Gonna have to go obscure with you guys around:

Did someone get this one?

Nostalgia for a past relationship

A little more country...a couple of ditties from the Statler Brothers about the past...

That's when a smoke was a smoke
And groovin' was groovin'
And dancin' meant everything
We were young and we were improvin'
Laughin' laughin' with our friends
Holding hands meant somethin' baby
Outside the club "Cherry Bomb"
Our hearts were really pumpin'
Say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah

Just noticed the lyrics I copied in had been changed from "that's when a smoke was a smoke " to "that's when a sport was a sport..". Seriously?

Do you remember the time, when Michael wasn't a creep and everyone loved him? We waited with baited breath for the world premier of his new videos. That's nostalgic in and of itself, but this one is specifically nostalgic.

Well, it can get you a PG-13 rating in a movie...

I can't pass up a chance to post this. Nostalgia theme is an appropriate excuse.

Wow, that's annoying revisionism. If someone's going to change the lyrics to "more acceptable," why not "that's when a joke was a joke"? At least it rhymes with the actual lyrics.

Good choice. I nominate you as our Minister of Lyrical Revisionism.

Don't think this one's been posted yet. Been holding off but someone has to do it.

This doesn't seem to be the version I remember but Slim was usually good:

You got it first but Mary Hopkin > Carroll O'Connor.

This song was powerful for the time. Shocking with we are now.


I forgot that they recorded the song in Russian:

CCR: Born on The Bayou

This is the version I remember.

This one goes right for the nostalgia jugular, Christmas trees!!


When I was small and Christmas trees were tall
We used to love while others used to play
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by

Someone else moved in from far away
Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small
And you don't ask the time of day
