Worst Song Ever???

[markydefad]

I'm listening to The Softones "Very Best Of" CD...

after "That Old Black Magic"(the SHORT VERSION!!!)...

There's a song called ""Laundromat"!!!!!

"You can make love to me in a laundromat
While everyone one else is out doin' the town
You can make love to me in a laundromat
With nobody but the dryers goin' round"

DUH!!!!!! :roll: :oops: :roll: :oops: :roll: :oops: :roll: :oops:

Sadly it sounds vaguely reminiscent of Blue Magic's "Three Ring Circus"--BUT THOSE LYRICS!!!!!

From the HACK HIT FACTORY of Hugo & Luigi---the folks what killed The Stylistics' career with sub-par material after they split from the wonderful Thom Bell. :evil:

HI MARKYsounds dire :o is 'thats what love can@ do on that album? i have it on 7 its nice and has been getting plays in england the last couple of years.

the girl just makes strange noises with her mouth no words to the song she just goes de de de de de,de de de de really fast and in between duh dud dud dud dud eehhaayyyooow nnneeeaaaw eeeeehhhhhyoooooooooooow over and over and a bit like a cat on heat,the slow side is even worse SMOKE RINGS more odd noises as if she IS blowing smoke rings and having a fit at the same time there was some jokes at the time refering to a sexual act :-?
ian levine once played papaya in a club and NEVER lived it down :lol: this was thought to be american but i suspect this originated in germany

PRAY FOR ROSEMARYS BABY-?????-JEN-JULLUS[NEW YORK 75]
i once owned this to but i cant find it or remember who its by,who wrote this god knows it must have gone like this
"hey ive got this great song! its about this baby thats been thrown down a wate disposal shute! the singers gonna franticly without breathing for 3 minutes discribe the babys journey and every item of food the baby was mangled up in, then hes gonna chant we gotta prayyy we gotta prayyyy we gotta pray for rosemarys baby!"at this point the producer must have shouted across the studio"yeh and we can add the baby screaming and crying! ITS GONNNA BE A SMASH!" :o

It may not be the worst, but it's close. Dionne Warwick singing Sly Stone's "Everyday People" on her newly reissued Soulful CD with 13 bonus tracks on Rhino. I'm sorry, but Dionne and the girls singing, "Boom shaka-laka-laka, boom shaka-laka-laka" is just sad... laughable... obscene. Choose one. They all fit.

This is the second time I've heard her doing something way out of place. Check out her beautiful Make Way for Dionne Warwick album on Scepter from BITD. This lp is full of Bacharach/David classics: A HOUSE IS NOT A HOME, PEOPLE, THEY LONG TO BE CLOSE TO YOU, REACH OUT FOR ME, YOU'LL NEVER GET TO HEAVEN, WALK ON BY... it goes on and on. And just when you're more than in the mood comes the 5th cut on side b: "Get Rid of Him". What you want to do is get rid of her because if you had an erection you lost it. A horrible piece of 60's pop/dance that should never have come near a piece of vinyl.

Ahhh,

THE SOFTONES, cool. I thought nobody remember this guys anymore. They sound like a poor man's STYLISTICS. And you're right about HUGO & LUIGI destroying THE STYLISTICS, MARKY. After breaking up with THOM BELL, THE STYLISTICS began to sound like... THE SOFTONES! :lol:

DISCODISK: I remember having this record in Mallorca. It was on Arista (:oops: didn't fully read original, eh) records if memory serves correct. I think I may have played it a few times, but interestingly the guy I worked for (who was only a couple of years older than me and DJ'd the first few weeks of each season until my presence was warranted) really loved it. He'd hang around the decks and pull the record up as if to say play me, PLAY ME! I never did. Wasn't she of Polish extraction with a name like that, but out of New York and something of a Jazz name? The record was sort of samba like wasn't it? Maybe she was Brazilian?

I even think the label was confused on which songs to release... the 7" single

STAR ON A TV SHOW b/w HEY GIRL, COME & GET IT

should've been the other way around. :roll:

what a difference a producer makes, huh?

Zeca, check out Candy by Softones and First Class. It's brilliant.

Ursula Dudziak was married to Michael Urbaniek, well known jazz violin player from East Europe. (Slovakia, I think!)
They made records in their own country before both releasing albums for Arista in the mid 70s.
I forget the name of the artist, but there was a big hit in mainland Europe in 1984 (I heard it in a Spanish Disco) called "Dolce Vita". This was a dodgy tune, very corny. (naturally I bought it, to remind me of my wonderful summer holiday, never played it since) LOL :lol: :lol: :lol:

[K-Bee]

Dolche Vita was by Ryan Paris and I guess it's a song you either love or hate. I do have some fond memories about it though, since it was a monster hit over here.
