so, i woke up this morning singing, "baby baby don't get hooked on me..." that's probably about all i know and i don't know who did the song or who wrote it ... but my instincts tell me that mac davis wrote it. now, i haven't searched, googled, clustied, nor anything'd yet ... even at this moment i do not know.
so, why the title? because i bet mac davis has written ten songs that people probably might or should know. it's a guess ... and i am about to open google and discover with a search the answers to the above questions?
1. who sang "baby baby don't get hooked on me"?
2. who wrote "baby baby... on me"?
3. ten songs written by mac davis.
that's the game. it could be fun, interesting, or who knows - spin the wheel, click
click
click
click
(enough with the clicks)
the results:
1. who sang "baby baby don't get hooked on me"?
first result returned this comment - no answers (actually the answer was on the results page ... i just clicked this link for some reason):
My husband's worst are from childhood. Imagine how thrilled he was to find a song with is name--Tommy--in it! You know, "Baby, Baby, Don't Get Hooked Tommy?" Imagine his disappointment when he learned it was actually, "Baby, Baby, Don't Get Hooked on Me."the results offered mac davis, nat stuckey, allman brothers band, rascal flats, maybe a few more...
seems mac davis could very well be the writer and original singer - nothing with dates ... nothing seemingly certain.
i did find that it was listed on drudge as one of
the worst lyrics in pop history ???
not sure if it is or not ... there's too many great horrible lyrics, "she ran calling wildfire..." probably that song alone has enough within itself :-)
2. who wrote "baby baby... on me"?
seems it was mac davis - original singer and author ... though
the page i found was, "as sung by mac davis" and appears to give author credits to the song. and in the results i notice - conway did a cover as well. not the question but ... oh, conway twitty for those who don't just know him as conway ... funny how many covers there probably have been of this song.
and
this seems to clinch mac davis as the writer and singer - and apparently the covers have varied lyrics ... just a guess.
3. ten songs written by mac davis.
and now a
search for the top 10 songs written by mac davis - fingers crossed ... click ... wait!!!
hmmm, maybe top ten is a bit of an overstatement - before i look i probably should suggest that i am going to try and find 10 known songs or well known songs by mac davis - now ... click:
hmmm, now i don't know all these songs - so i'll mark
the ones i know in red and see if i can get 10 of them out of the lot...

and i give up though i did see this dumb image on the side of one of the pages... maybe if
memories is the one i know then i found 10 songs by mac davis that i know ... but my blogging time has run out and "in the ghetto" should count as 2 songs anyway ... the king did that one ya know...
oh, the picture:

i dunno ... it was an irritating picture among several others trying to lure stupid people into vide chats or something. so i snarfed it :-)
the end.
