I had thought we had already exhausted all the really great oldies we could have mentioned here, but I was wrong.

Imagine my delight yesterday evening when I hopped into my car, turned the key, and heard the Capris singing "There's A Moon Out Tonight" on my car radio. What a great belt-buckle-polishing slow-dance classic -- and I had completely forgotten about it! (along with all the rest of you -- no one has mentioned it on this thread yet.)

Within the next 15 minutes, I was also treated to the Five Satins' "In the Still of the Night" -- already mentioned several times here, and even "sung-along-with" via text ("sho-doben-dobey-do," etc.). Plus: the Cadillacs' uber-classic "Speedo."

I was in oldies heaven! It didn't hurt that there *was* a moon out last night -- a big, bright orange, low-on-the-horizon, full moon.
