Thread Name: Saccharine Overload (songs)
Subject: RE: Saccarine Overload
Que Sera, Sera and about 250 songs around its time on the pre-Elvis Hit Parade. Swear to god, popular music just before the advent of Rock and Roll -- outside of Country -- was the most saccharine, synthetic, Muzak-wannabe collection of falsely sweet drivel... Pat Boone, Love Letters in the Sand, Connie Francis, Love Forever True,Hot Diggety Dog Diggety, This Old House, even early sorta rock tunes like "Green Door" and "Hernando's Hideaway" were so much pseudo-dreck, to my mind. Not to step on any toes or anything.
