Whoever posted 'Ebony and Ivory'-- thank you so much. It brings back such horrid memories for me, what crap. I believe the hugeness of it on radio essentially killed future airplay for both McCartney and Wonder, though that may be incorrect. Let's just say it deserved to!
Oh, I have a few more songs that would be my personal Hell- 'you are the sun, you are the rain, blah blah, blah blah' by Lionel Richie. I'd never felt so disillusioned about pop music in my young life. Is radio insane? Is the American public that stupid?
My, how that song offended me!
Then, Richie had 'Dancing On The Ceiling' and I think that pretty much did him in, people started to get how truly awful his artistry had become.
To go way back to the 70's, 'once, twice, three times a lady' -- what the hell is that? Sounds like a diagnosis from a gynecologist, or a potential theme song for a weight loss clinic.
Nice melody and some good backup harmonies by The Commodores, but that chorus, were they 'scratch lyrics' he just decided not to finish?
