani would be on the top of my hit list.

Her life: Ask big brother if you can join his band, get lucky when lead singer kills himself, big brother leaves band, take over the band, release a hit album then fire the horn section, sell out, drop the band, sings songs about how you love being rich, and then act like you are the first person to figure out that some Japanese ladies dress cool.

Whatever.

[StrongbadTehAwesome]

56. I like big BUTTS and I cannot lie

You other brothers can't deny... ok, I won't make you endure the rest of that.

Also, Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire."

[SW FL Dem]

58. Shout

and I embarrass the heck out of my kid when I insist on dancing to it at every wedding, bar/bat mitzvah we go to.

[libnnc]

59. Muskrat Love

I have a secret love for the Captain...and his very vexing Tenille

:silly:

[WCGreen]

67. I always thought that the sounds in the middle of the song

sounded like synthesizer farts...

[WMliberal]

60. a few old paula abdul songs

I had a big crush on her when I was 10... :hurts:

[Lydia Leftcoast]

61. "We are Santa's reindeer, we've learned to sing this year...

So we can tell everyone
Christmas Day is near.
We're on our way
With a great big sleigh
Full of lots of toys
Choo-choo trains and candy canes
For all you girls and boys
Jingle bells, oh, jingle bells
Ring your happy tune
Flying high up in the sky
Hi there, Mr. Moon."

I think it was in 1959 or 1960, but this song, with an accompanying cartoon, was played several times a day on TV during the holiday season. It wormed its way into my childish brain, where it remains to this day.

Do I win?

[Minstrel Boy]

62. "Candy Apple Red" by R Dean Taylor

Favourite song when I was, I dunno - 12? Obsessive love and romantic suicide. Did I know what it was about? Only vaguely.

I can't turn back!
Things are turnin' black!
My hand's gone numb!!!
Here it comes!
Here it comes!
Here it comes!
Here it comes!

Candy Apple Red - the colour of her lips where I used to kneel and pray
Candy Apple Red - the sun going down for the last time today
Candy Apple Red - the colour of my life as I watch it slip away
Candy Apple Red - someone please pray for me on Sunday!

I'm also embarrassed to own this album. (Though it doesn't have Candy Apple Red, it does have Indiana Wants Me ("Lord I can't go back there.")



About R. Dean Taylor:

R. Dean Taylor started his career in his home of Toronto in 1961 playing piano and singing with various groups at all the big Toronto clubs as well as recording several singles for the Audiomaster label that were poor quality and received little if no airplay.

...

While developing his production techniques, Taylor recorded "Gotta See Jane" on his own which hit the Top 20 in England. Motown Records owner Barry Gordy Jr. decided to take a chance with Taylor on his newly established white artist's label Rare Earth from which they released "Indiana Wants Me" in 1970. The song went to No.1 across North America.

Following the release of his debut album, "Gotta See Jane" was re-released and went Top 10 in Canada. R. Dean Taylor continued writing and producing for various artists throughout the '70's.

Taylor made a brief, unsuccessful comeback attempt in 1981/82.

71. Every last song on Purple Rain

On second thought, I'm not embarrassed about that at all. :)

The entire Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack...hmm, no, not embarrassed about that either.

Okay, maybe all of the songs from Once More With Feeling (aka Buffy: The Musical). That's a tad geeky of me. :D

Those I learned on purpose, but I do pick up song lyrics without trying, too, and have been known to sing along with some horrendous crap when it comes on the radio. I can't help it. I have to sing everything.

And I sing in my car.

[liberalpress]

72. The theme from "Bewitched"

[murielm99]

73. The theme song to Car 54 Where Are You?

74. Bye Bye Bye

[davis_islander]

79. And it comes right down...

And it lands on the ground
And out comes a man from mars
So you try to run
But he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead
And he eats your head
And now you're in the man from mars...........
