Enjoy all you who are 60 and older.
I swear...I have been down on technology, but having all this music at your fingertips at any time is the technological advance of the age!!!!!!!
Do you know that if you play I Am Woman backwards, it sounds like “Paul likes bread”?
Thank you! A great video with all the requisite long hair and clothing. A really nice tune that never gets old. Thank you.

Heh, I had a friend for years who thought the lyrics to the Golden Earring song: "When The Bullet Hits The Bone" were "When the bullet hits the phone"!!!
A 2013 article with some background on the band:
I was more into the Thin Lizzy version.
The Bullet Hits The Bone” were “When the bullet hits the phone”!!!

How about ‘Brown Eyed Girl’ turned into ‘Round Eyed Girl’ (Which made a whole lot of sense in SE Asia in 1967+).
Of course, Brown eye didn’t always just mean an eye color. (If you know, you know)<: <: <:
Background on the lyricist, Sherman Kelly:
I was born in 1943 in Washington D.C. but grew up outside of Boston where my father was a Professor of city planning. I was one of 5 siblings in the Kelly family. I had 2 brothers and 2 sisters. The Kelly household was constantly filled with music. Everyone played the piano and some played other instruments. We were fortunate to be influenced by a rich and eclectic combination of music, including Jazz, Calypso, Blues, Afro-Cuban, South American, South African, and of course, a wide range of classical music.
My mother studied piano at the New England Conservatory and wanted me to study classical piano at the age of 6. I preferred other endeavors and stopped playing after a couple of years. At age 15, an older friend taught me some blues and boogie woogie and I began to play music by ear.
During High School and later at Cornell University, I started playing keyboards in Rock & Roll bands. My first band was the “Oz & Ends” in Ithaca NY. I graduated Cornell in 1967 with a BA in Psychology and English. I also studied at Alliance Francaise in Paris, and at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland. I also attended the New School For Social Research in New York City.
I played in a couple of other bands in the Caribbean in 1967 through 1969. One of the bands was named “The Iguana Gulch Blues Band”. My close friend Alex Brooks set up a club, “The Minor Key room” at the St. Thomas club. One of the bands, “Chin”, was the first electrified band to play on the island of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. At that time, a former housemate of mine, the famous conjurer and actor Ricky Jay, who’s also the greatest living “slight of hand” artist, blew the audience away with his magic.
On a trip to St. Croix in 1969, I was the first victim of a vicious St. Croix gang who eventually murdered 8 American tourists. At that time, I suffered multiple facial fractures and wounds and was left for dead. While I was recovering, I wrote “Dancin In The Moonlight” in which I envisioned an alternate reality, the dream of a peaceful and joyful celebration of life. The song became a huge hit and was recorded by many musicians worldwide. “Dancin In The Moonlight” continues to be popular to this day.

The Great Chris Rea. Not many know that he's one of the best blues guitarists around. His "Road to Hell" album is phenomenal. Sadly, he's not in the best of health these days.
