And I love hearing the theme from a "Summer Place" again in that video. Was that Henry Mancini, Winterhalter?

This is great ~~ nostalgia and lots of smiles, but the 60's were sure times of change and disruption.
Memories: pleated wool skirts, cheerleading at football games, watching Ed Sullivan every Sunday, pixie haircut. First car - gas hog black Ford Fairlane convertible, 2nd car: VW Bug. On the phone for hours with girlfriends, endless fights with my Mom for *months*: why CAN'T I shave my legs?? I still have my diary with the pitiful whining.. LOL.
Nostalgia PING !
Ping!
Nostalgia
Zits, Bulllies, what did Sally say about me?, no drivers licence, homework, I'm the only one in the world sitting at home on Fri. night, AM radio only....
Yakety Yak
Coasters
Take out the papers and the trash
Or you don't get no spendin' cash
If you don't scrub that kitchen floor
You ain't gonna rock and roll no more
Yakety yak (don't talk back)
Just finish cleanin' up your room
Let's see that dust fly with that broom
Get all that garbage out of sight
Or you don't go out Friday night
Yakety yak (don't talk back)
You just put on your coat and hat
And walk yourself to the laundromat
And when you finish doin' that
Bring in the dog and put out the cat
Yakety yak (don't talk back)
Don't you give me no dirty looks
Your father's hip; he knows what cooks
Just tell your hoodlum friend outside
You ain't got time to take a ride
Yakety yak (don't talk back)
Yakety yak, yakety yak
Yakety yak, yakety yak
Yakety yak, yakety yak
Yakety yak, yakety yak

It was fun being a baby boomer... until now. Some of the artists of the 60's are revising their hits with new lyrics to accommodate aging baby Boomers.(well, not all of you are there yet- so send it or show it to your parents!)
They include:
Herman's Hermits--- Mrs.. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Walker.
Ringo Starr--- I Get By With a Little Help From Depends.
The Bee Gees--- How Can You Mend a Broken Hip.
Bobby Darin--- Splish, Splash, I Was Havin' a Flash.
Roberta Flack--- The First Time Ever I Forgot Your Face.
Johnny Nash--- I Can't See Clearly Now.
Paul Simon--- Fifty Ways to Lose Your Liver
The Commodores--- Once, Twice, Three Times to the Bathroom.
Procol Harem--- A Whiter Shade of Hair.
Leo Sayer--- You Make Me Feel Like Napping.
The Temptations--- Papa's Got a Kidney Stone.
Abba--- Denture Queen.
Tony Orlando--- Knock 3 Times On The Ceiling If You Hear Me Fall.
Helen Reddy--- I Am Woman, Hear Me Snore.
Leslie Gore--- It's My Procedure, and I'll Cry If I Want To.
And my favorite:
Willie Nelson--- On the Commode Again
Don't forget the Poodle Skirts, Woof!
Where do you get these things? This is a hoot.
Hi Bob!
I did forget Poodles skirts..
BTTT
Freedom Riders[ lunch counter sit ins[ crosses burning; Selma, Alabama; race riots in DC and Baltimore.
