Somehow I have a recollection that we'd recorded "Feelings", but apparently we only performed that one live. Bad enough that we put it in a show, but despite the fact that it's always been on my thumbs-down list, it was a big hit for Morris Albert (who???). I love what Wikipedia has to say about "Feelings":
In more recent years "Feelings" has been best known as a target of parody and ridicule for embodying what are perceived by many as the most insipid lyrical and musical qualities of 1970s "soft rock" music. It appears frequently on lists of "the worst songs ever and was included on the 1998 Rhino Records compilation album '70s Party Killers.
During a lecture at Chautauqua Institution, Julie Andrews stated that she considered this song too difficult to sing because it had no meaning behind it.
So there - my "feelings" about this song are verified by more than one authority!
