No, I'm not really here.
But thanks to the 'scheduling' feature, I'm able to act on a memory.
Say what? A recent McDonald's commercial has reignited some strong recollections from my own teen years.
Say what? A recent McDonald's commercial has reignited some strong recollections from my own teen years.
(Quoting from the web) "Every parent in possession of an automobile knows it can feel like a claustrophobic cell if a joyous group of really loud kids have found an earworm of a song to sing together while you drive."
For sure, our Methodist Youth Fellowship chaperones must have had invisible halos. In the back of 'Uncle' Art's station wagon we sang it loud, sang it proud (over and over) -- "Last Train to Clarksville."
So, today's poser --
Close your eyes ....
You're 16 years old once more.
You're 16 years old once more.
What are you singing?
Oops! I guess I should have rephrased this. Just curious what was the first song that popped in your head from that age.... not necessarily a 'road' song.
(YAY for Wi-Fi at the lake!)

From the shores of Lake Martin ... hugs!

I forgot you are At The Shore... hope you are having fun and good weather. cute commercial, I have not seen that one.. no singing in cars in our family
ReplyDeleteHey, it's not too late! (If Tom doesn't like my singing he can turn off his hearing aids!)
DeleteWhen I was a kid going to my grandparents we always sang, She'll be coming around the mountain and as a teen sang, Love me Tender... Yes a lot of singing was done in cars and I still do for that matter. Sometimes with others, but mostly by myself these days. I'm thankful for the technology that is keeping you in touch and bringing back some good memories today.
ReplyDeleteLove and hugs,
'ma'
'Coming Around the Mountain', yes...that was fun! And, do you remember, 'The Bear went over the Mountain (to see what he could see)'? Good times!
DeleteHer's hoping you had a wonderful Birthday. Bets wishes once more, Mevely.
ReplyDeleteGod bless. Enjoy your holiday.
Sorry ... for the bad speeling. Automatic spell-check made too misteaks in my previous post.
DeleteGod bless.
LOL, Darn that auto correct. Thank you so much; it's a great time thus far.
DeleteLike Victor's 'excuse' I blame it on AGE! haha.
ReplyDelete"Memories are Made Of This" old Dino. Enjoy your time on the lake.
Love from North Carolina.

PS: Tom can take it!
Great song. I sure miss old Dean!
DeleteDon McLean's song American Pie. Still enjoy listening to it 45 years later!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time at the lake!!!
betty
Me, too! I've forgotten most of the words, but can sure belt out the chorus... with vigor. :)
DeleteYou've Got a Friend is the song that comes to mind. Have a marvelous time at Lake Martin, Myra!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Thank you! Oh, aren't we bloggers building an awesome playlist for our virtual road trip?
DeleteThat year had 'bubble-gum' music on the jukebox. Red Rubber Ball same to mind first. Oh my gosh!!
ReplyDeleteAll together now, "...and I think it's going to be alright; ya, the worst is over now!" (Sorry for the earworm!)
DeleteMemories of songs always seem to settle on Purple People Eater, and Polka Dot Bikini. Why? I don't know.
ReplyDeleteI remember being so disappointed when my mother wouldn't sew me a flying purple-people-eater costume for Halloween! :)
DeleteHow about "Those Were the Days" sung by Mary Hopkin.
ReplyDeleteP.S.
What's this I hear about a birthday? I hope it's a great one with all good wishes!
Jon,
DeleteYou don't look old enough from your photo to remember "Those were the days" by Mary Hopkin.
God bless.
Oh man, that's one of my favorites. Each line resonates deeply. Thanks for the birthday wishes!
DeleteBelieve it or not, I was nearly 50 when that photo was taken.
DeleteI do love that commercial!!!
ReplyDeleteIn the year 2525! Boy if that song hasn't played out in the world since it was written.
