ryanr's Journal: You know what one of the dirtiest songs ever is?

"Sky Rockets in Flight" by the Starland Vocal Band.

Which one of you is responsible for that being stuck in my head? We were having a nice discussion about "99 Red Baloons" and Bam! Skyrockets. Why?

Ah. I haven't heard the song before, but I heard of it.

I actually find skyrockets more insidious. Your song is very overt, and there are lots of those. However, skyrockets managed to plant in my brain 20-somthing years ago, in a dormant state, appearing to be about a 4th of July celebration or something. Only to be activated a couple of years ago by VH1, causing my brain to melt.

Ah, it's YOUR song... that's where I heard of it, from you. Some discussion about covers or similar. Geeze, I'm a dumbass. So why don't you have a .mp3 download of it available for me?

I think you played that for me around 90/91. I hope you still have it (and some of the others).

You're right.. it is Afternoon Delight, isn't it? I checked that, too... damn you Google!

Easy Lover sounds vaguely familiar. I'm not going to think too hard about it, though. You'll have to find some other victim to pass your song onto.

Oh man, I'm tempted to sing (well, post) BOTH those songs just to annoy you guys...but I'm better than that, I keep telling myself.

Every now and then for kicks, I'll turn on the local country music station. I like old country -- Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, stuff you get on Smithsonian collections -- but the New Country crap is absolutely fucking hilarious. I love Bad stuff -- bad movies, bad books, bad music -- and I'm also a bastard. Thus, it's funny to watch my wife shake her head hours later, cursi

Re:First of all, it's called "Afternoon Delight".

[ryanr]

I appear to be ignorant of this new country phenomenon you speak of. Blissfully ignorant.
