OT Forgotton old music

Got one of those bargain bin CDs over the weekend with some songs that I had
not thought about in a long time. Anyone who grew up in the 60s and 70s
remember some of these long forgotten songs on the CD.

1) The Streak (Ray Stevens) Brings back memories of Junior High when a
streaker ran by the window of my math class in 1974.
2) Spiders & Snakes (Jim Stafford) John is that your bro. )
3) When You're Hot (Jerry Reed) Pretty funny song if you listen to the
lyrics)
4) Dead Skunk (Loundon Wainwright III A station wagen kills a Skunk and it
stinks)
5) Convoy (C.W. Mcall) Brings back memories of all the vans with the murals
and a CB antenna on them in the mid 70s.
6) Troglodyte(Cave Man) (The Jimmy Castor Bunch) A song about how men got
women way back in the cave man days. They pulled them by the hair.

We had a streaker go by the outside of all the screwele busses in '74. We
had quite a few busses at DHS back then. The guy looked a little bit like
the idiot in That 70's Show.

I'm a bit young for those except Convoy and The Streak. I think I must know
every Ray Stevens song he ever did. I have a favorite line from one of his
songs that I say all the damn time. "I used to be crazy, but I'm a whole lot
better now!... Where's my horse?!"
Good for getting people to threaten to Baker Act your ass.

The Elvis song? I have that. Jan and I bought a CD of Elvis hits but
unfortunately it was missing some of the really good ones, like Don't (which
fortunately I have the MP3 of) and Blue Suede Shoes.
My favorite is Suspicious Minds. He also did a really good cover of the Frank
Sinatra song "My Way".
I listen to a lot of Miles Davis, Billie Holiday and Elvis. In between the
Pantera, White Zombie and Black Sabbath, of course.

And I remember when Dad first broadcast Red Sovine's "Teddy Bear" on his
radio station. Do you remember "Phantom 309"?

Darin Bobby - Honey Lyrics

See the tree how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it, it was just a twig
Then the first snow came
And she ran out to brush the snow away so it wouldn't die
Came running in all excited slipped and almost hurt herself
And I laughed 'til I cried
She was always young at heart
Kind of dumb and kind of smart
And I loved her so
And I surprised her with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago
And it would sure embarrass her when I came in from working late
Cos' I would know
That she'd been sitting there a crying
Over some sad and silly late late show
And Honey I miss you
And I'm being good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could
She wrecked the car and she was sad
And so afraid that I'd be mad
But what the heck
Though I pretended hard to be
Yes you could say she saw through me
And hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly
And caught her crying needlessly
In the middle of the day
And It was in the early spring
When flowers bloom and robins sing
She went away
And Honey I miss you
And I'm being good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could
One day when I was not at home
While she was there and all alone
Angels came
Now all I have are memories of Honey
And I wake at nights and call her name
Now my life's an empty stage
Where Honey lived and Honey played
And love grew up
And a small cloud passes over head
And cries down on the flowerbed
That Honey loved
And see the tree how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it it was just a twig

Between little crippled kids and Honey dying, you guys are just depressing.

I'll stick to Elvis' goofy lyrics about itchy fuzzy trees.
