rdavenport Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Oh dear, here goes: The Andrew Gold songs "Lonely Boy" and "Never Let Her Slip Away" Neil Sedaka's "The Immigrant" - think that's what it's called. Actually, I don't know if he wrote it, but I remember hearing it on a tape of a Sedaka album I found in my parents's house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeline Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 (edited) Oh boy, kind of embarrassing, but... - Some of Frankie Valli's songs. (Really. ) - Those English sci-fi shows with marionettes that were so popular during the 60s. (I was a big fan of Super Car and Fireball XL5.) - Tom Baker as Dr. Who. - The Dr. Who theme song music (from the Tom Baker era). - Sardine and tomato sandwiches. (Picked up habit at a sandwich shop in London.) - "The Purple People Eater." - Sappy Brazilian, Cuban (etc.) love songs. - Surf guitar, a la Dick Dale. - Johnny Hallyday.

BruceH Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Hollywood Musicals - Singin' In The Rain was the first movie I ever remember seeing and I've probably watched it 20 times over the years...I'm also a huge fan of Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers Why is that something to feel guilty about?

Super Car was made by the same people, but apparently it only ran on a handful of stations here in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alocispepraluger102 Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 I LOVE APPLEBEE'S WINGS MADLY. (Applebee's Accused Of Making Fat Asses http://www.abcactionnews.com/news/local/st...da-2030f855223e TAMPA, FL -- Restaurants often claim to have low calorie meals or things on their menus with half the fat. But our two month investigation back in May found that some restaurants making those claims aren't always serving up what they advertise. Now, a customer has hired an attorney to put the restaurant and weight loss industry on notice. It's known as your 'neighborhood grill' but Applebee's Restaurant is accused of being not such a good neighbor. Applebee's parent company and Weight Watchers are accused in a 27 page lawsuit of making low fat claims about meals, often loaded with fat and calories. This follows an ABC Action News investigation from May, when we worked with sister stations in seven different cities around the country. We bought and tested seven meals, claiming to be low in fat and calories from Applebees Weight Watchers' menu. And the results were not always what the restaurant claimed they would be. While the calorie difference was slight, the fat was over on every item we tested, doubling and even tripling in three of the meals! That's why a northeast law firm filed a class action suit on behalf of consumers across the country. Lawyer Alison Foster said,"This lawsuit is really about the false advertising, where people bought something that was advertised different than what they thought they were getting." They claim the entrees on Applebee's special Weight Watchers section are listed as 'healthy menus' but often "inaccurately represent the caloric and fat content of the food at issue." "It's sort of a betrayal--it's taking advantage of people who want to pay attention to their health and instead selling them something that's going to hurt them," Foster said. Meanwhile, Weight Watchers says "the company does not comment on current litigation." And an Applebee's spokesperson said, "We take claims about our Weight Watchers menu seriously. We believe variation between listed and actual food nutritional content is inevitable. We are reviewing the claims, but we don't think they have merit." During our investigation six-months ago, ABC Action News purchased low fat, low cal items at some of the most popular restaurant chains and put them to the test. Following our labs instructions, each menu item was placed in a ziploc bag, labeled, packed on ice, shipped, and tested for caloric and fat content at EPA certified AnalyticalLaboratories in Boise, Idaho. Test results showed the cajun lime tilapia meal on the menu at Applebee's, which was supposed to have six grams of fat, instead had 12-grams of fat! Also, the italian chicken and portobello sandwich was supposed to have six-grams of fat, but tested three times that with 18.6 grams! "We want to have an informed consumer," registered dietician Nancy Holder said from University Community Hospital. She analyzed our findings and suggested that viewers think about what they're eating. "What is concerning is that what they're presenting as being healthful meals really have more calories and fat than the individual might think," Holder said. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will admit that Toni Tennille has a great voice. I heard her sing the national anthem once (live), and was quite impressed. But, that song sucked when it came out, and it still sucks.
