I'm so old I Remember when:

And Snagglepuss..."Exit, stage right!"

And Mighty Mouse: (theme song) "'Here I come, to save the day!' That means that Mighty Mouse is on his way..."

I didn't mind Disco music. But I hung out with the Lynyrd Skynyrd crowd, so I kept that under my hat.

I liked Skynyrd, Zeppelin, Cream but I liked my doe si doe stuff also like Hank and Luke the Drifter.

My toddler's nightly lullaby is Lost Highway. I play it before bed every night. He loves Hank Williams

"Beans beans the magical fruit
The more you eat, the more you toot.
The more you toot, the better you feel
So eat some beans with every meal!"

And as grade schoolers, we found this hilariously naughty.

Then there was, "The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out..."

Oh, yes! During summer vacation, our moms gave us money to get them cigarettes out of the bowling alley vending machine while they were bowling with their league... [Juke box playing "Love Child", "Don't Sleep In The Subway Darling", "Baby Love", etc.] We each knew our mothers' brands...

I'm hoping his taste in music will stick with him when he hits those teenage years..... I can only imagine what the "in" music will be like by then.

Ah,my - Blazing Saddles! "Is that a 10-gallon hat, or are you just glad to see me?" Soooo Mel Brooks.

I remember buying pickles from a barrel. And penny candy that was a penny a piece. From a general store that had a wooden floor, a screen door, and a porch.

That sounds just like our general store when we lived in rural Kennesaw, Georgia! (Late 60s) They had a "Colonial Bread" plaque on the screen door. And a Coke machine with those classic green glass bottles that rattled down when you bought one... You put the empties in a metal rack next to the machine. Kids collected discarded empties and brought them in to get the return-deposit money from the store.
