Is "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)" better than "Imagine"?

[LoZoccolo]

I think so. Pop radio megahit.

[supernova]

1. Living up to your screename, I see

:D

[LoZoccolo]

2. Hmmmm.

I don't see how "the hoof" (:kick:) in Italian figures in this, but oh well.

3. Rupert Holmes is less dead than John Lennon

So you would be correct.

[no name no slogan]

13. Yes, and he now does musicals on Broadway. No lie.

He's still around, getting paid for making music.

[mr blur]

4. I've never heard it, but

I'd say that just about anything is better than "Imagine". Awful, awful song.
:puke:

[LoZoccolo]

7. "Do you like pina colada, and getting caught in the rain."

That's from the chorus; you might recognize it from that.

[NoSunWithoutShadow]

12. WTF - "Imagine". Awful, awful song. (eom)

:wtf: :mad:

[northzax]

20. yup- good message

but overly sentimental plonk combined with below average music, hardly Lennon's best work.

Yes, the Escape Song is better. Ten times better.

[KamaAina]

5. Well, it wasn't half bad :) , but better than "Imagine"?

Now if you'd said "better than (name of Oasis tune)", you'd be a Lounge hero forever, but...

[DanCa]

6. Im just wasting away in margarittaville

searching for my lost shaker of salt. Some people say that there's a women to blame. But I dunno. It's nobody fault.

8. "Escape" is the funniest song....

I love it. :loveya:

[LoZoccolo]

9. It is funny.

"Imagine" is not funny like "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)" is.

[AlienGirl]

10. "Escape" is my favorite karaoke song!

Nothing funnier than going up with a bunch of friends and singing "Escape." :rofl:

11. Love that song, but it was a bit overdone when it first came

out in the '70s. When I lived in Miami, the radio stations would play it at least once an hour.

[blockhead]

14. a girl that went to high school with me thought

he said "if you like bean enchiladas"......

[tuvor]

15. I don't like either song, but at least in Imagine...

...the chorus has a different tune from the verse.

[LoZoccolo]

16. That's because neither chorus nor verse is good enough for a whole song.

With "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)", you have a tune which is good enough to keep listening to.

[tuvor]

17. Just like Culture Club's Do You Really Want to Hurt Me.

How 'bout that!

[Blue-Jay]

18. It's better than any Oasis song ever farted out

by the fightin' Gallagher crapholes.

[MrSlayer]

19. Yes, if you are completely out of your mind.

Otherwise no. And Imagine isn't even that great of a song. Great lyrics and concept, kind of boring as a tune.
