There was a really  cheesy song that was a big hit in 1972, "Sylvia's Mother" by Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show. It was written by the late Shel Silverstein who seems to have made an entire career out of writing these cheesy novelty type songs. In "Sylvia's Mother" the singer/narrator literally SOBS out the lyrics because he is placing a call from a phone booth to his girlfriend and the girlfriend's mother, who even has a NAME ("Mrs. Avery") won't let him talk to her. He sobs and begs. It's SO cheesy. A few years later the same band would go on too have an even bigger hit with ANOTHER novelty song "The Cover of Rolling Stone", written by...you guessed it, Shel Silverstein.  ::)

First of all, why did you put your list in the spoiler? FYI, when you have TOO much in the spoiler, it really makes it hard to read.

Ok that being said, you left out two of the cheesiest songs EVER!

-Feelings-Morris Albert
-Run Joey Run-David Geddes

You know that part in the middle of Muskrat Love where they make those weird electronic noises that are supposed to sound like two muskrats copulating or something? Well, this one time I was hanging out with my brother and I farted and it sounded just like that, and I turned to him and just said, "Muskrat Love."  ;D

Speaking of Muskrat Love, when I do the dishes, I usually chose one of my CDs to listen to as I am working. It makes the work easier-especially when I am singing & dancing as I am washing the dishes.  :D ;D ;D ;D

This morning's CD was America's Greatest Hits. I was really enjoying Horse With No Name, Tinman, Ventura Highway, and several other songs on the CD. But then I realized that Muskrat Love was on it. NOOOOOOOOO! I did think of this thread when I heard it. I only heard about 2 bars of music before I turned to the next song. Who knew that America did that song?

I remember there was an ep of Full House. One of Jessie's old girlfriends was in town and called him and sang it on the message she left. I think it was Becky who asked, "Your song was Muskrat Love?"

Interesting video. From approximately 1'08" onwards it features Dutch comedian André van Duin (definitely not one of the Trashmen!).
André van Duin shot to fame in 1964 with a parody of songs and sketches, including "Surfer Bird" for a finale. Full video can be seen here.
