Do y'all like Piña Coladas?

And getting caught in the rain?
If y'all aren't into yoga,
If y'all have half a brain,
If y'all like making love at midnight,
In the dunes of the cape.
I'm the clone thread y'all looked for,
Post in me, and escape.

11:30 PM - do you know where your earworm is? Yes, I do. Now. Unfortunately!

yes I like penis and cojones
amd getting caught inthe shower
I like making love at midnight
as far as a recall.

I've had this in my head since I came in
At least now I know why

The other morning I woke up with the following going round my head:
You broke my garden
You broke my garden
You broke my garden and it made me hate you

Never did work out what I meant.

Allergy to coconut, so I've never had one.

I do like pineapples, and rum, though.

Unlike most of the rest of the world, I do like the song, though.

Bought the album because of it, back in the 70s.

And replaced it on CD.

Because I liked the rest of the album.

I probably shouldn't have admitted to that.

It's a fine song; I have no problem with Yacht Rock.

New hit song: Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Old Pina Colada;)

Make it a melon colada and I'm in.

Not a big fan of the pina colada song, and here is why: It ends with "hey I was gonna cheat on you. I had no idea it was you I was going to cheat with but we were fixin' to cheat on each other because we were bored...heeheee isn't it funny we were gonna boink other people and it turned out to be the same old boring person?"

When the going gets tough, the tough and bored eff the first person who likes coconut drinks and rain, or says they do in a personal ad?

;)

It was the 70s. I was just a kid then, but I understand it was a crazy ride, man.

I don't really count that late 70's song to be part of the whole "free love" experience of the late 60's/early 70's...more like the ME mentality of the 80's.

This is one of those things, like me not liking Will Farrel, that I stand pretty much alone on...doesn't anyone else find the concept of that song kind of sad in terms of commitment and honesty? Doesn't anyone else find the tune to be kind of formula?

I watched Tenebre last week. The movie was really good, except for the bad 80s music.

I do NOT and never have liked pina coladas. Not enough alcohol in it.

I DID like straight-ups of: voddie, rum, gin, tequila...all the clear liquors.

but, then, I am a :drunk: so...I'd prolly drink a pina colada if I were in desperate need.
(hopefully that need will not resurface)

I have never been able to stand coconut...even the smell will make me gag.

So I guess I don't like the drink or the song. I will have to answer, then "No, sir, I don't like Pina Coladas. I do like getting caught in the rain, and I have half a brain. However, I aspire to find a man who aspires for more than a woman with just half a brain" (another point I find offensive in the song.)

The song is a clear attempt to latch onto the zeitgeist of its time. What will become a successful pop song? Mentioning what has been said, that has not been said before, picking up the style of the day. Amongst the fresh tags in 1979's stylesheet: personal ads; pina coladas; health food; yoga; and calling your girlfriend the "old lady". The song is offensive for pandering to such things in such an obvious manner. It's a trick to get you to listen to it.

Mr Holmes had previously made his bones by writing a much more offensive "story song". It was called "Timothy". It was about cannibalism.

Back to the Long Pig!
Just can't get away from cannibals.

I've written the new hit song
 

Yes, I like Red Bull and vodkas,
gettin' caught in hurricanes,
Doin' kundalini yoga,
for fibromyalgia pain...

:lol2:

fibromyalgia pain...heeeelarious!

Fixed it for ya.

Hey, it's a serious medical problem and if I could only get the liquid morphine I need everyday to do my activities of daily living....but, (giant sigh) they only give me vicoprophen.

I KNOW there are truly people out there who suffer....but, mostly, I"ve seen druggies with it.

Hey, while I have you musicians around...what about the song itself: the music, the arrangement...isn't the PenisColada song rather...tripe?

I've seen LOTS of women who don't like to work with it. I shouldn't be like this, but I don't believe in it.

I sorta/kinda feel the same. If you come in with no diagnostics and say, "I've fibromyalgia, gimme [insert favorite drug here]," it gets a bit fishy.
Well, how do you KNOW it's fibromyalgia and not something else if nothing else has been ruled out?"

"Just gimme XYZ."

Won't fly with most docs.

Although, recommending pina coladas might ease the pain.

Yeah, that's how I see it too...from people I know who say they "suffer" (who aren't even the dreaded students I usually speak of!) ;)

Absolutely. As pop/rock-generic as possible for its time. The whole point of the arrangement is to get out of the way of the big vocal, so the listener can be bashed over the head with the lyric.

Of course there are other artists that use this approach, they're just more subtle about it. (B. Springsteen)

I like pina coladas.

I don't like the song. It is, as Shawnee said, formulaic. It commits the cardinal musical sin of being lame.

I'm actually with you, Shawnee. I hate the message of the song. When I was a kid I thought it was supposed to be romantic, but now that I'm an adult, I despise the story of two cheaters. I also agree with SteveDallas that it's lame. But I always enjoy it when I hear it (not very often) because it really captures the time. Kinda like hearing the Doobies.

I like pina coladas, but I agree they generally don't have enough alcohol in them. That's why it's always beneficial to make your own. ;)

At this very moment, I have pina colada popsicles in my freezer, as well as pina colada yogurt in the refrigerator. I am a big fan of the flavor.

Thus far, the only people I see who claim to have Fibromyalgia definitely have Borderline Personality Disorder.

As ever, wolf hits the sweet spot.

I really like pina coladas.

wish I had one right now.

don't like the song.

A friend of mine used to claim (not seriously) that Pina Colada translated as Penis Colossus.

The same guy used to make up his own lyrics to The Happy Wanderer, which is played by an ice-cream van round here and it drives me crazy. I'm walking down the street and all I can hear in my head is:
My nutsack on your flaps
or
My japs eye in your crack
or
similarly Beavis & Butthead lines

I'll have you know my personality disorder, is definitely not borderline. :crazy:

I'm fairly sure that satyriasis is not listed in the Big Book o' Crazy as a personality disorder.

In you, I'd consider it an asset.

If we're talking about songs that breed fear and loathing, I vote for "Afternoon Delight." It flooded the airwaves when it first came out, and everytime I heard it, I switched to the classical music station. Nothing like a little Vivaldi to calm the nerves. :cool:

Oh, and for you young 'uns, here's a sample of the lyrics:

Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always though a fish could not be caught who wouldn't bite
But you've got some bait a waitin' and I think I might try nibbling
A little afternoon delight.

::singing softly to myself::

If You Like Erik Estrada...

I have been missing you and the tears of laughter you induce.

This ought to be recast so it scans to "Lime In The Coconut." Allergy to coconut, never had one...
