Time to get out and VOTE!
Posted on: 01/25/2010 08:11 PM

Ok, friends, it's time to make your voices heard against this travesty of epic proportions! Of course I'm speaking of The Huffington Post's current poll of "Stupidest Pop Lyrics Of All Time" in which "Horse With No Name" currently ranks #28.

I say we knock this out of the rankings by voting "I've heard worse" in droves. Are you with me?!?!?

:-)

Don't shoot the webmaster... he's doing the best he can...

Hi Everyone :)

I just voted Rich! How Dare they do this to our HWNN. I've loved this song since the first time I heard it on my transistor radio. I went out and bought the 45 and listened to it over and over, and then I bought the America Album and I have appreciated following America's Highway.
Yes Chaz I remember that song My Ding Aling song. LOL, now it deserves to be listed on this Stupidest Pop Lyrics of all Time!
Have a good day all! Nancyh

Maybe they would have appreciated the song if the horse had had a name...like, Mr. Ed! Thanks for the link, Rich! >^..^< *Pause Here & Enjoy the Music!*

MyUserNameIsKevin Member Posts: 433	Re: Time to get out and VOTE! Posted on: 02/01/2010 12:49 PM Seems like no matter how many times you vote, Horse is "stuck" in 28th position. I have a feeling this is like an Afghanistan election. The results have already been determined. Very peculiar how no song has changed position yet.

DaveB2 Member Posts: 120	Re: Time to get out and VOTE! Posted on: 02/02/2010 01:50 PM Yes Cat, I am with you. I'd like to compare the quality of America's first two albums and Here and Now and see what other group can sound so good 38 years from their first albums. Along with Holiday and Alibi, Here and Now are my favorites along with the first two.

Dave,
I'm happy to read that Alibi's one of your favorites... I totally agree with you. IMO is one of the most underrated America's album... Though in US reached only #142, in Italy (where I live) topped the charts for almost 2 years and had a huge success throughout Europe. My band uses to cover some America's songs during live shows and even nowadays, after some 30 years, people get crazy when they hear Survival's intro.
Great music is timeless...

MyUserNameIsKevin Member Posts: 433	Re: Time to get out and VOTE! Posted on: 02/03/2010 09:58 AM Alibi is one of my all-time favorites. Including the album cover, which reveals a wonderfully twisted sense of humor. Every cut is wonderful. And Hangover is one of the all time most under-rated songs ever. In fact, I think I am going to go play that album right now.

Freddy and Kevin,

Survival, Might be your love, Hangover and I do believe in you to me all could have been awesome - the whole album is great. I have a new friend of about three years who loves Springsteen and his America collection up to about three years ago consisted of the first album and History. I let him borrow Alibi and he was like "dude, this is better than the greatest hits - it's an amazing cd". He now owns Alibi, Homecoming and Here and Now. My cd now and I have cleaned it a lot of times gets stuck on I don't believe in miracles but I can't find the cd anywhere online. I have found a combo of silent letter and alibi - so I may have to buy the combo - but I have every cd and a lot of the compilations too. So I guess what's one more.
But Amazon only has vinyl. By the way of course I like all the albums but my second "hidden treasure" althought when it came out it hit #11 was Hideaway. Wrong singles on the CD too. Today's the day yeah and Amber was good but don't let it get you down and jet boy blue would have been much better selections and more reaching to the then FM and AM crowds. Dave

NancyH,

Indeed! How dare they? Humph!

I voted and it was at 28 too. I don't know what that's all about.

How about that song, "Say what you need to say". How many times does it have to be said in one song? I'll take America music any day.

My Best,

O

Yesterday's ratings are exactly the same as today's.
We've been had.

"The Horse With No Name"...you'd think they would get the song title right before they lampooned it.

Maybe I should forward this youtube delight onto The Huffington Post. "The heat was hot" will sound like pure poetry after they listen to this :)

"Mashed Potato" - Billy Thorpe And The Aztecs

And to think this was a hit Down-Under in 1964.
Even worse, I actually bought it :(
