[magenta321]

I was gonna download Marrakesh Express for my ring tone on my phone til I realized they were gonna charge me a buck a month for it Great song Fridai!

[mjfrombuffalo[$]]

Aw man, I shoulda been born in 1960. I love almost all of those songs.

[mtbat]

my son's number one song is "who let the dogs out"

[magenta321]

I've had Deacon Blues stuck in my head all day thanks to this thread.

What a depressing song it is too :s

I should have been born a year later so I could have "Hey Nineteen" stuck in my head instead

I also realized today how my songs came full circle. In the year I was born, Grease had several Billboard hits. In the year I graduated HS and went to College, the Grease MegaMix topped the charts. Kinda weird in a way. Maybe at my funeral the choir will be singing "You're the One that I Want."
