“Hate that damn song.”

Every time I hear it I remember it was played on the plane bringing home the released Iranian hostages on 1/20/81 — just as Reagan was being inaugurated.

I love that song.

I don’t remember that. Of course I was 10 years old at the time.

“Celebration” was the theme song for the Oakland A’s back in 1980. I think Billy Martin was the manager at the time and they called it “Billy Ball”.

Loved the song as a young person, but can’t stand it any more.
