Thread Name: Songs We're Too Cool To Sing
Subject: RE: Songs We're Too Cool To Sing
Johnny Silvo does loads of "uncool", but, because he means it, it's great!

And, hey, Poppagator, I've done Michael Row the Boat Ashore lots of times. And recently. It works. Just about. Usually.

I did a phase of Seekers kitsch, but I'm cured now, although they used to go down well. But they were definitely camped up and not meant.

I did Don't it Make my Brown Eyes Blue (great song!) and Stand by your Man last night. But only in the break. I don't think that counts.

I hate "cool". There were those of my generation who were too cool to like The Sweet's Ballroom Blitz. And then there were those who transcended cool to know a good song when it smacked them around the place!

Now I'm old enough to not care if I'm cool. Does that count as cool? (And I don't want any replies from people who actually know me!)
