Sky Rockets In Flight

[crazydiamondsue]

Okay, I just got some feedback that stated I was the "fookin coolest person ever." Here's my rebuttal:

When I was like, seven or so, my parents used to take us to a non-chain pizza place with the best juke box ever. I'd beg for quarters to play one song over and over and the first time I ever heard it on the radio I was stock-still with joy. That song, my friends, was "Afternoon Delight" by the Starland Vocal Band. Now you all know how freakin' old I am...'cause this around 1978 or so (and yes, I was wearing a bright yellow Shaun Cassidy t-shirt while I was playing this song.) Anyway, I had *no* idea the song was about gettin' in a nooner. I just liked the "sky rockets in flight" line. So I just went to itunes to download it, and the only version they had was the Will Ferrell cover from "Anchorman," which makes it even fuckin' cooler. So I downloaded it.

And there's my rebuttal about why the words "coolest" and "ever" should never be used in conjuction with me.

Dude.
That song kicks ASS.
My sister and i would listen to Casey Kasem's Top 40 on the radio and we had this little cassette recorder - you know, the big square ones? And we'd record our favorite songs and listen to them over and over and yeah, that was one of them!!
And 'Dreamweaver' and 'Thunder Island', and...
Hee.

As much as I love the internet and being able to download songs (and don't get me wrong - I do) it's kind of sad for kids who came of age in the past 15 years, 'cause they're never going to know what it's like to hear the first bars of your favorite song on the radio, fly across the room at a dead run to hit the record button, so that you have a version that goes like: "...osed my eyes again, climbed aboard the dream weaver train...........I believe we can reach the morning light - Hey B-98 fans, that's Gary Wright with 'Dream Weaver' and speaking of dreams, Mattress World has a sale this weekend..."
I'm reading Changes. I'm supposed to be checking immunization records for students. Don't tell!

Hee.
I know! We'd always have to rewind and try and cut off the chatter at the end... Oh, those were the days!!
