Pina Colada song

[txteach]

Anyone remember this song? Man I loved it as a kid.

[Mikey]

Oh yea........

I can't imagine anyone that went through the 70's that didn't like it.

Now it's gunna be stuck in my head for the next 3 days ...
THANKS A LOT !!!

[Dave Mc]

Rupert Holmes! I heard that song while flipping around the dial the other day.

[toys2cool]

I wasn't around in the 70's and I love that song every time I hear it now it reminds of Shrek though

Pick #3 my lord!! # 2 pick #2

[huedell]

Its gotta be one of the top pop songs ever recorded.

Gold.

[HardyGirl]

I still play the 45!

Anyone else have XM Radio? They have channels dedicated to every decade... you can hear stuff you have completely forgotten about... I listen all the time to the 70's and 80's channels.

I guess I'm the only one so far that hates the song... "Afternoon Delight" sucks too btw.

[Mego Milk]

How about "Summer Breeze"? Makes me feel fine.

I'm a sucker for alot of those "lite rock" songs from the 1970s, like the "Pina Colada Song". Much like Megos or classic tv commercials, those songs remind me of my childhood and I still like hearing them. I listen to the XM and AOL Radio stations alot while online and usually I'm either listening to '80s New Wave stuff or the 1970s classic rock or soft rock. Some metalhead I am

[Meule]

I have no idea what you guys are talking about

Guess it all depends on how you're "programmed"

I'm not into the REAL heavy bands like you are nvmb----but people are still
surprised that I like the real easy listening and poppy stuff --that is---
IF they've already heard my own bands' music---otherwise, I guess its pretty
believable I'd like lite-rock (Air Supply anyone?) cause I'm kinda "cheesey"
at first glance/meeting anyways

If I remember right nvmb--and with all respect--you have more of a
tough-guy look---so I can see where it'd be harder for people to believe
you like that kinda stuff at first glance

Anyways, I don't believe in the "guilty" part of the term "guilty pleasure"

If a certain thing makes ya happy for the reasons you listed---then its good
enough, eh? Kinda like Mego and alotta the other stuff we talk around here.

I kinda took the conversation and ran into a different direction with it---

as nvmb wasn't saying he felt weird about Pina Colada persay---

just thought I'd talk about the "guilty pleasure" aspect of this genre to
spark more conversation on a very closely related topic

Granted, for a huge sect of people lite-rock (70s, etc.) just makes them
vomit---but I thought I'd give a shout out positively anyways!

P.S. nvmb---I love 80s NEW WAVE too!

I had a neighbor who was the cousin to one of the singers in the Starland Vocal Band. Of course when I heard the song when I was young, I had no idea what the song was about but I always enjoyed the song.

I hadn't heard the song in years and one of my co-workers has an iPod that he occassionally listens to in a speaker docking station on low volume. Every Friday, as a joke, he would play "Afternoon Delight" and start singing along loud to the lyrics trying to get everyone to chime in to the last vocal of the song.
