I'm sorry, but the couplet [b]'I want to be, just as close as, The Holy Ghost...s' is [/b]just so arse-clenchingly poor that it disqualifies it. One of the worst lyrics of all time. If it has to be that sorta By Jovi thing, then Blaze Of Glory's virtually the same thing, with a little less clenching... :D

But that is what makes it cheesy. If the lyric was up there with Keats or Browning it wouldnt be teeth grating would it?

We played a wedding last year where Chesney Hawkes was a guest. 'I am the one and only' drove me nuts at the time but having to learn it and write it out for the rest of the band meant I found a lot of respect for it- it's got more key changes than Yale RnD. He was super slick and professional as well, very polite and sang great.

Written of course by the criminally underrated Nicholas Kershaw Esq.

For me, I think it has to be 'Yes sir, I can boogie' by Baccara. I was 8 at the time - that's my excuse, anyway
Or there's 'Uptown top ranking' by Althia and Donna - not just cheesy, but the whole damned cheese board...

Perhaps we should compile the top ten 'cheesy listening' songs.

There's nobody to me more cheesy than Barry Manilow, but I think the arrangement of Could It Be Magic is perfection.

I absolutely adore Copacabana.

My wife and I quite like REO Speedwagon's I Can't Fight This Feeling.... surely I have won (or lost?) this thread?!

'It's time to bring this ship into the shore / And throw away the oars...' What a lyric.

Nik Kershaw is an absolute genius composer. The album Radio Musicola is wall to wall quality.

Saw you'd posted here Bilbo and was hoping you were going to admit to loving Moondance! :lol:
