Seven dreadful songs that charted in Billboard’s Top 40 for this year. “Seasons in the Sun,” Terry Jacks; Grand Funk Railroad’s “The Loco-Motion”; “The Streak,” Ray Stevens; “Sunshine on My Shoulders,” John Denver; Paul Anka’s “(You’re) Having My Baby”; “Hooked on a Feeling,” Blue Swede; and the Carpenters’ “Top of the World.”
amazing that so many sickening songs came out in one year. I have blocked the date.
All in the Top 40! But the worst by far is "Seasons in the Sun," a song that made me wretch then and, on the rare occasions I hear it now, still does.
It's Blue Suede, not Swede, and all those songs are great except for "The Streak." The year ... 1974.
My goof on spelling of your favorite band. All the songs are great? Not to worry, it's cool that you don't really like music.
And you left out "Come and Get Your Love Now" by Redbone, "Band on the Run" by Wings, "Black Water" by the Doobie Bros, "Cat's in the Cradle" by Harry Chapin, "Kung Fu" by Carl Douglas ... Man, what a year. Even without Watergate and the energy crisis, it still would have been great ... Oh yeah, you're right about Blue Swede, not "Suede."
