Day 19: A song that takes you back to HS:

I most certainly could have put just about 100 different songs here and they'd have all served a similar purpose, transporting me back to some specific moment in HS or another. But this one was hit at right about the midpoint of my HS years, and while Billy Corgan is definitely a bit of a crank in his middle age, the song still hammers away but good.

Day 19: A song that takes you back to high school

Way before my high school life, but this was part of our throwback halftime show and when I hear this song I think of band camp and Friday nights, spinning and tossing up flags.

Super Freak - Rick James

Band camp..oh yea

Day 19: A song that takes you back to HS:

Though I first heard it in HS, this song will always have special meaning to me. I met a man who first came to the hospital in great pain. He knew he had cancer and also had a defeatist attitude. I talked to him one night and got more involved even though I was always instructed not to. He asked me, “What the hell can you do for me, I’m dieing?”. I made him laugh when I told him I could be his Hero. When he asked how, I started to sing this song, just to try and cheer him up. We became friends and over the months to follow he would ask me to sing it again and again. When he went into remission, he asked if I would come and sing this song at his “Remission Party”. I wound up bringing my cousin’s band and I sung this song to him with his whole family there. We are still friends today and he is cancer free. It was HIS strength that carried him through but he always gave me too much credit. I continue to sing this song to him at least every 6 months and usually over the phone. Thanks for reading. And if you only read the last line, kiss my bum.

Such a time hard rock, mixing genres, learning new things, for me lifeguarding and dancing. One style defined much.. shagging...

The Trammps, "Hold Back the Night"

Wow - that’s an amazing story and a great anecdote to positive thinking. You may have saved his life.

You’re a hero!

This song/band is so nostalgic to me.

it's one of those that I can't tell you what happened in a single episode but I've never forgotten those lyrics

I feel that way about so many cartoon themes. Their song writing chops far outstripped their script writing ones

Day 20: Song from cartoon/kids show

This coulda worked for yesterday’s prompt too. I never forget hearing this on the Fliosode fanzine, volume 1 compilation. Maybe 84ish. I do remember thinking, “ holy shit. This band is really amazing!”

It was before pop punk was a thing but this song is a great example of it.

(The TV show was way before my time, but the song was not…)

The Dickies - Gigantor

Day 20: A song from a cartoon/kids show
I'm not saying it's a good song. Only that it's catchy. I saw this episode once a long time ago and the song is still in my head.
"Krusty Krab Pizza" - Spongebob Squarepants

Day 20: A song from a cartoon or kid's TV show.

Look man, I'm of an age where nostalgia hits real hard. It's not even a question of how much I'll love something that hits the right notes, but how ridiculous I'll sound advocating it. And the Chip n' Dale: Rescue Rangers movie is so very on the sweetest of sweet spots.

There’s a an album out of 90’s bands doing covers of 60’s and 70’s cartoon theme songs that kicks so much ass. Helmet does this song on that compilation.
