Subject: RE: Songs from Our Teens From: Craig Date: 01 Aug 99 - 08:29 PM An AM station here in Southern Cal. would sign off with an obscure instrumental called Samoa by a guy named Dick Podolor. I keep a cracked copy of it. It was the last thing I would hear before falling off to sleep every night. Also "Kookie, Kookie, Lend Me Your Comb". I always get flashbacks to watching "77 Sunset Strip" although I wasn't quite a teenager then. Ray Charles "You Don't Know Me". Craig

Subject: RE: Songs from Our Teens From: John Hindsill Date: 01 Aug 99 - 10:32 PM I get back from a long weekend away 'ol pentium and see what songs you remember as teens; some of your lists make me feel downright old! But the song choices are great...I just remember being out of college or even married by the time some of them were popular. A few I liked as a teen: Sixteen Tons Crazy Man Crazy Crying in the Chapel, and the song of all songs Sh Boom, as performed by the Chords on Cat records John |

Subject: RE: Songs from Our Teens From: KickyC Date: 01 Aug 99 - 11:29 PM Herman's Hermits! Henry the 8th, their version of "End of the World", Leaning on the Lampost, Sillouhetts (can't spell after 9:00 p.m.) Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter... Peter Noon was appeared at our local summer festival a few years ago. We had just returned from vacation and I almost didn't go, then realized what I would have given to have seen him when I was 15. What a fun night! Everyone was singing along to all those fun songs we all knew. It was so much fun! KickyC |

Subject: RE: Songs from Our Teens From: Allan C. Date: 02 Aug 99 - 07:59 AM Since we are talking about all of this old music, I thought it might be nice to point out a couple or three good sites for listening to some of the great old popular songs and tunes from various eras. So here are some places I think are worth visiting. Marybeth's has two sections dedicated to instrumentals. I started to post many of the songs from there but thought you might just want to ferret them out yourselves. I always drift off into my dream world every time I visit there. Oh, and just in case my HTML skills are a little lacking, I included the URL's beneath each attempt!
Marybeth's Memorable Melodies |

Subject: RE: Songs from Our Teens From: Date: 03 Aug 99 - 08:02 PM "Louie, Louie" takes me back to Lloyd's Roller Rink skating hand in hand with Linda Dixon, who had long, black wavy hair, dark eyes and creamy white skin. Round and round we'd go, all night long, just skating, talking, laughing. Damn, she was fun. Things were a lot simpler then. Nostalgically, Neil (with a "Thanks For The Memories" nod to Linda) |

Subject: RE: Songs from Our Teens From: Dave'sWife Date: 21 Jul 07 - 08:05 AM Hi everyone - sorry to be AWOL for so long - life kinda kept me away from the keyboard. Anyhoo - I was up with insomnia and had cable tv on and what song do you think was being played over and over again in a remake of Girls In Prison for Showtime? Answer: Endless Sleep ! What surprised me was that they let the actress playing the fole of the ficticious writer of Endless Sleep sing it and she did very well. It was Missy Crider. Over the credits they had a less stellar version playing by Concrete Blonde. I hadn't heard that song since my teens when I weas obsessed with early Rock N Roll death songs like Tell Laura I Love Her, Teen Angel etc., etc. Endless Sleep is probably the best of that lot because it is A. the most haunting and B. has a happy ending. Having been born in 1964, I never heard the origin al until I tracked it down on iTunes - there are a couple of versions by Jody Reynolds so be sure to skip the one from the K-Tel collection since it's a later remake by the same singer. I was just bummed that I couldn't find Missy Crider's version because she did a very credible little rockabilly-gal rendition with a well-placed hiccup in the last chorus. |
