Is that you wearing the white t-shirt and necklace at the 16 second mark at the beginning?

I wish.
I love the groove going on here.
As I work the weekend graveyard (and I’m the solo coordinator) The Brothers Osborne were my weekend concert, played very loud. I highly recommend!!!

I need your help. Ten days ago I had an eleven hour drive. Since we haven’t set up blue ray in the car we ended up listening to Sirius for a number of hours and I heard one of the worst songs ever too many times. Even after ten days it keeps playing in my head. How can I get rid of it.

Im currious why you hate it. I actuall like it, but I think I remember TR saying he hated it too. I believe he used this as an example of how he realized the “formula” for writting songs and basicslly quit music because he couldn’t stand it. I cant source that sentiment at this time but, might be true.
I know Steely Dan (Fagen) allways hated Rickie Don’t Loose That Number, but I allways love that too ;')
Mostly because his voice sounds whiney. It’s also too slow and popish.

LOL!!! Play this one, it will get that one off your mind. It’s a better Rundgren tune, and has some passable slide guitar.
(BTW - most people don’t know that he played all the instruments and did all the vocals on most of his later recordings.)
Honestly, I never really hated “Hello It’s Me”, I was young; it wasn’t a great tune, just OK, and I mostly tuned away to another station when It came on the radio. My lasting impression of the song was that I felt sorry for the woman who recorded it. That impression came from something I saw for a few seconds in passing on a television show. You can probably imagine my mistake. Decades later, I figured it out, and still laugh about it.

As a seasoned veteran of office earworm wars, this gem should knock Todd Rundgren out of your head:
If that doesn’t work, try the Brady Bunch theme song, Gilligan’s Island, Green Acres or Beverly Hillbillies. Some may consider it a form of brutality, but those songs won me many free lunches.

Ugh they made us listen to that every day in first grade and do a little routine that went along with it.

That has to be one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard! I couldn’t make it past the 0:30 second mark !! I’ll have to agree with you on all of the tv theme songs except Green Acres ! That signaled me to the absurdity that was about to happen, and I mean that in a good way !

LOL!! I recognized the title, instantly heard part of the chorus in my head, and quickly/carefully backed away from a mouse click.
I do not recall the context from my very young life (probably 1961) when I heard that horrible song (repeatedly) in some school, church, or possibly family situation. I have an exceptional memory, so that fact that I do not recall it, points to some sort of self therapy used to remove the memory.

Yep. That was a grade school exercise song, a pivotal realization at age 7 that adults weren’t necessarily worthy of respect, or sources of wisdom, grace and dignity.
Pretty sure that song was against the Geneva Convention.

It’s that time of year again: Anyone in driving distance of RES interested in such activity, there’s an actual show on Jul 12 evening. Different groups, however.

The first song I learned on the drums in my first band, The Renegades, was Walk Don’t Run. The second was either Pipeline or probably Wipe Out.
Still love all of those songs.

The jazz references in the “pet peeves” thread got me thinking about some old favs from Quincy Jones…easy listening for a July 4th afternoon.
