Post often • share • make some friends
@flexghost I dunno man. I just thought I’d find a dumb Waffle House song to share and I’m completely fucking baffled. And stone sober. I swear.

Laura never lets us down.
@flexghost Not sure if Squeeze Box by The Who is more or less cheesy when Sheryl Crow covers it.
@flexghost gotta go with Gang of Four “Cheeseburger”.

Or Nirvana’s “Big Cheese”.

Fizzy water with ice and lemon.
@richardinsandy @flexghost If we're playing this literally, you can't miss with Ween's "Where'd The Cheese Go" from the (obviously rejected) Pizza Hut commercial.
@flexghost How about some Disco? 🪩 I love this song. 🧀
I happen to love this version AND this cheesy song (but the internet doesn’t) 😛
Muskrat Love - America
@flexghost I know that I will not get any points for this, but here's one. And have a great weekend. At least try to have one, despite all the turmoil going on. And of course: Seeding love, and support to Iran... Or rather, all Persians living through this intense violence brought on by the class idiot in the Oval Office...
But here is a classic:

Is this the rerelease master version of Toto covering Weezer covering Toto covering Weezer covering Toto?
Banger track.
@flexghost From the "embarrassed to admit you love" angle, the terrible and perfect You Spin Me Round by Dead or Alive. Pouring the first G&T.

Some of the worst songs ever to come out of Aotea New Zealand
https://www.nzonscreen.com/title/life-begins-at-40-1983/overview
Life Begins at 40 - A tongue in cheek paean to the joys of middle age, this jaunty, amiable track was an unlikely hit in the more electro-pop oriented early 80s. Written by Dave Luther, from folk pop group Hogsnort Rupert, it was the 12th biggest selling single in NZ in 1983. The all-singing, all-dancing music video, like so many of the era, was an Avalon Studios television production. Less typically, by the standards of the day, it practically amounts to a major production with multiple sets and a cast of dozens while the band hams it up.
Trippin' - 'Trippin'' was the debut single for early 1990s North Shore rockers Push Push, who were powered by the lung-filled squall of future media personality Mikey Havoc. It spent six weeks on top of the Kiwi singles chart, becoming their biggest hit, propelled in part by this highly effective, and award-winning performance video from brothers Chris and Tim Mauger. The clip provides ample testimony to the power of guitars, hair, T-shirts, that voice, and a healthy dose of strobe lighting. It's worth noting that, even at this formative stage of his career, Mr Havoc isn't exactly shy of the camera.
And finally this one...
As it's already Saturday, I can tell you it doesn't get worse than these three...
Thank me later

Are You Old Enough - This 1978 single marked the first number one for the Kiwi prog rockers turned Australian pop stars. It danced around the age of consent (the first line of the song gave the impression the narrator may be in jail). Later the song became the theme tune for 2012 Aussie TV show Puberty Blues. A time capsule of 70s Melbourne, the clip opens on singer Marc Hunter aimlessly wandering the city's streets and tramways, before transitioning to a glossier studio performance. Like many of the band's biggest hits, the song was written by Dragon's resident hook-writer, keyboardist Paul Hewson.
That is the 1983 Number One hit in the charts here. FOR THREE WEEKS IT HELD THAT SPOT!
And it slays any boss for all the wrong reasons
Please say you had zero involvement in the production of this
Fuck no! Back then I was editing around half of the rock clips made in Auckland, but we wouldn't have touched that pile of crap with a bargepole. I never liked any of the Hogsnort stuff.
In January 83 I left NZ for ten years in London, so I sadly missed this track enjoying its inexplicable burst of fame.
@flexghost Cheesy song, dark sentiment. Perfect choice as far as I'm concerned.

Mio and water, with a Jersey Mike's sub. With cheese.
Hey there! Just sitting here in my gaming chair with some cheese (oh, I get tonight's theme now!) and a monster energy drink (with a splash of vodka).
Here's a cheesy cover of Telstar by the Tornados that showed up in my recommendations for some reason. The video is fabulous and cracks me up!

Years ago I watched a Russian movie called Night Watch that was kind of dumb but this song was on the soundtrack and it stuck with me and every so often it pops into my head and I have to figure out how to search for А Я Всё Летала by Блестящие all over again.

I could have the wrath of half of Spain rain down on me for calling this song cheesy, but it is in the best way!

😆 I remember a time when there was a certain type of man who wore his hair as a visor. Like, his hair would extend out over his forehead like the bill of a baseball cap.
@victorvonvortex @flexghost This made me realize there's a distinct lack of Bananarama in this thread.
