Melodically, it's not that bad of a song, but it certainly qualifies in the cheese category. ...of course, the following year he released the thoroughly cheese-tastic "Thank You For Being A Friend".

A few years ago I worked for a company doing building renovations, and one co-worker would sometimes bring a radio and switch it between two stations during the day. One was an "oldies" station and the other was more of a "light rock" format. It wasn't bad, really, especially since there was often so much work noise that would drown out the radio, but we would generally hear most of the songs mentioned in this thread at some point. There were certain tunes we heard every day. "Brandy" by Looking Glass was one, and we would get to hear "Crocodile Rock" at least twice a day.
