Daddy Dewdrop! Bo Donaldson and The Heywoods! Paper Lace! The Original Caste! The Royal Guardsmen! Rick Dees! The Captain and Tennille! And many more! All together you get 25 original hits by the original artists on two jam-packed LPs or one long playing 8-track! Act now, send your entire wallet to PO Box 5170, Grand Michids, Rapigan. 90051! ORDER TODAY! ... The Yahoo Group knows that this may read like a parody, but K-tel actually put out loads of albums filled with bad music just like this, and even advertised them as such. Poster Comment: Also at AoS yesterday: 
Stupid Hits of the 70s! Announcing a new collection of all of the songs that you knew and loved, yet can't quite believe were hits! You'll get The Bouys!
That's right, this album contains songs so bad, they're good! "How on earth did these songs become hits?" you'll ask yourself. We don't know, but we do know you remember Zager and Evans!

Loved K-Tel! Had a bunch of those 70s albums. Daddy Dewdrops and 1971's 'Chick-a-Boom.' Up there with 1972's Chuck Berry's 'My Ding-a-Ling' as all-time embarrassing child-like ditties. (Yes, I thought they were subversive even then.)
Well, it was his only No. 1 hit. Maybe it was his give up, sell out hit. It was slightly amusing.
Maybe it was his give up, sell out hit. A very baaaad #1. 1972 was a really competitive year for music too. It embarrassed me when it'd come on the radio. It was a major sell-out, no doubt.

I doubt that it was his (Berry's) decision to release that inane song as a single. If it was - he himself should be embarrassed. What a terrible song out of his dozens of R & R classics to be remembered for by so many people.
