All of the hits on that list are from 1963?
Wow!
The music back then was indeed beautiful... it was soulful and heartfelt. Compare it to most of what pollutes the airwaves today... never mind.. there IS no comparison.
“Tie Me Kangaroo Down”
Man, we sang that song all summer. It must have driven mom and dad nuts.
Man, ain’t that the list! Just about the time I got my first little 6 transistor portable radio, age 12, nothing sounded finer in life!
no twerking going on in those videos. fairly benin lyrics, which you could actually understand, no derisciveness....it was indeed a different time.
most of these performers, when on tv, wore suits or dresses. hardly any skin was shown. Shindig might have been pushing it for back in the day, but overall, you’d let you’re kids watch or listen to 90% of these songs.
puff the magic dragon might be the only questionable song on the list due to the nature of the lyrics. but other than that, pretty much good to go.
how far we’ve fallen.
Didn't Prep H use this song in an ad?
Recognized pretty much each one!
Song #35 (”If you wanna be happy...”) explains why Barack married Michelle.
