Cheesiest singer or group you secretly like (Read 999 times)

John Denver I am and will forever be a fan! but most think...Dork! and his t.v specials...nothing but cheese

Nobody here in CO admits they like John Denver, but whenever he gets played on the jukebox at the bar all of a sudden everyone knows all the words to "rocky mtn high" Interesting side fact (you can impress people at random trivia)- at his official memorial in Aspen, the lyrics to rocky mountain high have been changed posthumously to remove any potential drug references.

Funny... I never thought of that song as a song about Drug references..To hear Old John Tell it, it's about seeing a meteor shower while camping in the Rockies..and I believed it...sheeeesh thanks for the info!

Cheese may be in the eye of the beholder, but there is a range. Say, Velveeta to Humboldt Fog or a Monte Enebro, maybe. If he is a cheese, John Denver definitely is definitely NOT at the "processed" end of things. Now, that crappy madefortvmovie about him was cheesy.

Here's the source- New park sanitizes Denver’s lyrics ASPEN – If you want an authoritative guide to the lyrics and life of the late singer John Denver, who died 10 years ago this month in a plane crash, don’t go to the park bearing his name in his adopted hometown of Aspen. The Aspen Times says the lyrics etched into stone obelisks at the riverside park were bowdlerized. The last verse of his signature “Rocky Mountain High” included the line “Friends around the campfire and everybody’s high.” But it’s not on the rock. Another song, “Poems, Prayers and Promises,” had a line about “my friends and my old lady sit and pass a pipe around.” Not in the park. There, it’s “my friends and my old lady sit and watch the sun go down.” The creators of the park said they consulted the family for lyrics, but his brother, Ron Deutschendorf, said he wasn’t consulted – and he’s sure John Denver would have been unhappy. “He’d be pissed like I’m pissed. It’s just not right.” The newspaper says that it tried to contact Denver’s ex-wife, Annie Denver, but was unable to reach her.

Okay, I don't think that I can compete with the Partridge Family, but I have a playlist devoted entirely to classic country. The cheesiest on there would have to include Tammy Wynette, Rodger Miller, Crystal Gale, Kitty Wells, and of course drum roll please....... Hank Williams Sr. By the way, If we are still discussing one-hit-wonders, Virtual Insanity by Jamiroquai released in 1996.

Now thats just wrong! sensor a fine up standing nerd of a guy like John Denver like that. I would hate to see what they would do with an Eminem or Tom Petty song... somethings are sacred and shouldn't be messed with! thanks for the info I found it very interesting... hey are you really still buried out there?
