Good times.
One of my favorites ever.
Very evocative — whenever I heard it I could picture a bunch of groovy people laughing, drinking and dancing == in the moonlight.
This song paints the perfect word picture.
very big smile
‘73?? OMG, I feel real old right now. I was dancing to this in High School. (Still love the song though).
Thanks! I had forgotten this one.
Had a major mispent youth. I played guitar for a biker band. Hooked up with a lady who taught me some things. This song rocks me.
IIRC, the flip side of the 45 was “Marty and the Captain”.
One of the first records I recall owning. I don’t think my kids would recognize the plastic adapter for running those 45s on a phonograph.
Oh well, for my dad it was probably ice tongs or something like it.
Good song, good memories.
Thanks, Old Yeller.
Mine too
Yup a classic and fav on my youtube favorites list.
Almost as good as these songs are the comments on youtube.
They make me both happy and sad at the same time.
I miss the old days...
I appreciate these song threads. Amazing how certain pop songs bring back very specific memories and how you can go decades without hearing a certain song but when you do hear it again, you can name it on the first few notes. I guess I’m one of the older ones because I remember this song very well. Definitely a summer song and I remember having my windows open on hot nights and hearing the backyard parties that my neighbors were throwing, with the chinese lanterns, loud music and everybody having a good time.
