Interesting that you picked up on punk. The Cars Just What i Needed bsasically steals the intro. Also the lyrics of Yummy Yummy Yummy are interesting. Ooh you're such a sweet thing, good enough to eat thing. In case you think that is innocent, take Chewy Chewy. Do it to me, Chewy, chew me out of my mind.

I was exactly  at the age then  those records where aimed  at and of course sailed over my 9  /  10 year old head, I read once that when they were put together the writers would have a real laugh thinking how many double entendres they could throw in there.  From my point of view  have carried them with me from that age and love them all, es 1-2 -3 Red Light which is another one with hidden meaning. 
 

Amazing she could sound so young on those records.

Another link in the great rock and roll chain gone, Farewell to an absolute legend.

Singer  of  songs like Cindy's  Birthday and actor in T.V series like the Rifleman. 

Just heard this morning Lorne and so very sad. I used to communicate with her a bit in old days and appreciated her zest and enthusiasm for life, she was like a breath of fresh air,   Go easy Kate.

Remember it well, one of my late wife's favorites . I think Bill Mumy from Lost In Space took one of the main parts. 

That would be 1972 for me.  While I do love plenty of music from that year, I probably listen to 1968 - 1971 songs more these days.       Will say though that the earlier songs  don't have the memories attached to them that the songs when I was 14 do.

Picked up a Dan Fogelberg Best Of CD a few months ago and thought of Roger.  Must be a few years ago now he passed, , the years  seem to fly by  at turbo  speed past a  certain age.  Time of year  for thinking of people     that have  passed like Roger and Gator Rouge , Wes 50's and   Ron Smith of course.    Must say losing my wife a few months ago and  also  having my own close call last August   has made me very reflective . 

Sweet Caroline would be a contender. 

What a shocking week,  two above plus Roy C of Shotgun Wedding fame, understand one of the original Marvelettes  has pased and one of the sisters from the Emotions at only 61.

Always enjoyed his work with the Mindbenders  and he had some excellent solo records like 24 Sycamore and  Pamela Pamela.   Yet another lost to cancer.   Thanks for the music !

Neither will I Karen, very effecting and would never have guessed what it really related to.

If you listen to the single version on You Tube it is gun. Was changed on the edited version to be radio friendly, like Steve Miller Band with the edit of Jetliner .

Good to know there is a ounce  of memory still  there somewhere. Not the only song about clothing they wrote,  also  a  certain little  song about Paul Vance's young daughter and her " Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini  "   Tracy by Cuff Links was another song they wrote.
