MizPete Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 All of the above, and more. I do remember one day, riding along with Petey, & it came on the radio & I'm singing along: I turned 21 in prison, doing life without parole... His response: how do you even know that? I can even remember Dylan lyrics, and that's a lot of words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgavin Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 "Seared" being the operative word... probably the Barney the Purple Dinosaur song. Tiny Tim / Tiptoe Through the Tulips also comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdog Dago Dom Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I did like "Love Shack" by the B-52's. About 20 years ago I met a friend for a beer in my hometown. It was early, around 5pm. Eating, drinking, talking. repeat repeat repeat. Around 8pm a group came in. Sound hardware. 3 ring binders around the bar. Place filled up. Karaoke night was here. The quiet night of reminiscing was gone. Every drunk in the place, for some reason, wanted to sing Love Shack. Totally not kidding. Nothing like having a song you like modified with extra notes and 80 proof shots by people who think singing louder is better. Left at 9:30. Still can't listen to Love Shack. It has been un-seared.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 We played Love Shack in a wedding band I played in 20 years ago. We had to play that song at least 3 times a night! My God how I hated that song and still do! Celebration is another one and they still play that song at weddings today! Really??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I supplement my income by fronting a very good band!! We have a song list that includes over 400 songs and I'm the lead singer on 385 of them!! One or another of the songs we cover that were originally performed by the Beatles is probably the first song I learned as a jr. high schooler and I performed them back when they were new!! My favorites are those and numerous old and new blues songs!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 A bunch of us American kids were playing hockey in Davos Switzerland in 1972. American Pie had just become a big hit. Whenever we hit a local bar, and they learned we were Americans, American Pie was on the Jukebox. Must have heard that song a hundred times. So, yeah the lyrics are seared in my brain and every time I hear it, it brings back some great memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Chance Morgun Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 CCR's "looking out my back door." 1970, just out of HS, my best friend and I road tripped to Kansas to see a friend of ours who had moved because his father was in the Army. Our parents were camping in Illinois that week-end, so instead of stopping at home, we joined them. On your way home, that song came on the radio. Like most, we went our own way, and over the years, had less contact with each other. We reconnected a few years ago now that we are both retired. I told him that every time I hear that song, I think of that trip. He said he has the same reaction. On another note, I use to enjoy messing with a co-worker. Every day, I'd hum, whistle, or sing a different song first thing in the morning. He'd curse me up one side and down the other because he'd have it in his head all day long.
