C'mon people - Starship's "We Built This City". Or wait, maybe that's in the $1000 category.

The Joker
Fly Like An Eagle
Take the Money and Run

Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 (sorry Bob)
Stand - REM
seconded on Takin' Care of Business
Almost anything by the Beach Boys
A large section of the Rolling Stones catalog

Hey, that's a good song. Of course, I'd never heard it until earlier this year, so I'm far from being sick of it.

I especially agree with the last three on this list. Whenever Crocodile Rock comes on the radio again (or, for that matter, Takin' Care of Business), I ask myself "Who out there, after all the times this song has been played, wants to hear this shit YET AGAIN?" And then I think that whoever that person is, they need to be shot.

Mike Schwartz · September-21st-2005, 09:45 PM

"Celebrate" at all weddings till death do us part.

bostontricky · September-21st-2005, 09:49 PM

We picked up a few of the first batch of The Muppet Show DVDs when they first came out, including the one with Elton John all dressed up singing his mid-70s material, including Crocodile Rock.

So my then-four-year old and I are standing in line at Dunkin's for a cookie (for her) and a large iced heroin and Crocodile Rock comes on the radio, and Anna says "Daddy! It's Elton John!" So the song has a sentimental place in my heart. But it still sucks, for the most part.

Add more zeroes.

Well, try playing "Money" everyday for the next 6 months ... then get back to us.

Steve Miller had a number of good albums before "Fly Like an Eagle". Especially the first two, "Children of the Future" & "Sailor", when Boz Scaggs was still in the group.

Steve Miller never did anything good in his life when it came to music, as far as my ears are concerned.

What a Wonderful World

Enforcer · September-21st-2005, 11:14 PM

Floyd's Money is a perfect choice. ZZ Top's Sharp Dressed Man has to be a contender, too.

Do I hear $1500?

Debbie Boone "You Light Up My Life"

moneyp · September-22nd-2005, 10:44 AM

Some trivia:

The "Love Shack" actually does exist. According to my wife, it's a real dive. Also, the Atlanta Highway is nowhere near Atlanta.

I like that song, by the way. "Tiiiiiin Roof..... Rusted!"
