I am from Indianapolis IN.
In 1976 our local radio station WIBC, played this song called Muskrat love

I was riding in the car with my mom a whopping 9 yrs old

The song was average momseemed to like it, then toward the end of the song synthesizer kicked in and my started trying to adjust the radio dial.

I told my that was actually the song, hit the radio preset button and the song came in clear again

A minute later the DJ broke in laughing hysterically because the stations radio engineers were running around the studio looking for malfunction that did not exist

Yes, the radio engineers were chasing the fault down that was actually a synth in the song


Never thought I would have a reason to tell this story

But here it is

How about "nothing means more to me than hearing you say, will marry me, uncle ray" jeeze i want to throw up just typing it. A child of nine isn't thinking about marriage, much less is she able to consent. So who put that garbage in her head? 3 guesses.

The whole song is about his denial of her very young age, and a pretty weak denial of his clearly admitted questionable urges. "I don't know how you get to me in a way I can't describe" (not legally anyway lol) - is that really language that's appropriate for a small child? Don't further humiliate yourself, say "no."

If he were innocent why would her age be an issue, and the entire crux of the song? In fact, that was the "boom" of the song itself - you're supposed to think he's talking about his grown adult girlfriend, quite unabashedly romantically, but the twist at the end of the song is that she is barely out of toddler-hood. Did you even listen to it?

He literally says that the "babysitting" is a sham, a performance, an "effort" to disguise his intentions. But he's left so "breathless" in her presence that he barely has control of himself.

How can anyone let a catchy tune blot out actual words? Words have meaning, even if one is a very poor reader; the weight of the failure is on the reader's part, not on the part of the verbiage. If words have no meaning to you, why are you here talking about them?

And also, remind me not to let you anywhere near my kids.

Most of those songs are still better than the crap that's on today.

@commanderstraker1082

Nothing- NOTHING!- is as revolting as "You Light Up My Life".

@alanheath7867

COULDN’T AGREE MORE!!!

@Anonymous-js5zn

For me, You're Having My Baby is the worst song ever made.

@starladodge

I agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@agoogleuser4443

That's not the point. He's comparing them to the hundreds of the awesome songs that came out in the 70's, not what came out later. And yes, I was around in the 70's and know all these songs (born in early 60's).

These songs weren't hated in the '70s, they are hated today by people who were raised in the 2000s.

@korridalton278

Excellent point!!!

@briw5512

Amen!

Speak for yourself, heathen (a suitable name for that opinion). It was bad enough that all the great underground radio was vanishing (they constantly flirted with FCC condemnation; and would play albums and long songs without commercials), but the Top 40 stations would not only play hits 3 times an hour, they'd play the most insipid songs that often, too. A novelty song might be funny the first 75 times on day one, but that couldn't sustain a song that was just musically bad. '70s songs were so formulaic and saccharine, I turned my radio off for most of 10 years. Groups that were the bastion of great cutting edge music in the '60s, like Steve Miller, Chicago Transit Authority, Jefferson Airplane, Elvin Bishop and a metric shitload of others, either started putting out vacuous ballads/love songs, or disappeared. Radio was so bad I had to pick up my harmonicas again, and that's some serious desperation because I can't play worth a shit.
