I listen to some of these old songs and say to myself, how I did I miss all these references to sex and drugs? Robert Plant singing, "I want to be your back door man" (c'mon, quick, what song? what group? what year? I am sure 90% of the people here know.) but back then I just thought it was a catchy lyric. LOL.
I mean, heck, we can even turn those missing unicorns into something dirty if we felt like it! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Oh yeah Leslie......we sang along to all these songs of "gettng high", "light my fire", "girl you're a woman now", and god knows what else was in the meaning of some of those songs back then.
But truth is, if we were so oblivious to what they meant, then our parents certainly had LESS concept of what hey meant...... ::) ::)

(and its still going strong)
I was lucky to be a teenager thru the sixties.....was into Elvis....then Beatlemania.....then the hippie era......there was some fantastic music, and as I look down that list of songs, I reckon I could still sing word for word every one of them.......
OUR song was Young Girl by The Union Gap......whenever we hear it now, we look at each other and smile that "remember when" smile...and you know, when I remember, I can even smell the perfume I wore and the after shave he wore.........there is nothing like a song to bring back memories......

That's a great song Katie - "Young Girl" by The Union Gap. It is funny how songs can bring back memories. All of a sudden you are transported back to a different time and a different place. I heard the song on the radio the other day "If You Leave Me Now" by Chicago and it took me right back to when my first relationship, Steve, and I were staying at a friend's apartment. I guess that was kind of our song and I remember him telling me that this is the way he would feel if we ever broke up. It brought to mind another song too which was another one of our songs, "All By Myself" by Eric Carmen. I remember that day he told me that he felt this way before he met me. Oh well, we broke up many, many years ago. I sometimes wonder wherever he is if he remembers these songs and that time too. And now I am feeling sad :'(

Good job with the lyrics, Leslie, but don't go turning my Unicorn song into something nasty!

Oh c'mon, what's the mythology about unicorns? They lay their heads in the laps of young virgins?
