Super Hits of The 70s: Have A Nice Day, Vol. 20

Either I have a trace memory of "Ariel" from I know not when or where (it didn't trouble the UK charts) or the hook sounds very much like some other song.

The rhumba rhythm reminds me of "Third Rate Romance" by The Amazing Rhythm Aces. Or "Margaritaville." And yeah "Sherry."

i just looked up the lyrics to 'the last game of the season' and yikes

HAND #21 is much better than this one.

who the fuck voted for Disco Duck

I WANT NAMES

kinda regretting not voting for "ariel" since SFADF didn't really need the help. friedman's delivery is dorky and occasionally feels forced-quirky and a lot of the lyrics are dumb but the chorus mostly nails genuine homemade low-budget love song. if it'd come out on an indie label in 1999 it'd be part of the dork prom canon.

This is definitely the worst volume, it's uphill from here on out. Think this is relevant to the thread:

For all its success, "Disco Duck" was shunned by radio stations where Dees was living in Memphis, including WMPS-AM, the station Dees worked for at the time. Station management forbade Dees from playing the song on his own show and rival stations in the city refused to play it for fear of promoting the competition. When Dees talked about (but did not play) the song on his show one morning, his boss fired him citing conflict of interest. After a brief mandatory hiatus, Dees was hired by station WHBQ-AM, WMPS's primary competition in Memphis.
