Just beautiful. Still. Written by Paul McCartney and given as a gift to a friend. And that is beautiful. Still.

THE HIT: Down At LuLu's

This is it. The song that turned me into a hit-person 

and began my life of crime. Really, someone ought to do a study on how a person with my sister's IQ could listen to something like this over and over. There must be some sort of reverse transverse of inverse cognition at work. Indeed. One could start with biographical and psychological profiles of Tommy James and the Ohio Express, they seem to be heavily involved.

In retrospect . . . it does have a good beat. Also in retrospect, I suppose that someone who spent hours dancing in public to Tom Nelson and the Logan High School Pep Band playing "Windy" too fast and slightly off key, hasn't got a lot of room to throw rocks.

Super Sugar Shock!

HERE IT IS!

The ultimate, worst

Super-sugar Bubblegum Song of All Time . . . 

YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY

I'VE GOT LOVE IN MY TUMMY

Very likely the worst "Bubble Gum" song of them all. Prepare yourself for Super Sugar Shock!!

HAPPY TOGETHER ~ The Turtles

HAPPY TOGETHER

This one is actually mine. I'm including it because my sister liked it to begin with, 

and then stoically endured it again and again for a LONG time. 

A little embarrassing, actually, considering what happened to

'Down at LuLu's'

Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind?

Lizzie loved this song. It was that line about getting "distracted by her older sister." In truth, this never happened. We had an unbreakable pact that we never dated the same guys. If one of us had been out with someone he was forever off limits to the other one. It was a small town, but it still was a very good idea. It was OK for her to enjoy the song, I said, it was only a theory.
