As someone who has been a member of DU for over 13 years I know posting this you will judge me badly

[LynneSin]

I love this song. I don't care how corny it was, it was a great fricking song that should be loved by EVERYONE!!!!

[Coventina]

1. It's a great song! Although I prefer the Kingston Trio version.

I remember being in grade school and singing an off-color version of the chorus
(keep in mind it was the 1970s):

We had joy we had fun
We went streaking in the sun
But the cops they had guns
so they shot us in the buns

[Brigid]

19. I like your version much better!

[Coventina]

20. It's a classic right up there with "Jingle bells, Batman smells"

[Art_from_Ark]

28. That song was from the original Batman movie

Some of us sang those lyrics in place of the standard ones in one of our elementary school Christmas preformances.
Ah, those were the days.

[redwitch]

2. Oh Lynne!

I am disappointed. Bad, bad song.

[Aristus]

3. You would have to do a lot worse than that for me to judge you harshly, Lynne.

There are so few of us 2001-ers left...

[malthaussen]

4. Nah, everyone has her quirks.

Lots of times the music we love most is based on who we were when we first heard it. Or even worse, who we think we were when we first heard it, viewed through a rather-rose-colored memory.

5. I join you in your appreciation of this song...

I also enjoy listening to Journey, Styx, Foreigner, Loverboy, and many of the so-called "corporate bands".

[Kaleva]

6. I'd think less of anyone who likes this cover by Nirvana.

[LynneSin]

7. OMG that is so off key

it's so bad that I kinda like it

[Tommy_Carcetti]

8. I prefer this version:

[KamaAina]

9. Almost as good as...

[Silver Swan]

10. The Pearls Before Swine version is the only version I knew

for many years. I never knew why people seemed to hate the song.

[Phentex]

11. Well I heard ELO in the car yesterday and

you are the first person I thought of!

[Ron Obvious]

12. Hell, I bought the 45

I keep it hidden beneath a stack of deviant porno magazines so my friends don't think I'm weird.

[LynneSin]

14. I would have only thought you were weird if....

you liked listening to Terry Jack's "Seasons in the Sun" while looking thru your deviant porno magazines.

I hope that's not the case. If it is you might not want to share that with others.

[In_The_Wind]

13. It is a beautiful song.

[CBGLuthier]

15. OMG, I thought I was the only one.

Talking to a friend about it just a few weeks ago. Always liked it even with the sentimental sentiment.

[bluesbassman]

16. On edit, I noticed Kaleva already posted the Nirvana version.

Posting it twice would be too painful.

[Kaleva]

21. Nirvana, as a Terry Jacks tribute band, sucked.

[denbot]

17. Damn it, where's my Muskrat Love 45..

I have a mountain of deviant porno to sift through so I may..

Oh my..

[LynneSin]

18. I gueess you saw my reply to Ron Obvious

Because yes I will judge any DUer who likes looking at deviant porn while listening to goofy 70's love ballads like "Seasons in the Sun" or "Muskrat Love"

[whistler162]

22. At least it isn't a dog picture.....

you would have the cat thread creators down on you in no time.

[UTUSN]

23. You can't be judged n/t

[laundry_queen]

24. Well

It's not Nickelback, so think you will be OK.

[LynneSin]

25. I wouldn't know a Nickelback song if it walked up to me and slapped me across the forehead

I do happen to like 3 songs by Creed but let's just keep that between you and me ok!

[laundry_queen]

26. LOL

I actually know (and gasp, like!) quite a few Nickelback songs - my ex and his best friend grew up with the band members so we knew about them before they 'made it big'.

[applegrove]

27. I loved it too.

[logosoco]

29. While I would never put it on my iPod

this song does bring back some wonderful memories of early adolescence. Going to the roller skating rink every Friday night.
Another song from that era was "Billy, Don't Be a Hero".

[LynneSin]

34. Got it on my Ipod...

It's part of some CD collection of crazy bad music from the 70s

[Art_from_Ark]

30. Wasn't that one of the songs on K-Tel's

"Super Sappy Songs of the Seventies" album, performed by that great new group, The Sound Effects?

[pipi_k]

31. Well, I for one

do not judge you badly, because I like that song also.

And a whole lot of other really shitty...er, I mean GREAT songs just like it!


Awesomely shitty...

[Generic Brad]

32. MY EARS!!!!

That is my personal rick roll.

[madfloridian]

33. Irish group Westlife did nice job on it. I loved Rod McKuen's a lot.

Had it on 8 track.
