I love this song. I don't care how corny it was, it was a great fricking song that should be loved by EVERYONE!!!!

(27,172 posts)I remember being in grade school and singing an off-color version of the chorus
(keep in mind it was the 1970s):
We had joy we had fun
We went streaking in the sun
But the cops they had guns
so they shot us in the buns

Ah, those were the days.

(17,216 posts)Lots of times the music we love most is based on who we were when we first heard it. Or even worse, who we think we were when we first heard it, viewed through a rather-rose-colored memory.

LynneSin
(95,337 posts)you liked listening to Terry Jack's "Seasons in the Sun" while looking thru your deviant porno magazines.
I hope that's not the case. If it is you might not want to share that with others.

(95,337 posts)Because yes I will judge any DUer who likes looking at deviant porn while listening to goofy 70's love ballads like "Seasons in the Sun" or "Muskrat Love"

(95,337 posts)I do happen to like 3 songs by Creed but let's just keep that between you and me ok!

(8,646 posts)I actually know (and gasp, like!) quite a few Nickelback songs - my ex and his best friend grew up with the band members so we knew about them before they 'made it big'.

(3,208 posts)this song does bring back some wonderful memories of early adolescence. Going to the roller skating rink every Friday night.
Another song from that era was "Billy, Don't Be a Hero".
