10 Most Cheesy Songs From The 1970s

7. Long Haired Lover From Liverpool - Little Jimmy Osmond (1972)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YriPIujLtsA I'll be your Valentine and you'll be mine and things'll be cool We'll move along together every day I'll be your long haired lover from Liverpool You'll be my sunshine lady from LA Capitalising on the worldwide 1970s mania for everything to do with The Osmands, the youngest member of that giant Mormon family, decided to show the universe he was a precocious brat, and worthy of his family name by releasing this piece of turdishness when he was nine years old. In doing so, he became the youngest person to top the British charts. A mighty feat indeed but a bloody obnoxious, cheesy song enabled little Jimmy's success. God bless him, he really tried to sell the song, but one - he is not from Liverpool, two - he does not have particularly long hair, and three - he's a tiny lad! What the heck does he want with a sunshine daisy from LA? Plus the lyrics: I'll be your leprechaun and sit on an old toadstool I'll serenade you til I'm old and grey Is the boy mentally ill? Whoever would want to be a leprechaun and serenade someone until they are old and grey. It beggars belief. Wouldn't he rather be out sowing his wild oats rather than lamenting like Jeremiah over some LA bird? Unbelievably this song sold over a million copies and horrified the world for a brief period in the 1970s when 'Little' Jimmy took centre stage and fed the earth some prime crapola.
