Bubble Gum tunes and sugary songs

[Neil Lisst]

You love 'em, you hate, you sing 'em in spite of yourself.

You know what they are.

Let's hear which song gets you singing like a drunk girl from Winnipeg.

Is it ABBA's DANCING QUEEN?!

or maybe ...

YOUUUUUUU LIGHT UP MY LIFEEEEE!

Fess up. Which ones get you going?

[NMMNG]

1. Dancing Queen

And what's that about drunk girls from Winnipeg?

[Neil Lisst]

6. The former group from Toronto, Kids in the Hall, had a ...

... they had a segment once called DRUNK GIRL FROM WINNIPEG.

She stood on the dance floor by the speakers and danced by herself into the speakers when songs came on.

I used it because my cartoonist partner lives in Winnipeg, so I like to drop Winnipeg into conversations whenever I can.

"There's got to be a Morning After" ..(from the Poseidon Adventure)

With a side of Elvis and some RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE for dessert.

15. You prolly ought to rub his belly

before you get too close to the Kitteny Claws of Death. Just a suggestion, one friend to another. ;)

[Floogeldy]

16. I'm terribly sorry.

There apparently has been a horribly embarrassing communication breakdown here.

I sincerely apologize from the bottom of my heart and promise never to broach the subject again. I feel so ashamed.

Please forgive me.

[Heidi]

[Floogeldy]

27. I scraped some of that off of the floor for my breakfast today.

[Heidi]

28. That's some kind of Canadian dish, isn't it?

:scared:

[Floogeldy]

29. I couldn't say.

I've never been to Canadia. ;)

[Heidi]

30. Technically, you _could_ say, but

you wouldn't be speaking with authority. :evilgrin:

[mykpart]

5. You reminded me of the group for whom the term was created:

The Archies, and their hit, "Sugar, sugar." Not even a real group.

[Neil Lisst]

11. true. he was one guy, a studio musician.

oh sugar, oh honey, honey

First time I ever heard that song was in an NCO club in Taipei when a Filipino cover band played it badly.

You should have heard them sing "I'm your Venus, I'm your fire, George desire." (it's 'at your desire.')

9. My son was born in 1971, and I used to sing

"Close to You" (The Carpenters) to him while I rocked him to sleep! It still puts a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye.

[Neil Lisst]

12. I know that feeling! They really did sing beautifully.

It was such a shame she couldn't overcome that eating disorder.

About the same time ...

OOOOO, MEMORIES ...

Like a big stick of buttah.

13. I guess anything by Neil Sedaka makes my teeth hurt

Breaking up is hard to do
Calendar girl
Happy birthday sweet sixteen
Laughter in the rain
Little devil
Love will keep us together
Next door to an angel
Oh Carol
