Re: HIT SONGS FROM WHEN YOU WERE A KID!!

Oh how i can relate as my favorite year in music was 1972...

I recall Without You by Harry Niilson and Alone Again Naturally by Gilbert O Sullivan being the top 2 songs back then...

Others that come to mind from that time of my life earlier and later include:

1- Dizzy

2- Sugar Sugar

3- Me and Mrs Jones

4- Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ol Oak Tree

5- Delta Dawn

6- Honesty

7- Knock 3 Times

8- I've Got you Babe

9- How Can You Mend a Broken Heart

10- I've Got a Name


Yep, if I had gone one more song with my list, it was going to be Delta Dawn.

For the love of sweet Jesus, I wasn't saying I like the song. Much like I am Woman by Helen Reddy, it is just a memory that comes to me whether I want it to or not.

And now I've got a bunch of cheesy Olivia Newton-John songs from that era flooding to mind.


Maybe there are medications that can help.

And now - even worse - I'm afraid I'm going to have Captain and Tenille songs stuck in my head all day.

Re Lynn Anderson, there was of course the alternate lyric that would get used by little dirtbags like me and my friends on the playground (which I'll adapt for current circumstances):

I beg your pardon
I just noticed that Shrink just farted

Greetings!

The following is a link to the Munchkin Man's favorite song while he was growing up as a kid during the 1950s.

YouTube - Battle of New Orleans - Better Audio

The Munchkin Man got in a very bad fight at a public jukebox over this song.

The Munchkin Man wanted to play his song above.

The other kid wanted to play Elvis Presley's song "Hound Dog Man."

The Munchkin Man and this other kid got into argument.

He pushed the Munchkin Man.

The Munchkin Man pushed him back.

The other kid then punched the Munchkin Man in the mouth and knocked out the Munchkin Man's two front teeth.

This cost the Munchkin Man's parents thousands of dollars in dental work and cap jobs for the next ten years.

Then after the Munchkin Man left home and got on his own, the Munchkin Man had to pay a few thousand more to get them redone.

Not once but three times.

The Munchkin Man is still looking for this kid.

Best Wishes,

Munchkin Man

I'd bet quite a lot that we are within 3 years of each other in age...:rolleyes:

Sounds like a pretty solid bet. I'm 44.

The Munchkin Man is older than I would have guessed (no offense intended MM).

No offense taken.

The Munchkin Man was inflicted with an early onset of his dementia and a late onset of his Third Person Communicative Disorder (TPCD).

Good luck to you.

I think Mr. Roboto was some crazy attempt at a rock opera by Styx.
