I’ll bet you didn’t know that the theme to Hawaii 5-0 had lyrics

[via Circadian Shift ] Bubblegum Machine posts 2 MP3s a week, and their criteria are: “If it’s ever been on K-Tel or Ronco, it’s in. If it features hand

claps, cow bells, syrupy orchestration, walls of sound, wrecking crews,

sha-la-las, toothy teen idols or candy-based metaphors for carnal acts,

it’s in.”

Tom Jones singing Ring of Fire? Yes, please! [3 MB MP3 download]

Ever wondered what the theme from Hawaii 5-0 would sound like if it had lyrics and Sammy Davis Jr. sang it? Wonder no more [2MB MP3 download].

Ever been working on a project on your computer and were so deep into

the “flow” that you forgot to save your work? Then been hit by a power

outage or system error forcing you to reboot? Then you know what Macarthur Park [7MB MP3 download] — the unexplainable and overwrought pop hit sunch by Richard Harris in his overly eeee-loooo-seeeee-dated style — is all about:

Macarthur’s Park is melting in the dark

All that sweet cream icing flooooowing doooooown

Someone left the cake out in the rain

I don’t think that I can take it

Because it took so long to bake it

And I’ll never have the recipe agaaaaaaaaaaaaain!

Forget the Donna Summer version; this is the real deal, baby!

There are 74 weeks’ worth of MP3s on the site. Download, and enjoy the pure pop cheesiness!
