You're right Bill

Why limit it to the 70's. Wayne's World would've sucked without the song.
Furthermore...where have you been?! It's good to see ya.

70's?

Why limit this song to the 70's? Has there ever been a better song than this one? And if by chance there is then it was probably by Queen also.

I don't get it

I didn't get to see a pic on here or anything. I remember the platform shoes, since I was so short I liked that part. Then we had the big bell bottom pants with the cuffs. Pants usually fit tight. The silky shirtst with the 8 - 10 inch elastic waistband (I forget what they called them)m but they were always half unbuttoned. Also the 70's is when they started the sweat suits. The bottoms matched the tops. I didn't have the one piece leisure suit though. Then there was the swim suits we wore thanks to Mark Spitz. Next time you get a chance watch one of the movies with basketball in it and look how short the basketball shorts were. Which reminds me ...When did hockey players start wearing facemasks? In the 70's they didn't wear facemasks they wore false teeth. Teh thing I remembered the most was getting a digital watch. It wasn't like what we have today. It had the numbers painted on a wheel and as it turned it changed the number in the little window. One wheel was for hours and another for minutes. LOL

2525 or 1985?

I am still new here so I have a reason for late replies. Zager and Evans sang In the year 2525. The song that seemed like what will happen then was a song by Paul McCartney and Wings Called 1985.

I'm sooooo excited!!!!

concert!!!!! I think Bill and I were the only two who knew every word to every song that Little Big Town sang, except for Boondocks, everyone there knew that one! And my God, what a set of pipes on that Martina McBride chick......she is just amazingly powerful!!!!

I woke up Sunday morning with a sore throat and worrying that I was getting sick....till I remembered I had been singing and screaming at the top of my lungs the night before!

Melissa - I am soooo with you on the lip gloss song too. Has life really gotten that shallow that people can't make up songs about anything else but Chicken Noodle Soup and Lip Gloss? Give me a break! And then people wonder why I don't listen to the radio anymore. UGH!

I absolutely agree.

I hate that dumb Chicken Noodle Song. My daughter (Gina) likes rock/punk/goth. My older son (Alex) likes the hip hop and that dumb song. My younger son (Eric) like everything, especially rock and oldies. He can get down with some Temptations! LOL

Sheesh, Clint

do I have to CYA every time? Don't you remember? These horses were happily carrousing around on a mesa in New Mexico, when they were abducted by aliens for their Alien Rodeo. But the aliens had trouble with their craft and crashed on Mt. Everest! Fortunately, the horses survived, but they have no way to get down from that moutain. Plus they haven't eaten in 4 days, so they are really hungry! Maybe some of your chocolate covered cherry cheesecake would help them.

Does anyone know this song

Does anyone know this song "In the year 2525 If man is still alive If woman can survive....." I think it was probably 1969 or 70 but since I was born in 1970 it was like 70's music to me. I loved that song but it scared the CRAP out of me as a kid.

worst song

First...this is supposed to be about 70s music. Bad Teeth

Second...country music sucks...

Third...the song of all genres that I personally hate the most...and I am probably going to get at least one person that says, "I LOVE THAT SONG!"....but I hate it....and that is, "Christmas Shoes"

I thought it was like a four year old singing those stupid lyrics...to this day that song irritates the heck out of me. But I have to admit I do love some country...Carrie Underwood, and Rascal Flatts are my all time favorites.

Boston

Graduating in 79 some of the music we listened to in high school were:

Boston
Led Zepplin
Ted Nugent
Nazareth - Hair of the Dog
Kansas
Blackfoot
Blue Oyster Cult
Foghat
Sweet
Hall & Oates
REO Speedwagon
The list goes on...

And when my dad was sober enough to pick me up on a Saturday for the Day, I got to listen to Freddy Fender the whole way home. YIPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEE (I could blow chunks just thinking about it) Probably why I hate country music to this day (such depressing music).

I can picture the 8 tracks and 8 track player (with headphones (the real big ones back then))sitting on the shelf above my bed at the Milt. Those were the days, get stoned and go to your room and listen to music. Oh the 70's.
