No shit! Had no idea. I thought it was just an old school thing.

Well I’m glad that shit (dancing in gym class I is over on many levels. At least my kids didn’t have to do dancing.)

Damn.

I was still being subjected to it back around 2004/05 but as far as I know it's been phased out

I'd be remiss if I didn't give @Whiskeyjack a big thank you for a great week. It took me a day to get past how much better he is at this than me.

7th grade, a boy named Paul. He was caught in crossfire of a gang shooting, and was shot & killed when we were freshman.

Day 9 - A song a family member introduced you to

My mom or dad used to sing to me before bed. This is one of the songs my dad used to sing to me. I had no fucking clue what it was really about.

I just thought it was a song about ridiculous things and giant mountains of rock candy.

Harry McClintock - Big Rock Candy Mountain

Day 9 - A song a family member introduced you to

I remember sitting in the backseat of the car when this came on the radio and my mom turned it and told me to listen to it. I also remember the look my dad shot her when "giving head" was mentioned. I didn't know what that meant and there was no internet... (an aha moment later! )

Lou Reed - Take a Walk on the Wildside

 

[CarlyAnn]

Day 9 - A song a family member introduced you to

My Grandfather introduced this song to me. He used to play it on his “gut bucket”. I liked it so much that I started to do Pearl Jams’ version when I was with my cousin’s band. I looked it up one time and it was written by Wayne Cochran who may have had the wildest hairstyle of anyone back in that era.

Day 9: A song a family member introduced you to.

I think I get my love for music from my dad. Even now, when we have our ‘Name That Tune’ game, it reminds me of old songs that I love.

Day 9 - A song a family member introduced you to

I was cruising with my Aunt. I remember asking her why she shifted gears so differently than my parents, said she dated a race driver once. She popped in this album and sang along to this song; she gave me the cassette as an xmas gift. I watched the music video on Much Music and saw the meaning, and in the past few years I finally understand what she wanted me to know

If - Janet Jackson

9. A song that makes you think

Won’t Be the Last Time - Justin Townes Earle

Now when I was young
I was dumb and I was crazy
Now I'm getting old
And I feel this world closing in on me
On a Sunday mornin' sidewalk
Just wishing Lord that I could sleep
I got my hands down in my pockets
Cause I'm shakin' like a leaf
It won't be the last time
It won't be the last time
It won't be the last time
It won't be the last time

I refuse to think about depressing things today so I'm thinking I need to put in more hours on Duolingo so I don't need to look up the lyrics to this song!
