  1. Look at these bozzos:

  2. This one may be a contender:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGoWtY_h4xo
    The movie it came from was equally as bad.
    A few months after the song was on the charts, I was at a wedding reception where the band played their arrangement of it. The couple separated several years later.

  3. ‘I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that cost too much to be free’
    Charlene’s singing ain’t so hot but the lyrics are sort of interesting.

  4. Big Yellow Taxi Putrid,Tasteless and dumb eco-wackoism at its more rediculous

  5. I feel sorry for those condemned to the limited offerings of AM music. I had a newspaper route at age twelve and my meager earnings permitted me a slightly different musical perspective. I loved the English beats, not the Stones(mediocre at best), or the sounds of Paul, George, Ringo, or John(weren’t they Fabulous?), but the drive of the Who, Badger, Colosseum, Genesis, Beck, and Zepplin Of course the girls, raised to the sounds of Donny and Michael, thought me a little weird, but then again, maybe I was!

  6. It’s actually an anti-feminist song. She is lamenting that she followed the “good” life and now is alone without ever having the fulfillment of children and a husband.

  7. We really need to stop criticizing Justin and Lady Sophie, they are wildly popular. If an election were held today Justin and his cabal would be elected to another majority. God Bless Canada, where $h!t for brains is rampant.

  8. I remember that song from the year I graduated from high school and then started university. Its title inspired some rather tasteless jokes, if you get my meaning.
    How come music like that came from such trashy movies?

  9. The left wouldn’t care for the song.
    Progressives believe that you can spend your way to prosperity or screw your way to happiness.

  10. Ah yes Charlene and her anti-feminist song. Unfortunately this rendition left out a bridge where she spoke about the man you fought with this morning as being the same man you will make love with tonight. My wife had this song on an LP and played it for all of her feminists friends. I don’t know it had any effect beyond making them angry but if that was all it was worth it.

  11. My parents took a dim view to what was played on the radio, particularly my father. He thought that only degenerates and bums listened to that stuff, while my mother eventually became a bit more lenient, particularly when one would hear it in the evening from remote stations.
    Often on the stereo at home, there was middle-of-the-road elevator music, occasionally country (my father has a complete set of Hank Williams LPs!), and, occasionally, classical.
    It wasn’t until I went off to university that I could freely listen to rock music. I eventually developed my own tastes, figuring out what I liked or what was worth listening to.
    I discovered bands like Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Eagles, the Byrds, Chicago, Fleetwood Mac, and Boston because that was played on the local stations where I attended university as an undergraduate. I have some of their recordings in my CD collection.
    It wasn’t until I joined a university choral group during my senior year that my musical preferences expanded and I have a small fortune invested in classical and opera recordings. To this day, I prefer that.

  12. I live in Ontario.
    Do you think lying politicians aren’t fooling the LIV’s?

  13. Call me the Old Skeptic.
    I have spoken to too many LIV’s…brainwashed by Gore and Suzuki, CBC and TWN.
    We are screwed.

  14. If this doesn’t signal the end of the Ontario Liberal reign the people of the province are beyond brain dead, they have no pulse.

  15. No,it will probably become the template for the Federal government climate plan.
    Ending natural gas use for heating homes?! Wynne IS completely insane!

  16. Update: AGW RIP Invades USofA, eh?
    “Colder temperatures will linger from Rockies to Appalachians”
    …-
    “Northeast Chill Brings Record Snowfall to Northern Maine”
    ““This is the highest amount of snow we have had this late in the year,” said Rich Norton, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Caribou, Maine. “It will set a new record.”
    A second cold front moving through the Great Lakes on Monday threatened to drop temperatures 10 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit (11 to 17 Celsius) below normal from the Rocky Mountains to the central Appalachians through the middle of the week, according to the agency.”

  17. *
    in other news from health canada…
    “A significant body of scientific evidence supports the medical use of alcohol,
    also known as distillery-grade scotch, for the treatment of chronic relapsing
    alcohol dependence,” the department said in a news release issued Friday.

    remember… rehab is for quitters.

  18. More proof that liberalism is a mental disorder:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXg5WmSpPlc
    So, the Liberals want a Department of Peace, 62 official languages, and a minimum guaranteed income for everyone.
    I think we better change our national emblem from a beaver to a unicorn, because we’ll see herds of them before this proposed loonyness will ever work.
    Oh, by the way, sugar will then be a toxic substance. I guess the bread that I bake and the beer that I brew will then be considered to be health hazards, right?
    Remember, folks, elections have consequences…..

  19. Germany Replaces Nuclear with Coal, GHGs Skyrocket
    https://cna.ca/news/germany-replaces-nuclear-coal-ghgs-skyrocket/
    In 2013, Germany’s electrical production required a 44 percent rise in coal power. In fact, coal represented 45.5 percent of Germany’s power output, its highest level in 20 years.

    In 2013, Germany’s carbon emissions rose 1.8 percent, while European Union emissions fell 1.3 percent.

    And the Energiewende hasn’t only increased the amount of atmospheric carbon Germany is producing. It’s increasing consumers’ power bills.
    The annual increase in residential electricity rates has accelerated since 2011 when the Energiewende went full throttle. The annual increase is now seven percent, compared with 4.3 percent between 2005 and 2010, according to Eurostat.
