The year "You're So Vain", it...Mary,<br /><br />The year "You're So Vain", it played at a neighborhood kid's bday party. He was only two years older than me but I remember feeling like a little kid. Two of my best buddies went to the party more or less as uninvited guests. We stuck around the back of the house and watched the older kids playing Post Office. lol "You Light Up My Light" did get played a lot but I loved it. Every time I hear it now I always wonder what became of Debby Boone. I always felt this song was a love song but I certainly understand Debby's interpretation of the lyrics, though. The Village People was crazy fun band and every time I hear "Y.M.C.A" it gets me to my feet. What fun!!<br /><br /><a href="http://curiousasacathy.com/2017/04/aprila2z-art-sketching-through-the-alphabet-y/" rel="nofollow">Art Sketching Through the Alphabet "Y" (Yawn)</a>Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056276734145310231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221369581989798825.post-3213318597195627782017-04-30T23:45:38.504-04:002017-04-30T23:45:38.504-04:00"You Light Up My Life" did get so overpl..."You Light Up My Life" did get so overplayed that I don't think it ever gets played anymore on the radio--I haven't heard it in decades over the airwaves. Though not that long ago I did listen to it on YouTube and enjoyed hearing it again. I think it's a nice song. Just about anything can get played to death.<br /><br />Arlee Bird<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221369581989798825.post-91671260672259319202017-04-30T11:43:18.764-04:002017-04-30T11:43:18.764-04:00so many awesome songs here yes I was born in the 7...so many awesome songs here yes I was born in the 70s and between my mother and my sister music has dominated my life from beginning to now <br />come see us at http://shopannies.blogspot.comannies homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14583996787641143024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221369581989798825.post-65989117350148388052017-04-30T09:56:58.021-04:002017-04-30T09:56:58.021-04:00Good stuff!Good stuff!Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08000518512016364412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221369581989798825.post-30570617110232179012017-04-29T23:33:38.556-04:002017-04-29T23:33:38.556-04:00Thanks, Marie!

And I thought I read about a year or two ago that Carly Simon had finally stated that the song was really primarily about David Geffen. But then I could be misremembering that the way I misremember 1981-1984.<br /><br />So... no Bee Gees for letter Z? You're really gonna leave me here without one more Bee Gees song? <b>[;o)}</b><br /><br />Well, then how about Tiny Tim? -- Billboard be damned.<br /><br />~ D-FensDogG<br />[Link:) <b><a href="http://stephentmccarthyreviews.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Stephen T.

Can't count how many times, in the years I went to a water aerobics class at our local YMCA, I exercised to the song "YMCA". To think that their initial reaction was something quite different makes me chuckle.The Unknown Journey Aheadhttp://agingonthespectrum.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
