The One Hit Wonder You're Ashamed To Admit You Liked

[outofyourmind]

Actually, he was a two hit wonder with "Clair". And i'm kinda ashamed that I know that. :rollseyes:

Again, I thought I was the only one who knew that.
You guys are creeping me out now.

 

[outofyourmind]

This was no hit, but I remember this one too.

Alright so, I'm the part of the demented America that thought it was. Just glad to know that I wasn't the only one.

"Turning Japanese" was believed to euphemistically refer to masturbation—i.e. the act causing the man to squint and therefore resemble a Japanese's person's eyes[2]—but the song's author Fenton denied that claim in an interview on VH1. "It could have been (turning) Portuguese, Lebanese, anything that fitted with that phrase. It has nothing to do with the Japanese." "The first time the idea of masturbation came up was when we were touring America. It was written about that 'turning Japanese' was an English phrase for masturbation, which it wasn't."
Guitarist Rob Kemp went on to say, "It's a love song about somebody who had lost their girlfriend and was going slowly crazy, turning Japanese is just all the cliches of our angst... turning into something you never expected to."

Some might not remember this song from The New Vaudeville Band but it's quite catchy... My kids laugh at me when I play it...

 

[KansasSooner]

I remember it, trying to forget it...

Hey, I am ashamed ok?

They should be ashamed of the haircuts.

They should be ashamed of the haircuts.

We all had hair similar to that back then, mine was a little longer but this was kind of the early stages of the mullet...

That song ate my mind for awhile. (Won't count that one as being "ashamed" to like)

This one.. well, maybe. I dunno. maybe. No way you can misinterpret what it's about. I do like to listen to it loud! (And try not to sing along)

Another song that veritably screams "'70s".

 

[BlueBlazedMarvel]

Sounds of the Seventies, Baby!

Love this song. Everytime I hear it now though I think of the Jeep commercial where the animals jump in and the wolf swallows the bird.
