Major cheese. There's not actually much of a tune in here...


You're obviously not a golfer.

I'm a Capricorn, but most women say I'm a Cancer.

I'd say it's appeal to me is only about 10% ironic. It's a good tune. Love Mr. Conrads' invocation, "*gettin' it on".

You know what? It's good music. And you know what else? Even though the dancing might be considered cheesy by today's standards, so what. They were obviously having fun, and that's all that matters. They weren't hurting anyone or trying to make some lame-ass statement; they were simply enjoying the moment. Gotta respect that.

Rise, my brother.

Thank you, Master. Excellent choice for the rebirth of the Sift.

Nope. I'm glad it's buried again. My top two were both too lowbrow for my taste. Instead I'll pimp my current #1, which is the anthem for the dawning of the New Sift!

-LOTS of traditional Irish music records. My dad's parents were both from Ireland. The Irish Rovers were one of his favorites.
-Dean Martin

In reply to this comment by schmawy:
Ditto! Just replace Styx with Jethro Tull and Kansas with Motorhead, Maiden, and Priest. Prior to that it was my parent's records, Fats Domino, Beachboys, and Johnny Cash.

In reply to this comment by kronosposeidon:
Did you ever have an extension cord for those big puffy cans? I had a 25-foot extension cord for my phones, so that I could wander all over my bedroom while I rocked out on "Glass Houses", my very first vinyl record. Followed by:

2. Styx - Paradise Theatre
3. AC/DC - Back In Black
4. Styx - Grand Illusion
5. Rush - Moving Pictures
6. Pink Floyd - The Wall
7. Van Halen - I
8. Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
9. Pink Floyd - Meddle
10. Kansas - Leftoverture
11. Pink Floyd -Wish You Were Here
12. Rush - Permanent Waves

And the rest are kind of blur after that, but those were my first 12 disciples. I'll always remember.

You may be right, I may be crazy.

In reply to this comment by schmawy:
Nor did I fall asleep every night wearing big puffy headphones with the curly cord listening to an 8-track copy of Songs From the Attic that I bought at Bradlees with my lawn-mowing money. If you ever hear this rumor it is a complete fabrication.

I'm going Dolores too. My older brother came home with that album. It's a darn good album too. I listened to it quite a bit.
In reply to this comment by kronosposeidon:
^You mean this album cover? Yeah, that was pretty hot alright. However I'm still partial to Dolor
es Erickson. My parents had that album, and I was fond of staring at that sleeve a LOT.

In reply to this comment by snoozedoctor:
The best Bond song. Maybe because; music by Marvin Hamlisch, (cheesy looking guy but quite talented), with lyrics by Carole Bayer Sager.
Who remembers that Carly album cover from "Playing Possum" with her on her knees in that teddy? Without a doubt the hottest album cover of the early 70s. My prior favorite, the whipped cream girl, Dolores Erickson, on the Tijuana Brass LP.

Oh man, I want the soundtrack. It's like Belle and Sebastion meets Herb Alpert.
