Now this is a personal opinion but I have to voice it.  I think the most annoying song of the 70's is "Loving You"... I can assume that is the name of the song.

It goes like this..

'Loving you, is easy cause your beautiful.
Everyday of my life is spent on loving you.
Loving you, I feel you soul come shining through
And everytime that we...oooh, I'm so in love with you.
La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la la, bippidipity doo....AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"  I am sure that there are some errors in the lyrics, but you got the idea.  I have no idea who performed this irritating little ditty.  But it was funny in that commercial on television where the guy was trying to get "Who Let The Dogs Out" for some sporting event but could not do so because he didn't use Mastercard...

:)  Tell me friends, is that song totally annoying or what? :)

Peace,
A'isha

That song was by the late Minnie Ripperton.  While it's not a favorite of mine, I didn't mind it up to the point where she does her high pitched squeal...

"Feelings" by Morris Albert.  The first time I heard it, I was on vacation in Chattanooga, TN, and I said, "What the hell is this crap?"  Today I still can't figure out how it became such a big hit!

I hate that song.  You see, when I was in highschool I went to Chior competition and one guy competing decided to sing that dreadful song.  He kept singing 'Fillins' nothing more than fillins' fillins' of love...'  I swear my teeth hurt with the thought of dentistry and getting my teeth drilled.  So now everytime I hear "Feelings" I still here that boy singing "Fillins'"

There were soooo many songs of the 70s that I loved to hate!  :D

Probably the two worst:

A song that came out in 1976 called "Hot Line" -- the lyrics were "calling on the hot line, hot line, for your love, for your love" Over and over and over. It was on our high school cafeteria jukebox.

This song was brought up a couple of times on the old '80s board. You're thinking of "Eugene" by Crazy Joe and the Variable Speed Band, which was a minor hit here in the U.S. in the Winter of '81 (not '70s). Believe it or not, it was co-written and co-produced by Ace Frehley (yes, that Ace Frehley!)...

"You Are So Beautiful" by Joe Cocker (this song makes me want to scream when I hear it!!!!!  >:(

Two songs from round about the same time always make me cringe.......

There are so many, honourable mentions should go to :

"Lady In Red" by Chris De Burgh (Syrup overflowing)

Whoa - you apparently don't know the earlier version, which is 10x worse!  I don't think I ever knew the "artist", but it's a guy whining the whole song, almost Tom-Jones-ish but can hardly sing and sounds like he's going to cry!

    That was Richard Harris, who recorded it in the late 60's. It somehow got to be a hit song, but I can't for the life of me understand how.
    The entire song sounded like easy listening, except for this rocky instrumental part that was placed there out of nowhere with "train-wreck" results. It sounded sort of like the music they play on "Price is Right" when they have "a new car!"
    There was an "SCTV" segment of "Mel's Rock Pile" that had Richard Harris, played by Dave Thomas, as a "guest" singing that sing. Mel walked up on stage to interview Richard while the instrumental part was going on.
    For those of you thought like I did that maybe when they made a 45 of it, it was an edited version, let me assure you that I got one at a flea market once and yes, they were able to fit the entire 7 minutes and change onto 1 side of the 45.
    Yes, it did sound pretty dreadful. Richard Harris was a movie actor, which continues to prove that movie actors shouldn't record songs.
