Not sure they had "High School" when pale was around - more like single room school house then out to the fields or the factory if you think he's younger

I grew up listening to Tommy dorsey and Glenn Miller. My mom also sang a song that I have no idea what the name of it was...

Oh..the merry-go-round broke down
It made the darndest sound.
The lights went low
We all said, "OH!"
When the merry-go-round broke down.

And another one....

I love you, yes I do, I love you
If you break my heart, I'll die
So, be sure it's true when you say, "I love you"
It's a sin to tell a lie

Have you googled the lyrics?

My aunt used to whistle The Tennessee Waltz while she cleaned

I did and I have a couple of words wrong in the first, but basically the same. I also found out why the tune is so familiar...an instrumental version was used for the Looney Tunes theme right before Porky Pig said, "That's all folks!"

<----grew up listening to Led Zeppelin

<----listens to Glenn Miller & Tommy Dorsey now

I don't think yall are old.. I'm just kidding. Old is my great grandmother. She's 96.

If my dad were still living he would have been 94. My Mother will soon be 89.

Speaking of lyrics, some of those old early R&B songs from the 40's. Those lyrics are pretty spicy, I mean they can be downright dirty! Good to dance to though.

My FIL's 85. He's pretty old, too.

I remember the Tommy Dorsey album my mom had because the record was red and I thought that was cool!!!

You're right Boatn. They knew the limits with the censors and got in just under the wire.

On the radio right now....

On a dark desert highway,
cool wind in my hair................

I only made it through junior high, and I haven't seen anyone older than me yet....

I have heard about them olden days when you only went to school to get an 8th grade edgeykashun!

Yeah - and in Pale's case, it certainly was 'edgey'

"Legend of the USS Titanic" by Jaime Brockett.

Odds are, I'll only hear the song when I go to my iTunes and double click it.

Odds also are that less than 5 BOLers know what I'm talking about.

"You gotta let it out, Captain"

It's on my iPod!

I wanna rock and roll all night
and party every day!

You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy

These lyrics always take me back to driving my first car home from school with an 8-track blaring. Even if I didn't party THAT much....

And old Boston tunes really take me back too.

Take the long way home....Supertramp

First cassette I ever bought.

"Knowing me, Knowing You....uh huh......Breaking up is never easy...." ABBA

I loved that song as a kid!!!!!! If I did sing Karaoke, that is what I would sing...I had it down back in the day....or I thought I did anyway...

I was in the 2nd grade when "50 ways to leave your Lover" was number one on the Top 100 end of the year Countdown.....

Chicago was pretty good:

Waiting for the break of day
Searching for something to say
Flashing lights against the sky
Giving up I close my eyes
Sitting cross-legged on the floor
25 or 6 to 4

Staring blindly into space
Getting up to splash my face
Wanting just to stay awake
Wondering how much I can take
Should I try to do some more
25 or 6 to 4

Feeling like I ought to sleep
Spinning room is sinking deep
Searching for something to say
Waiting for the break of day
25 or 6 to 4
25 or 6 to 4

Me too! the first concert I ever went to was the Bee Gees back in the 70's OMG!!!!!!!!!

My parents have a record that is red - I can't remember who it is though. Mom used to love Don Ho (Tiny Bubbles)

Love the Eagles! Also loved Cat Stevens - if anyone remembers him from before he went Islamic

Yes, I remember Cat Stevens-I actually love all the singers and songwriters from the '70's and '80's.
