Here is another cheesy song for you, Mister Hectic: Should I Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Old Oak Tree? (The Answer) by Connie Francis. The uncredited background singers are Darlene Love & the Blossoms. This stalled at #104 on Billboard's June 30 1973 Bubbling Under chart.

I confused that with the other dozen shitty songs you liked, like Reunited, Kiss You All over, and The Streak.

One man's shitty songs are another man's treasures. One thing seeing everybody's lists is that we all have different likes and dislikes. Some people actually liked the nameless horse for example.
