Local radio station (WKLH) in Milwaukee was doing a list of the most politically incorrect songs. Some may have been politically incorrect, but also were rather terrible! Yes, there really isn't much effort or depth to the Beyonce song. But remember, the 70's brought us Disco. Each generation/decade produces it's own list of pop songs produced for only profit without and depth or talent to them.
Let's remember some great hits from the 1970's:
"Ain't Gonna Bump No More" by Joe Tex
"Disco Duck"
"Venus" disco version by Frankie Avalon
"Singing in the Rain" by Sheila B Devotion
"Baby Face" I don't know who sang this
"Loving You" by Minnie Riperton (side note, this song is sort of a guilt pleasure, I can listen but then it gets on my nerves about 1/2 way through)
"Afternoon Delight" by Starland Vocal Band (I vacilate on this one, but the off-key singing has me putting it on the list)
I'm sure there is plenty more.
