    really good times I encountered after leaving school

    Stav,
    
    That sounds like a list of your favourites. My list is the ones that I
    remember most & can relate back to my youth.
    Some of them are crap & were so at the time, but when I hear them being
    played on the radio now, I can instantly relate to them & can almost
    remember exactly what I was doing at the time, where I was, who I was
    with etc....

    OH CM!!!  You just brough back some huge memories!
    
    
    Color My World....Only this version is by Ray Toronto and John DeFiore.
    (My dad and the flute player in his band.)  Ray would play it on the
    flute, and my dad would sing it to me.  It would happen at The Powder
    Mill Restaurant in Maynard, where my dad's band played every saturday
    night.  THey'd get a chair, sit  me in the middle of the dance floor,
    and play it just for me.  It was my very most favorite song in the
    whole world!  Then Ray would give me his flute, and I'd play the last
    part of the song myself!  Oh, I miss those days SO SO SO SO much!

Ahem... I was playing Color My World back then as well... Hmmm... I don't like
how this is shaping up. I used to play the flute solo at the beginning of
Stairway to Heaven because it was before the bass came in.

Another couple of songs that brings back my youth (at least my band days) were
Sympathy for the Devil - Rolling Stones and Doctor My Eyes - Jackson Brown. I
remember a concert on the common in South Hadley where we played and we were
asked to play them 3 times that day.

I never thought it was the OLD part of Dirty Old Man I was being accused of 8^)
247.16AYRPLN::VENTURAMake the world your playground.Thu Sep 15 1994 20:2210
    The previous two replies reminded me of another song that definitely
    reminds me of my youth.  Why?  Because my mother used to sing it all
    the time.
    
    "What a wonderful World"... Not sure who it's by, but every time I hear
    that song, I get all choked up (not because of my mother, but because
    it's such a beautiful song).

247.17GAVEL::JANDROWPartly to Mostly Blonde...Thu Sep 15 1994 21:3416
    
    well...songs that i remember when i was a pup that bring back good
    memories...
      when i was really little, i remember singing "Play That Funky Music"
      while running done the street to my friend's house...of course, no
      knowing any better at the time, I didn't say "Funky"...
      when i moved to the town that i graduated high school from i remember 
      dancing around my empty room to "Oh Micky" by Tony Basil...
      i remember going camping and hearing "White Lines" a lot...
      and anything by donna summer...

    Not sure of the name of the song, but it's "They're coming to take me

    always tell them "Wooly Bully". Last year I found the 45 in a used
    music store and bought it for my wife on our 20th anniversary. The flip
    side was "Little Red Riding Hood" I love it!

	re: the doors, people are strange


	yeah, good tune!

	"People are strange
	when you're a stranger
	faces seem ugly 
	when you're alone.
	Women seem wicked
	when you're unwanted
	streets are lonely
	when you're down...

	When you're strange
	faces come out in the rain
	when you're strange
	when you're straaaaannnggee...."

    Song that reminds me of my youth......
    
    
    
    Roxanne, you don't have to turn on the red light...
    Roxanne, you don't have to wear that dress tonight..
    Those days are over, you don't have to sell your body to the night.
    
    
    Now, wait a minute, it doesn't remind me of how I lived my youth,
    it just brings back memories.  :*)
