This, an eight minute dirge!
With the last four minutes spent just repeating ‘Hey Jude.’

So obvious that nearly all contributors to this thread were children of the 80's !
In response to the Robert Palmer ditty mentioned above:
Might as well face it, you're a dick with a glove.
Anything by Trini Lopez. I hate them. He has to do this "one more time" thing at the end of every song. i just sit there waiting for it if I can't turn the thing off, drives me crazy!
Jump around- House of Pain, repetitive gold medal winner, never a more apt band name..
Almost anything post -2000 :old:
And a fair bit of the 90s.
Disco
(c)Rap.
Most C&W.
Boy band shite.
Most Elvis :hide:
American Pie
Brown eyed girl.
Another Day for you and me in Paradise.
Halleluja / hallelujah
However it's spelt - it's a firge.
I remember “If I Had a Hammer” by Trini Lopez was one of the records from a painfully small collection owned and blasted out on a regular basis by Radio Ninian in the mid 1960s. I think the bloke introducing the records and making the announcements was Glyn Potter, perhaps someone of a similar vintage to me might confirm this.
With you on Elvis. I can sometime be swayed by the people i know that love Elvis. Usually white, thick as shit, a bit racist, and boring pissheads to boot. Maybe i'm missing something and i need a good history lesson on certain genres of music, but Elvis songs seem to bring out the emotive expression of those who can't seem to express themselves when sober, and they seem to get it tragically wrong. I'm here to be educated though :thumbup:
Yeah, i'm not into Nile Rodgers, although the influence he had, espexially on dance music is massive. Suppose it could be said of Elvis as well, although i reckon that he pinched his act from those who would never have got a look in during that period. Tom Jones, now there's a grade A Bastard.
Elvis had a massive, massive influence on R&R and blues singers/musicians.
Some of the people who don't like him are usually those who were around and "active" when he was and they were into something else.
Its a bit like Nile Rodgers, who I don't happen to like [or do I?], having a big influence on R&B and other types of music since the 70's.
Wasn't particularly into that disco stuff at the time, though I do appreciate it has it's place in the grand scheme of things.
Yeah, fair shout. I don't like Elvis songs and i'm not really that keen on the people that i know who adore him. I wasn't about when he was doing his thing (i was very young) although i have to concede when it comes to influence, although i'm pretty sure that the people who influenced Elvis probably didn't get much of a look in.

That ‘Working Man’ song by David Alexander, reminds me of Sunday afternoons over The Shed, old pissheads who’d never done a tap since they were a milk monitor singing their heads off to it:hehe:
Oh okay thanks for clearing that up. I did think it a bit odd that you would say my opinion was wrong, there are couple on here who might have though.
Regarding the fact that you disagree with my saying that La Freek (I think that's what its called) is repetitive, I am of the opinion that it is fact you who are wrong.
Some decent string arrangements in the song but the same riff in every verse and chorus of the song and no key change, that's what I'm referring to when I say repetitive.
Zzzzz
