Who left the cake out in the rain?

[hedgehog]

and does anyone have the recipe?

[Scuba]

1. Some Dick Hairy, or something like that.

[olddots]

2. YEEEEEEEECHHHHHHH

I had to play that song behind a guy who had a three note range so when I hear it I'm traumatized .You had to be there and you're lucky you weren't .

[The Magistrate]

3. It Has To Be Done, Ma'am...

[Dash87]

4. Pretentious, saccharine, and all around craptastic song.

[The Magistrate]

5. And That, Sir, Is The 'Pro' Side Of The Subject....

I know of only three songs to rival it for the absolute nadir of music ever heard on a radio.

[hedgehog]

7. Which 3?

[The Magistrate]

8. I Hate To Even Call The Sounds To Mind, Ma'am

'The Night Chicago Died' by Paper Lace

'Honey' by Bobby Goldsboro

'Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Old Oak Tree' by Tony Orlando

If you will forgive me, just to get the taste out of my mouth and get something else in my mind....

[The Magistrate]

13. Certainly Some High Class Dreck There, Sir, No Question....

[The Magistrate]

15. I Really Shouldn't Do This, Sir...

It is not kind.

[The Magistrate]

18. I Will Try Not To Hold It Against You, Sir

Wife says she kind of liked it, too.

I do not. I did not. I will not. It was bad. Very bad.

[The Magistrate]

23. That, Sir, Does Not Ring A Bell

Probably just as well....

[The Magistrate]

25. Traumatic Amnesia, Sir...

[The Magistrate]

31. They Were A Good Bunch, Sir

But this fella deserves to be better known....

[nomorenomore08]

44. Yeah! I hadn't heard Deville till recently but he's got some great stuff.

Here's a tune he co-wrote with Doc Pomus ("Save the Last Dance for Me" et. al.):

The Ramones, though, were maybe the greatest pure rock'n'roll band ever, for their first couple albums at least...

[Liberal Veteran]

36. Flying alligator lizards are terrifying. -nt

[BainsBane]

47. I don't consider it in the same league with the others

[Callmecrazy]

49. Me too...

[hedgehog]

27. When I was nursing my third child in the new born nursery at the hospital -

that song was always on the radio. Think of all the newborns marked for life......

[The Magistrate]

29. I Was Trapped With Nothing But An A.M. Radio That Season, Ma'am

I heard it much too often.

[hedgehog]

32. Does AM radio still exist?

[The Magistrate]

34. I Think So, Ma'am

Though there is nothing in the house today that would receive such a broadcast.

When I was a kid in Indianapolis, there was no rock station; you put a radio up on the sill of a window facing north and fiddled wityh the knob till you had WLS from Chicago....

[Liberal Veteran]

37. I always wondered in all those days in the desert, he couldn't name the horse.

That's just lazy.

[The Magistrate]

40. Good Point, Sir

But when you start out with 'there were plants and birds and rocks and things' for a description, you are clearly dealing with someone so slovenly he cannot even look out of his own eyes....

[BainsBane]

46. DUzy!

[Liberal Veteran]

43. Nothing is more craptastic than this song.

[hedgehog]

6. We have all revealed ourselves as old farts!

[kentauros]

30. I am so glad that even at 52 I don't know the words,

as I never listened to the stations that played it, I guess.

Y'all have your fun. I'd much rather memorize the words to Kip Addotta's "Wet Dream"

[Yavin4]

9. Who wants all that sweet green icing anyway?

Yeeech.

[olddots]

10. Nights in white Satin ?????

I Am I Said , Song Sung Blue and the most maudlin Color My World .......

[rug]

11. Oh, leave him alone.

[graham4anything]

16. IT's a love story, always was and always will be.

and it's one of the greatest lyrics of all time by Hall of Fame songwriter Jimmy Webb.

And in an oddity, the girl involved is Susan Ronstadt, Linda Ronstadt's cousin
and MacArthur Park (singular not with an S) was where they went to eat lunch often

The recipe is a true lost love
Never have it again means to never again find that true love

[In_The_Wind]

42. We all know how that will end!

[hedgehog]

26. OK - i admit I like it....

[In_The_Wind]

19. Jon

No

[Liberal Veteran]

33. Someone.

And sorry, I'll never have that recipe again.

[HarveyDarkey]

35. What, no mention of this guy on the thread?

Pretty much everything he ever did, IMO

[olddots]

38. You all have no FEELINGS

nothing more than feelings .....................

[Wounded Bear]

39. Sorry, that was me.....but I live in Seattle...

who would've thought that it might rain?

[applegrove]

45. Loved that song as a teen. Of course I didn't really listen to the words. Why would you with a pop

song.
