The Captain and Tenille...
So there I was driving along and the song "Muskrat Love" is playing on the radio.....
WTF you say? No, for real ....
Then I started to think back to my first albums which inlcuded (you can laugh out loud): Sonnny and Cher, Free To Be you and Me, Captain and Tenille and others
Just curious out there what is the most embarrasing album/CD/tape you ever bought.....

My first ever record was a single, Disco Duck. It's a wonder I didn't turn out gay. 'cuse me while I flush that ugly memory with Primal Concrete Sledge (Pantera).
Thanks Smut. Until your brought it up, I forgotten that I had the Disco Duck album. Is being 6 years old a decent excuse?
Someone bought me Michael Jackson's The Wall for Christmas. I was also a wee one then too. Not my fault.

Girl power or what? The Bobbettes also recorded for Atlantic, Diamond, End, Galliant, Gone, Jubilee, King and Quit. The first female group to have both a Top Ten hit and a number one R&B record. They started singing in 1955 calling themselves the Harlem Queens, by the time they signed to Atlantic in 1957 they had become The Bobbettes, which their manager thought a more fitting name for the young girls, some of whom were not yet in their teens. The first Atlantic release was Mr. Lee, who was actually a school teacher of some of the Bobbettes, their first four recordings were all group compositions (they wrote ten of their first eighteen recorded songs). The original lyrics were not so favorable towards the said 'Mr. Lee', in fact they loathed him, but Atlantic's A&R executives had them alter them. While at Atlantic they also did some background vocals for Clyde McPhatter and Ivory Joe Hunter. Just before they left Atlantic and signed with Triple X, they recorded I Shot Mr. Lee but Atlantic shelved it. Their first release for Triple X was a recording of I Shot Mr. Lee, this time letting their true feelings for the teacher known, the record went to the top of the charts forcing Atlantic to release the original version. In 1964, the group recorded Love That Bomb for the motion picture Dr. Strangelove.
I loved "Free to Beyou and Me" - true dorkdom! I also jammed to the Star Wars soundtrack, but don't ask me how.
I am laughing my A** off! Disco Duck and Baby G's albums. I also forog that I had Leif Garrett and Shaun Cassidy.....
any spyro gyra cds i own - it's such cheesy lite jazz.
I had a pair of bell bottoms w/ Shaun Cassidy on them. His face was on the bell bottom part. I think I was 5. It was my mother dressing me. Really. :-)
Shaun Cassidy bellbottoms?!?!?!? That is hysterical....
I just had a small shrine to him in my bedroom...
Eddie Murphy cut an album?!?!?! I must have been devoting all my time to my Shaun Cassidy shrine and missed that....
EddieM is actually damned talented. The material (songs) he did were just crap.
Nah, I did like Steve Martin's album (Let's Get Small) with hits like King Tut. Now that made me laugh. BTW -you can e-mail me at nobonks@yahoo.com
I won a Shaun Cassid LP on the radio (WGRD) I loved that station
Oh my God that was like 30 years ago ...lol
but skiping school to go see (Joan Jet and the Black Hearts) was the best
I missed Joan Jett, but I did get to see Pat Benatar, Linda Ronstandt and the Bee Gee's.....Oy! I need a beer now...lol
