OK people out in the blogosphere…this week’s Twisted Mix
Tape Tuesday @ www.jenkehl.com is again the 70’s and I was going to do a montage to Disco Duck
but then (luckily for all of you) I started thinking about all of the songs
that I used to listen to with my siblings and I decided that I would share some
of those songs with you instead! You all can thank me later for not torturing you with
Disco Duck! HAHAHAHA! Sooo….let me give
you a little bit of back story here…don’t fall asleep…it’s not like I am going
to torture you with a photo slide view show or anything that boring...so stay with me
here…I promise you that it will be short and relatively painless! So I am the youngest of three children in our
family with the age difference of my brother being eleven years older than I am…so
let’s just say that when you are a high school boy in the 70’s and your sister
is like four…that is some serious dating candy right there! He used to drag me along with him everywhere because all of
his girlfriend’s thought that I was adorable therefore my brother was so sweet
to bring me along! Sheesh…those girls
were such SUCKERS! Any hoo…I spent a lot
of time with him and the following songs remind me of spending a 70’s summer
with him cruising around in his re-modeled Ford Model T Truck, with a custom
welded chain link steering wheel! What a
visual huh? So here you go blogosphere…the
top five 70’s summer songs…well according to my brother! Happy Listening!
Deep Purple-Smoke on the Water
America-Sister Golden Hair
Gordon Lightfoot-SunDown
Foreigner-Hot Blooded
Aerosmith-Dream On
Michael Martin Murphey-Wildfire
OK…fellow bloggers...so there you have it!
I am still humming Sister Golden Hair as I finish out this amazing Mix
Tape Tuesday dedication…I hope that you are too...Oh and I TOTALLY want to get me a horse and name it Wildfire too! I love these songs...I hope that they bring back some memories for all of you too!
What am I listening to as I pen this bloggary: Space Cowboy,
by Steve Miller Band
Wow, the fact that I not only know but LOVE some of these songs is awesome! Also, Steve Miller Band? Great taste! Seen them at a music festival a couple years go, it was epic. Fantastic mix tape!
ReplyDeleteI have to tell ya...I am kind of a Steve Miller Band UberDork! Yeah...that says a lot about me! ;)
DeleteHA! I had Sundown as one of my earworms. Now it's in my head again! I love Dream On-it's another favorite of mine. Great list!
ReplyDeleteI love Dream On...I can't sing it AT ALL but I really like to try to belt it out...in the car...with all the windows down! It is kind of embarrassing but I really don't care...that song is the JAM!
DeleteDream On is a great choice! Love that song!
ReplyDeleteI know...it is like a DREAM! HAHAHAHAHHAAAA! ;)
DeleteLiked your "Brother" story... Love Foreigner & Aerosmith. And the Michael M Murphey song brings back some nice memories. Nice... Slu
ReplyDeleteHey Thanks! I spent a lot of time with my brother that summer and these songs really remind me of all the fun that I had with him! Now...his girlfriends were kinda dumb to fall for the whole "I brought my sister" bit...but hey it seemed to work for him! ;)
Delete"duh duh duh...duh duh da duh!!! duh duh duh da da duh!!! "
ReplyDeleteRitchie Blackmore!!
(plus Walk This Way... one of the all time top three rock songs)
DREAM ON! Never gets old...
DeleteWonderful list this week! My country-music-loving son heard the commercial where the kids are playing the intro to Smoke on the Water on their iphones and ipads and looked at me in wonder as I was "singing" along with it. I was able to give him a rock education, play him the original song and he even requests I pull up the video for him to watch every now and again when he sees I'm on my laptop. I might be able to convert him yet.
ReplyDeleteI love that commercial! It is so funny and the look on that dad's face after the kids were like "whatever" is priceless! :)
DeleteMost excellent list! Dream On is one of my very favorites. That's awesome your brother used to drag you along because his girlfriends thought you were cute!
ReplyDeleteThey were kind of dumb..but hey...I can't fault my brother for using their lack of brain skills to his advantage! HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!
DeleteGreat - now I want to be horseback riding and smell wild grass blowing in the wind on a hot summer day! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is truly one of the best feelings EVER!
DeleteMy brother is 10 years older than me, although his girlfriends were losers and did not think I was cute, he did influence my music listening quite a bit. I totally get that, although I would not have complained about Disco Duck either! Thanks for the awesome memories!
ReplyDeleteDisco Duck...that song was hilarious! I just could not figure out how to make a whole post about a disco dancing duck! ;)
DeleteOMG we both chose Wildfire! I loved all your other pics too!
ReplyDeleteI love that song...so makes me want to get a horse...like BAD! ;)
DeleteThanks for the follow...I will wander over and follow back! ;)
ReplyDeleteNice list! And no worries, the mere mention of the duck was plague enough. Should we expect Pac Man Fever next week?
ReplyDeletePac Man FEVER WHAT?! OK...so now I HAVE To try to incorporate that in to next week's post! NICE suggestion! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!
DeleteHey! would love for you to join this hop in which I'm the co-host so come link up. http://pinkowl07.blogspot.com/2013/06/i-am-eve-blog-hop.html
ReplyDeleteGordon Lightfoot - Love. Somebody else picked this one - was it Jen? I forgot to mention how much I love him - and particularly this song. So I'll say it here. This song reminds me of going to the library in the summer time. Don't know why. It just does. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat song is just so easy to sing...and it does remind me of the library too..huh...I wonder why that is? Pondering...pondering...pondering... ;)
