You Take my breath away/ Eric Carmen

" Oh You, I don't know what to say, you take my breath away".

repeat 50 times.

A very close second choice from near the same year.

Artist: Michael Martin Murphey Lyrics
Song: Wildfire Lyrics

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

Oh, they say she died one winter
When there came a killing frost
And the pony she named Wildfire
Busted down its stall
In a blizzard he was lost

She ran calling Wildfire [x3]
By the dark of the moon I planted
But there came an early snow
There's been a hoot-owl howling by my window now
For six nights in a row
She's coming for me, I know
And on Wildfire we're both gonna go

We'll be riding Wildfire [x3]

On Wildfire we're gonna ride
Gonna leave sodbustin' behind
Get these hard times right on out of our minds
Riding Wildfire

You're breaking my heart.

At your recommendation, I would be willing to consider giving it a second chance. After all I was 10 or 11 and just sick of hearing it so much.
Maybe time has mellowed me?

That's what I get for typing too fast. I was thinking of both Debbie Boone & Maureen McGovern, and trying to decide which one I hated more, and wound up putting parts of both. :)

For me, most music by Celine Dion, but especially that theme from The Titanic, which i see is listed.

There's another list online somewhere of the 50 worst songs, and the worst one on that was "We Built this City" by Starship.

Two words:

"Muskrat Love"

[pup_ajax]

i always wondered if muskrats really make those squeaky little sounds on the record ... or was that actually Tennille?

[ursusarctos]

TMI?, eh :D

I think I've written about this before, but ...

I loathe "Break Out" by Swing Out Sister so much that I'm actually compelled to sit and watch the video anytime it comes on and re-experience my hatred. That whole era of British lite-pseudo-jazz-pop was pretty bad anyway, but that one really takes the prize.

I'm not even sure it's such a bad song, it just makes me cringe. And the video with the kooky chick making kooky fashions and being kooky and wearing a LOT of black plastic bracelets.

I loathe that song so much, I'm almost to the point of loving it in a really sick, perverse way.

Meanwhile, I'm "over" people hating on "We Built This City." Because, dude, there are much WORSE songs by Jefferson/Starship. Like "Sara," for starters. ;-)

Thank you for this.

I thought Spandau Ballet started the Euro-PhauxJazz Cosmetic which meant that if there weren't horns and a genuine string section, you were shit. Only thing is, that's when sampled synths were more affordable, and more producers could fake that sound (a-hem).

[nlotic]

I'm with you on "We Built This City".
