Okay, it’s probably not accurate to call this performance by the George Baker Selection (what a horrible name for a band, right) of their 1975 hit “Una Paloma Blanca” LIVE, as it’s obvious they’re lip-syncing to the recording, but that was common for most TV performances of that era. Still, everyone here–audience included–look like they’re rather be somewhere else. The band seems bored, especially I’m sure after singing this awful…

This has to be one of the most loved–and hated–songs every recorded. People either think it’s a masterpiece or belongs in the garbage; there is no middle ground when it comes to “MacArthur Park” with its famous line that “someone left the cake out in the rain.” WHAT???  After hearing the 1978 Donna Summer version recently, I decided to listen to all three of the famous version again to see…

Why a LIVE performance of this horrible, horrible song from 1976 off The Captain and Tennille’s album Song of Joy? Because I found it and it only made listening to this song that much worse.

WATCH: “I’m Not Lisa” by Jessi Colter – LIVE – 1975

03/28/2018

Another song “we love to hate.” I can remember mocking this song ENDLESSLY with my friends in high school when this came out in 1975. We hated it then, and we still hate it today. But you, well you may love it. I doubt that, but anything is possible these days! Here’s a little background on the song from Wikipedia: “I’m Not Lisa” is a country song recorded and written…
