It's amazing how many of these references I was aware of, even though these were not from my era. Many are still my favorite songs I prefer to what they played on the radio in the 80s through today. Nicely done.
I doubt it could be the same with the music of today. All those songs were special, and so were many, many more. And what a clever way to make one remember.
I'd love to see a collage of the 1980 songs. I just don't have the wit to do it myself, although maybe I should try. I certainly couldn't write a tune, though. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
I don;t even know what my generations was called, if anything. But I did enjoy the read, but My song since the 1st grade is: My heart goes where the Wild Goose Goes. Love you but at times wonder about your mind???? ;-) Sherry, jack & JJ in Amarillo, TX heading East.
Hi. I just saw this post and thank you for including the YouTube link with my melody. When I first saw the meme (and I am from the Baby Boomer generation) it cried out to me for a melody so I wrote one.

DeleteSo many wonderful songs are ever gentle on my mind.
ReplyDeleteSame here.

ReplyDeleteWhat could be done with the 90s? Of this milennia?
DeleteClever. And memory triggering.
ReplyDeleteThe Hokey Pokey caught me by surprise.
DeleteMy life musically...
ReplyDeleteIt fits perfectly with your life!
DeleteHa! That was cool and definitely a great way to remember some music from way back when. :)
ReplyDeleteThe words bring back so many thoughts.
DeleteVery cool, I love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a well crafted poem.

ReplyDeletethey bring out so much emotion when we connect one song to the other.

I didn't write this clever combo of famous lines, but wish I had! My mind wanders where it will.
DeleteA very clever combination of all those lyrics.
ReplyDeletethe lines flow together so nicely.
DeleteLove it!! The lyrics are smart and clever!
ReplyDelete"Uncle Joe" is declared the writer, but that is not known for certain.
DeleteFun, isn't it!
ReplyDeleteVery clever. My generation's would be different, for sure. I think every generation's would be fun to look at, though.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what songs could be sliced and diced, put to such clever manner.
DeleteHELP ... I need somebody ...
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Loved it! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLittle did they know that my generation would say that so meaningfully.
ReplyDeleteNice! i like that compilation. :)
ReplyDeletePretty incredible.
