Culprit The Osmonds
Title Love Me For A Reason
Year 1974
Written by Johnny Bristol
Submitted by Siegfried Baboon

The world's most famous Mormon family plod their way a bit too slowly through this ineffectual piece of pop. Which makes it all the more surprising towards the end of the song when they use some sort of weird slide guitar-type noise to bungee-jump their way up a key.

As ridiculous as the gear change is, for me it cannot outweigh the fact that the chorus repeatedly tries (and fails) to rhyme "fun" with "one".
