Alaskagal | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 02:07 pm     I was just listening to the radio and I heard "Toy Soldier" and it reminded me of a detassling corn in Nebraska one summer and how we'd all be singing it at the top of our lungs as it was blaring on the radio. When we'd lose radio antenna (from being to far into the field)we'd sing it acapella. What a riot that was. We thought we were cool.  |
Grooch | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 02:11 pm     Every time I hear "99 Red Balloons", I keep remembering how the class president wanted it to be our prom theme song.  |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 02:18 pm     Telstar I was in love for the first time. |
Moondance | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 02:21 pm     Donna Summer's Last Dance... first kiss with High School sweetheart |
Marysafan | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 02:29 pm     Yellow Submarine! It was my 16th birthday, and had just gotten the album (Album! Remember those!) from my boyfriend. It was such a happy song and a happy time...right before Viet Nam would become large in our lives. |
Juju2bigdog | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 02:33 pm     "Different Drum" Linda Ronstadt and the Stone Ponies, breaking up with Roy (thank goodness). |
Wink | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 02:39 pm     Dream, Dream, Dream, by the Everly Brothers. First time I ever slow-danced with a boy, a gazillion years ago. |
Webkitty | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 02:41 pm     "I Can See Clearly Now" the rain is gone (who did that?) First time I realized I WAS getting over that broken heart. |
Twiggyish | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 02:46 pm     We are the Champions, by Queen (Night at the Opera) Our school played it at pep rallies. Hotel California .. we'd sing it loudly as we drove down Ft. Lauderdale beach during spring break. Everyone knew all the words. Stairway to Heaven .. the early days with my hubby/boyfriend. My favorite song for years was, Dust in the Wind. I just loved it when I was younger. And anything from Fleetwood Mac's Rumours. Also a reminder of my youth. |
Grooch | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 02:49 pm     Brick House. I remember in elementary school when we had to write stories for english, all the boys would write how they would be "Kung Foo Fighting" to get out of danger and to save The "Brick House." |
Alaskagal | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 03:10 pm     Twiggyish, Dust in the Wind was our high school graduation song. I thought it was a terrible song to represent our senior year, but we all loved it. Once Bitten Twice Shy was my favorite song in Jr High. |
Marysafan | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 03:11 pm     In the eighties...HOLD ME NOW Riding in the car with my girls in the backseat ...with eighties hair and eighties clothes singing a duet! |
Tksoard | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 03:14 pm     Our class song was "Live for Today" by the Grass Roots. That is a strange motto for a graduating class!! That was in the early 70's.  |
Maris | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 03:19 pm     The Beatles song, "Hello Goodbye" I was home in bed with the flu and it played on the radio all day. |
Willsfan | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 03:21 pm     Sugar Pie, Honey by the Four Tops When I hear it I can almost feel the gentle breeze off the lake and sand between my toes. It was my first summer to drive a car and I spent many evenings hanging out with my friends on the beach watching the sun set. I'm outta here! I live within 15 minutes of a large lake and no other plans for the night. Ah...Life is good! Have a good evening everyone! |
Alaskagal | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 04:53 pm     Okay everyone remembers Hanging Tough - New Kids on the block.  |
Teddybear | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 10:18 am     I soooo remember every New Kid on the Block song!! The song that takes me back id "end of the road" by Boys II Men. Memories!! |
Whowhere | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 10:32 am     "It Takes Two" by Rob Bass (highschool senior song) and A Pirate Looks at 40 by Jimmy Buffet (childhood song - actually sung to me by Jimmy before he became famous). |
Willi | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 11:47 am     "Walking On Sunshine" by Katrina & the Waves. |
Kstme | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 02:15 pm     Whowhere! Another "Parrot Head?" How cool for you! He's one man that definitely knows how "to do" a concert!! "Come Monday" by Buffet...song playing on a particularly bad weekend in So. CA...1982. Can't hear that song without the memories. "Celebrate" good times...my snow skiing group's theme song! All in our class got "A" in "barmanship!" |
Gail | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 03:59 pm     Joy to the World by Three Dog Night - it seemed like it played every afternoon on the school bus. |
Kstme | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 06:35 pm     LOL...Gail! I was thinking "Wow! That song was out during my 'drinking' days!" 22 and VERY single! Had to luv the 70's! (of course, I'm talking about Lemonade! ) |
Twiggyish | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 06:59 pm     I loved Joy to the World. Great song. |
Holly | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 07:27 pm     Ba ba ba ba ba bra ann Oh Barbra Ann. All my friends and I would be riding down the road with the top down in the car singing this song.The first girl starts low then next girl a little bit higher,and before you knew it we were all singing. Thanks Alaskagal for this flashback. Great memories!! |
Sia | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 08:13 pm     "Dust in the Wind" by Kansas--actually, 'most anything else by them; I listened to a lot of Peter, Paul and Mary way back when I was very young; anything by Jim Reeves; "Drive" by The Cars; Ronnie Milsap's "It Was Almost Like a Song" reminds me of a good friend who was tragically killed by a mutual friend shortly after we graduated from high school; any song for which I own (and can play) the piano sheet music recalls times/events in my life; hits from Earth, Wind & Fire; Little River Band; REO Speedwagon; Bachman Turner Overdrive; Black Sabbath; um, gee, every song I hear brings back memories of some sort, LOL! |
