Not so classic Rock songs

Terry Jacks Seasons in the Sun. Good stuff.



I thought I pushed that song out of my brain in the seventies, absolute worst song ever.



I hated that song the first time I heard it! The 'Top 40' stations at the time, played it over and ove and over ad nauseum. Record companies swore, they were not paying stations to play certain songs incessantly... yeah, right!

'Battle of New Orleans' by Johnny Horton

So, we grabbed an alligator and we powdered his behind
and when we touched the powder-off, the gator lost his mind!

I love Horton's Greatest Hits album. A lot of good stuff on there. Comanche, North to Alaska. Just about every cut is good, (IMO):)

Here's a cartoon I made awhile back about songs I disliked. "Seasons in the Sun" and "Afternoon Delight" made the cut....

People old enough to remember 45s, LPs and 8 tracks may appreciate it.

BTW, I actually like the songs in the first panel. The idea was that things started out good and went bad...

Horton did, put-out some good stuff. The Battle of New Orleans, was funny when I was a kid and thought it was 'silly'. North To Alaska was so good, a movie was made based on the song. John Wayne, Stewart Granger and of all people... Fabian Forte!

There are a lot of bad covers out there:
Leonard Nimoy sings Proud Mary



Speaking of Nimoy. This has to be something he regrets doing.

Leonard Nimoy - Ballad of Bilbo Baggins

Don't forget William Shatner's version of "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds".

Has ended up making him millions. It's a big reason he got the Priceline.com gig. I doubt he regrets it.

I think this is the first of those commercials. If not, then very early in the series when they were still goofing off his singing styles.

Speaking of Aquarius - who did that song "....this is the dawning age of Aquaruis..." It was pretty good, but I was like 5 YO.

It was part of the musical "Hair" and made popular on the radio by The 5th Dimension.
