March 28, 20179 yr It's hard for me to label anything from the seventies as annoying since I loved growing up in that decade so much. But the decade was loaded with novelty songs, cheesy tunes, and downright silly numbers. Still, I'll take any of it over the mush that we have now. What 70's songs did you find a bit annoying? What tops your list as the worst or most annoying song of that wonderful decade? An online CNN poll a few years back rated this song as the worst song of all-time: [video=youtube;-ZNtcCM3Cvo]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZNtcCM3Cvo
March 28, 20179 yr Author This one may top my list. It got way too much airtime. Familiarity certainly breeds contempt when it comes to this one. Cute girl , but I never want to hear this again. [video=youtube;b07-yKnKRMQ]
March 28, 20179 yr Author I love Helen Reddy but this song oftentimes is considered an annoying composition. I remember liking the song as a youngster but I can see where the 48 times she sings" Leave Me Alone" could get a little annoying.

March 28, 20179 yr Author Good old Ruby Red Dress! Betcha haven't thought of that one in decades.... Then again, you probably know the entire lyrics, who wrote it, and the entire history of the song, and probably played it just this past weekend.
March 28, 20179 yr Author Leif, you may have thought you was made for dancing, but this proves you were made for annoying the hell out of us:
March 28, 20179 yr Author "Let Her In"- John Travolta Yeah, John, let her in, hold her hostage, and brainwash her into believing your Scientology lunacy. He should be ashamed he ever did this.
March 28, 20179 yr Author "Feelings" - Morris Albert The only feelings you'll have about this is that you'll wish you had never heard it.
March 28, 20179 yr Author "Run Joey Run" - David Geddes Run Joey, run ... right into an F-5 tornado. [video=youtube;wT2LGv-s3xQ]
March 29, 20179 yr I love Helen Reddy but this song oftentimes is considered an annoying composition. I remember liking the song as a youngster but I can see where the 48 times she sings" Leave Me Alone" could get a little annoying. My first question was... "Did you really count"? ... and then of course I had to, to check for myself... and you know what?... I really think that you did. Technically "Leave Me Alone" is said 36 times with "Leave Me" being said twice at the end of each 6X run which equates to 12 "Leave Me's" added to the 36 "Leave Me Alone's" it does indeed equal 48, however the back up singers are responsible for 6 of those "Leave Me's" when technically "she" being Helen Reddy sang 36 "Leave Me Alone's" and 6 "Leave Me's", so you in fact did count which makes you a bonafide nut, but me even nuttier for having fact checked you. :lol2: :jump: :wacky:

I think I love you. Hey wait..... Oh... btw, I always count the twelve "Leave Me's " as well. Doesn't everyone include those ?
March 29, 20179 yr Music + math. I think I love you. Hey wait..... Oh... btw, I always count the twelve "Leave Me's " as well. Doesn't everyone include those ? When I was 8 in 1972 my very first album ever was The Partridge Family. Sure they'd count them, and it's remarkable that you did in the first place. I had to see if you were just throwing out a random number, but a numbers guy wouldn't do that, now would he?... exactitude is the name of the game. "Exactitude"... I love that word. :lol2:
