DO YOU REMEMBER...

[Arden]

Heh....should have stayed with my original answer for #1!!!

Started second guessing thinking "Nah, Kookie was too cool to borrow someome HIS comb"

Now what was the lyrics of the song that played on intro?

"77 Sunset Strip" by Mack David and Jerry Livingston

"You meet the high brow and the hipster
The starlet and the phony tipster
You meet most every kind of guy and gal
Including a private eye!"

KOOKIE, KOOKIE (LEND ME YOUR COMB)
Edward Byrnes & Connie Stevens


CONNIE: Kookie, Kookie, lend me your comb. Kookie, Kookie?
EDWARD: Well now, let's take it from the top & grab some wheels
& on the way we'll talk about some cuckoo deals.
C: But Kookie, Kookie, lend me your comb. Kookie, Kookie?

E: Now you're on the way, miss, & I'm readin' you just fine.
Don't cut out of here till we get on Cloud 9.
C: But Kookie?

E: I've got smog in my noggin ever since you made the scene
C: You're the utmost!
E: If you ever tool me out...dead, I'm the saddest, like a brain
C: The very utmost. Kookie, lend me your comb. Kookie, Kookie?

E: Man, I got my bruise lighters in my flapsy-colored pen
You're gonna send me to that planet called...you know it, baby, the end!

(sax solo)

C: Kookie, Kookie, lend me your comb. Kookie, Kookie?
E: If you ever cut out, you might be a stray cat
'Cause when I'm flyin' solo, nowhere's we're on that!
C: Kookie, Kookie, lend me your comb. Kookie, Kookie?

E: What's with this comb caper, baby? Why do you wanna latch up with my comb?
C: I just want you to stop combing your hair...& kiss me. You're
the maximum utmost.
E: Well, I beans & I dreams goin', I'm movin' right now
'Cause that's the kind of scene that I dig...baby, you're the
ginchiest!

I didn't read the whole thread so this may be in here somewhere...

Home perms that your mother used to give you...good lord what was mom thinking?? And of coarse along with the wonderful home perm came the bangs that were about 2 inches to short, and of coarse this was always just in time for the school pictures.

My first Bob Dylan album...

http://orad.dent.kyushu-u.ac.jp/dylan/img/timescha_s.jpg

THE TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGIN'
(Bob Dylan)

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

I remember riding in my fathers car in ][COL1955... in the rumble seat.


The rumble seat was around in the 1930's, my dad just happened to still have one in the 50's.

 

[manofsteel52]

I remember paying 30 cents a gallon for gas.
A nickel for a small coke, ten cents for an ice cream cone.
35 cents for a pack of cigarettes.
15 cents for a fast food burger (before Macs)
Glass packs & wide ovals.

I remember believing in government.
Hell, I remember believing in people.

Thanks for the distraction, that will always be one of their best albums, Flight420. Loved some of their early stuff too... it evokes a time when things in life were so simple - even if they didn't feel that way then.

I think I'll go see if I can conjure up any of the songs on Napster. I'd love to hear the drums on "Tusk" right now.

Edit - no luck. The version Napster has doesn't even compare to the album version.

I remember riding in my fathers car in 1955... in the rumble seat.

My parents had a huge black Oldsmobile, probably circa 1951 or so, that we kept until about 1963 or '64. No rumble seat though, I must have been a deprived child lol. I can remember stretching out in the back seat when I was about 5 and remembering how the seat seemed a big as a sofa.

My Mom (whose gone now) didn't learn to drive until I was 4 years old. I remember going with her to take her drivers test, and seeing JFK campaign posters on the streetlight poles. I liked him because I thought he was cute. *grin* I took the test with her, and I got to take mine home. The paper blew out of my hand when we left and I was devastated...

Getting our first TV, the size of a washing machine, B&W, with a screen that measured about 9" diagonal, in 1959.

I've got it on cassette....somewhere. I remember when I'd have crawled 10 miles on my knees to spend a night with Stevie Nicks.

Mom playing Chubby Checkers, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong....
on LP's. Heh, where I got my blues and jazz roots.

Days and nights when anyone cold walk the street and feel safe.

When you trusted someone for their handshake.

When love feels like it does now.

DREAM LOVER ~ Bobby Darin
(Bobby Darin)

Every night I hope and pray
A dream lover will come my way
A girl to hold in my arms
And know the magic of her charms
'Cause I want a girl to call my own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone

Dream lover, where are you
With a love, oh, so true?
And I hand that can hold,
To feel you near as I grow old?
'Cause I want a girl to call my own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone

Someday, I don't know how,
I hope she'll hear my plea
Some way, I don't know how,
She'll bring her love to me

Dream lover, until then,
I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do,
Till all my lover's dreams come true
'Cause I want a girl to call my own
I want a dream lover so
I don't have to dream alone

Please don't make me dream alone
I beg you don't make me dream alone

No, I don't wanna dream...

 

[Arden]

Dream lover, where are you
With a love, oh, so true?
And I hand that can hold,
To feel you near as I grow old?
'Cause I want a girl to call my own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone


You don't have to dream alone
