Ever hear the true story about the origin of that song?
"During her heyday as a porn actress, True was hired by a real estate business in Jamaica to appear in their commercial ads. During her stay on Jamaica, a political crisis gripped the island, and no one was allowed to leave with any money. Not wanting to lose her hard-earned pay, True asked her friend, record producer Gregg Diamond, to travel to the island and produce a track for her, which she would finance locally. Diamond arrived with a composition in hand, to which True added lyrics. The result of their collaboration was "More, More, More."
Only in the '70s could one single Top 40 song be born of a porn star, a coup d'etat and currency restrictions.

Another one that fits is "I Like Dreaming" by Kenny Nolan. And Angel Is A Centerfold by the J. Geils Band.

I always win the worst song contests because I go straight for the “jugular”.

Yeah, good ones. Elfman’s an incredible composer. I liked his Ska tinged tunes as well.

How did this go from great intros to earworms?

Don’t be dissin’ “Rubberband Man”!
In the 70’s I was sought out as a bouncer because I was on the wrestling team in college and subjected to them all. I’ll challenge you to a best disco/funk thread any day. I get “Funkytown” first...

It's somehow comforting to know that the songs I found most loathsome were also found loathsome by a woman.
Perhaps that's something Larry Summers, the former President of Harvard, should look into. Maybe it could be built into the nucleus of his Comeback Tour.

Timothy, indeed. The only top-40 song about cannibalism. Written by Rupert Holmes, who later wrote Escape, another top-40 hit.

Quite a few conservative or libertarian tunes in there, and they only got better with every new release. Doesn’t hurt that Danny isn’t bad on a guitar and has one of the top fifty guitarists in the world playing with him in the band, either. Whole crew was composed of excellent musicians. I recommend the later albums especially, you get some really incredible work there.
