How DID We Survive?- Page 12

I never cared for Erik Estrada. I was more of a Larry Wilcox fan when it came to CHiPs. Actually, I didn't care much for the show at all, but that and The Dukes of Hazzard were my brother's favorites. He never missed them. He had a poster of Catherine Bach in his room. I've always wondered why 18-wheeler trucks were so popular in the late 70s.

Hey Mister Matt...did you ever hear of Bubble Gum Digest??? It seems to have been a Chicago show back in the 70's I believe.

Here's a song to get stuck in all your heads...

First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
But I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to carry on
and so you're back
from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed my stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
you'd be back to bother me

Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as i know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive

It took all the strength I had
not to fall apart
kept trying hard to mend
the pieces of my broken heart
and I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
Now I hold my head up high
and you see me
somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
still in love with you
and so you felt like dropping in
and just expect me to be free
now I'm saving all my loving
for someone who's loving me

That song Rath became an Athem for all break ups. I remember going to clubs and watching people dancing and screaming it at the tops of their lungs..very funny.

My friends and I screamed it, too, but with some changed wording. I changed words to songs alot back then.

My Mom always made up words to songs...or she sang words like they sounded....my favorite was Andy Gibbs song...which she believed began...."False alarm, you and me have been finding each other, False Alarm."

I had a boyfriend that looked like Donny Osmond-very clean cut and handsome in that antiseptic way. And BOY was it fun for this new york jew to flip him on his stomach and... well, you can fill in the rest!

My mother always sings along (an 1/8th sharp) to songs on the radio - RIGHT behind the singer...because she doesn't actually know the lyrics. Which she denies vehemently. She also thinks she's quite a good singer and that I got my talent from her...completely ignoring all the wonderful singing voices on my father's side.

Hi Kids!

I'm so glad that this thread is healthy and prospering!

Boobs - My Mom loved (!) Lawrence Welk, too. His show was on every week in our home.

Do you all remember Guy Lombardo (of New Year's Eve fame)? Just about every year during the 70s, we would drive from Atlanta back "home" to visit relatives (Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Uncles, Aunts, Cousins...) in New York. Every summer, Grandmother would treat the entire family to a show at Jones Beach Amphitheatre. Back then, they had summer stock musicals (not rock concerts) and I remember getting my first exposure to Oklahoma, Fiddler on The Roof, Annie Get Your Gun (with Luci Arnaz), Damn Yankees (with Joe Namath - he was not much of a singer)... It was tons of fun. Guy Lombardo would always start the show off by driving up between the stage and the seating area in his speedboat to welcome the audience. Afterwards, we would go into the tent next to Amphitheatre and dance to the sounds of his orchestra. Can you imagine all these little kids learning how to waltz to Guy Lombardo??!! It was a lot of fun! Looking back, I cherish those memories.

Rath that sounds so familiar. My Mom used to wink at my friends and say.."watch him get upset...and sing louder"...I miss those days.

Ha, midtown! I also had a boyfriend who looked like Donnie Osmond only with a chipped front tooth (very sexy in a strange way) only it was he who flipped me. Having DO do you--kinky!

Hey Jungle....I remember Guy Lombardo very well...my grandfather made us watch him every New Years Eve...Laughed when they sang "Enjoy Yourself...It's later than you think" because they would sing it every year and you can see them getting older and older...another favorite of mine that they would do every year is..."Goody,Goody".

Yeah, they just mention it at the end as an after thought.

FOOTSIE!!! That's the thing SOMMS mentioned a page or so back that you put around your ankle with the ball thingy on the end of the rope thingy. I couldn't think of the name of it. I knew what he was talking about, and my mind was blank. The clackers brought it out. Thanks, Boobs!

[Broadwayboobs]

I had purple glass ones Girly.

Jungle..I still have that 45 too. The name of the group was like Lighthouse...right?

The title of this thread reminds me of that Sound of Music song from the actual musical....

Little OT, but this is the board for that.

[junglered]

Posted: 1/26/05 at 12:37pm

Yup - 2 points for Boobs! - the Edison Lighthouse - part of the early 70s bubblegum factory!

"She ain't got no money
Her clothes are kinda funny
Her hair is kinda wild and free
Oh, but Love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me..."

Thanks girl! Footsie. Did anybody ever try to do footsie while doing clackers?

Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes reminds me of 'Wendy.' 'Wendy... when i'm with you something you do... ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba...' Let's just live in 1970!
