Hey,I was searching around youtube and I found a song that my father played incessantly during my childhood:

The song features Rev. Julius Cheeks on lead vocals and is from the "Songs of Praise" LP. This album contains great "old-time" Gospel and I strongly recommend it to the Gospel heads out there. Please add on.Peace,Big Stacks from Kakalak

    My grandpops used to take me to this Fish n' Chips joint(R.I.P.) on Clement St. and they had a jukebox. I just remember being a little kid tearing up video games to this song everytime I went there. Kiling it on Kung-Fu and R-Type. Plus the Fish and Chips was bomb.



    Second piece of vinyl my mom gave me.

    Remember when MTV dropped? Back when it was a cable channel that only a few people had?

    around the time I was 8 years old I got a clock radio and these 2 songs were played on constant rotation and became my favorites...also there was a pizza place my family and I frequented often called Fox Ridge Pizza...and my pop would give me money for the jukebox and I played these songs constantly...still love these songs

    We had just gotten cable and this was on heavy rotation on MTV at the time. I've never purchased this song or had a jones to hear it, but when I do it always takes me back to that time.

    MTV was crazy back then. They would have those weird station ID tidbits that were straight up avant garde.

    I've already posted this before, but it bears repeating now...this was a Levi's jeans ad from 1972 that used to have me bopping and laughing all the time. It was so popular (ran for years) that I'm surprised no one tried to make it a hit single, on some "Like To Teach The World To Sing" steez:

    I am very familiar with the Fendermen's version (even though I heard the Levi's commercial first). With all due respect to Jimmie Rodgers (who wrote/sang it originally), the Fendermen's is by far THE best version of "Mule Skinner Blues" by anybody...

    a few months ago a friend of my had the day off and ended up coming to dallas. he called me up at work to see if i wanted to meet up with him at, of all places, a tommy bahama. that's not my style, but it is two blocks from where i work, so i told him i'd meet him there. when i got there he was in the dressing room, so the dude at the store started talking to me. asking what i was up to, etc. i told him i was skipping out on work to meet up with a friend. a few minutes later my friend come out of the dressing room, and we start talking. the dude who works at the store comes up behind us and says, "i see what's going on. you guys are gonna get a little 'afternoon delight!."

    my friend bought a $50 pair of flip-flops with lobsters on them.

    I used to watch this music show with my older brother every saturday afternoon named "Formel 1". This was way before there were private TV stations in Germany and this was the only show where you could see music videos at all on german TV. I must have been 5 or 6 years old when I first saw this and I loved that song and the moves all these people made.



    I kept singing this in imitated fantasy english for weeks: "Heyju serack teddy kuh..."This must have been exactly when the breakdance craze in Germany started but I had no idea what that was. My brother later bought that LP for me and I still have it.
