The Salvation Army band played
And the children drank lemonade
And the morning lasted all day, all day
And through an open window came
Like Sinatra in a younger day
Pushing the town away, oh
Ah hey ma ma mommy doo-din-nie-ya
Ah hey ma ma ma hey-y-yah
Life in a northern town
Ah hey ma ma ma ma
They sat on the stoney ground
And he took a cigarette out
And everyone else came down to listen
He said in winter 1963
It felt like the world would freeze
With John F. Kennedy
And The Beatles

Can't believe this hasn't been posted yet, they're like America's band!
Of course, I have a Barbara Mandrell entry for this week's thread. 
"I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool" was written for Barbara by the songwriting team that wrote many of her biggest hits (Kye Fleming and Dennis Morgan). She recorded it for her "Live" album in 1981 and it went to #1 in Billboard on July 4th of that year. The song features an uncredited George Jones on the back end. It was nominated for CMA Single of the Year that fall (losing to "Elvira"), helped her win an (at the time) unprecedented second CMA Entertainer of the Year award, and became the most recognizable recording of her career.

Twenty years now
Where'd they go?
Twenty years
I don't know
I sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they've gone
And sometimes late at night
Oh, when I'm bathed in the firelight
The moon comes callin' a ghostly white
And I recall
I recall
Where'd they go?

Seems like I post this one about every month or so on these threads. It sure fits here!
This is one of my favorite White Stripes songs, so I'm certain I've used it in other Thursday/Friday threads:
Rilo Kiley is good at nostalgia:
Sort of happy (it's more favorable than "Glory Days," anyway):

I was just listening to this the other day and thought "man, that's sounds like a fun day"...
Had to include this:
