You know, there were so many stories of a miserable future (1984, Fahrenheit 451, Soylent Green, The Omega Man, etc.) that one almost wondered if any of the writers knew what they were talking about. Even the hilarious Woody Allen movie "Sleepers" showed the irony of the stupidity of mankind. It's a shame we didn't listen to them.

I think "Honey" was sponsored by the Kleenex Corporation as it had to of boosted sales dramatically. lol Zager and Evans was kind of an ominous look at the future ... much different than many of us anticipated back when it was released. Johnny Cash ... well, there will never be another like him.

Oh, you too! :) This could actually have been a post of nothing but Ray Stevens songs. He definitely found his niche, even though he was actually a great singer, and had a big hit with "Everything Is Beautiful". I was lucky enough to be around and reading Rolling Stone reviews when "Desire" was released, so I had a real good idea what it was talking about even before purchasing it. That whole album is one that has always been a fav with me, as well as "Blood On The Tracks." Really appreciate the comments!

It contains so many great tunes. I know I'm in the minority, but that one and "Blood on the Tracks" are at the top of the list with me. Novelty songs filled my childhood. In fact, the first song I ever remember hearing was "The Purple People Eater" by Sheb Wooley. Glad you enjoyed!

What I find strange is that hardly anyone remembers his great straight song, "Everything is Beautiful." I loved "Honey" when it first came out, but quickly tired of it after hearing it on every TV show and radio station 15 million times. It and "You Light Up My Life" go into the same category. Your "Very Interesting" reminds me of "Laugh In". lol Many Thanks!Richard Rumplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15478732756685966429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8431865736422930321.post-150196845412497732013-11-13T14:11:12.860-05:002013-11-13T14:11:12.860-05:00I didn't recognize them all.
