by **Paul_UK** » Sat Oct 25, 2008 6:51 am

Not sure if its been mentioned, but did you know that Barry Manilow has covered Journey's Open Arms as part of his new coverfest album, The Greatest Songs Of The Eighties?!

Hmmm!!

No shame at all, Frito-Lay. That song has always been dreadful. It rivals all the shit on "Generations"! Only Perry could turn gay songs like "Open Arms" and "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'" into hit songs!

My point is that was intolerant of you to use "that" word. What if the songs are g-y does that make them wrong? :?:

Sorry dude. I'm the least politically correct guy you'll EVER meet in your life! You'll never catch me using the word "gay" in a homophobic sort of way. When I'm trying to convey a point online, it simply works in many sentences. It's used with ZERO malice! It simply helps the sentence flow better!

So you are not against gay songs, just gay people. Got it.

Hey Tito:
Rock has been held to be many things ideally, but maybe "gay" just isn't one of them.
Journey is a rock band, or so I've been led to believe, and it's not unreasonable to expect rock from them.
Saying Open Arms is "gay" really means the song doesn't rock.

If I describe a man as too pretty, that doesn't mean that being pretty is bad in itself.
I mean, it works great for girls ...but it doesn't often suit a man.

Stop being so gay.
:twisted:

Thanks for the heads up. I'm a very big Barry Manilow fan myself. We share the same birthday. That will be one CD that I will be looking to buy.

Barely Manilow doin' Open Arms? That's just all kinds of wrong. That covers CD of his has to be the ultimate cheese-fest.

No, it means that Barry is trying to get an audition for Journey when Arnel is done.

Looks like Manilow has been Rickrolled.

by **ProgRocker53** » Sun Oct 26, 2008 4:09 am

More like the Gayest Songs of the Eighties.

by **Paul_UK** » Sun Oct 26, 2008 9:40 am

Missed that Right Here Waiting was included too!!

Marx has one of the best voices ever and a very underrated writer in his own right.
