Personally I loved "The Night Chicago Died".

However I remember "Seasons in the Sun" from hearing it on the school bus driver's radio and it made me absolutely nauseous. I didn't usually have strong opinions about music when I was eight.

It's true. I am just as much of a hideous monster in real life as I am on the threads.

Aren't I, my people?

You forgot to add...(drumroll).. Barry Manilow: Ohhhh, Mandy....

At my junior high I couldn't help but wonder if "Oh Mandy" was the unofficial school anthem. Every time we had an assembly the choir would sing it.

True.

Sorry, pissy, it's a family affair now.

Paul Williams creeped me out when I was a kid. I had nightmares about him. Seriously.

I loved Three's Company too! No shame in that. If you ask me, MOST people are just closet fans.

"Rhinestone Cowboy"

I still remember that Saturday afternoon when the old gang got together on a street corner and (when a car slowed down for a turn) holler out the lyrics in unison.

I still enjoy it. I now get the humor that went over my head as a kid.

Even I had it, and I'm a girl. She was my idol. I confess, I have watched a few episodes of "Chasing Farrah".

My husband says that he always preferred Jaclyn Smith, even when he was a kid.

BTW, my husband bought the Farrah issue of Playboy when that came out in the 90's. He still marvels at the size of her headlights. YIKES!

I would agree with him, but she didn't have a poster with quite that quality back then......
