One of my stand out memories as a kids is Ronan Collines playing 'In The Year 2525" by Zager and Evans, and listening to the words, and it scaring the shit out of me...

In The Year 2525 by Zager and Evans
ARTIST: Zager and Evans
TITLE: In the Year 2525


In the year 2525
If man is still alive.
If woman can survive, they may find.


In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies.
Everything you think, do and say, is in the pill you took today.


In the year 4545
Ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes.
You won't find a thing to chew.
Nobody's gonna look at you.


In the year 5555
Your arms hanging limp at your sides.
Your legs got nothing to do.
Some machine doing that for you.


In the year 6565
Ain't gonna need no husband, won't need no wife.
You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too.
From the bottom of a long glass tube. Whoa-oh


In the year 7510
If God's a-comin, he oughta make it by then.
Maybe he'll look around himself and say.
Guess it's time for the judgment day.


In the year 8510
God is gonna shake his mighty head.
He'll either say.I'm pleased where man has been.
Or tear it down and start again. Whoa-oh


In the year 9595
I'm kinda wonderin if man is gonna be alive.
He's taken everything this old Earth can give.
And he ain't put back nothing.Whoa-oh



Now it's been ten thousand years
Man has cried a billion tears.
For what he never knew,
now man's reign is through.


But through eternal night.
The twinkling of starlight.
So very far away.
Maybe it's only yesterday.

between this, the muppets and tubular bells is it any surprise that marjiuana was a major theme of my late teen and early twenties...???

Who sang that song .."Hey there you with the sad face, come up to my place and live it up"?

Mental As Anything

 

[Bad Intentions]

Perhaps Zager and Evans could have done with hearing: "Hey you with the sad face come up to my place and live it up"?

Then they wouldn't have gone around scaring little kids.

there Mental As Anything version, or the worryingly etched in my mind, Russ Abbot version...

Russ Abbot inviting anyone to his 'place' to 'live it up' is just plain wrong

 

[St. Fechin]

Queen, R.E.M and Def Leppard, this in particular:

 

[classic seanc]

First album I ever bought. In Manchester when I was 7.
I liked Queen (He can't be gay! He wears leather!), Metallica and anything with guns or guitars in the video. Otherwise it was shite.
Though I seem to remember dancing to "Set on You" by George Harrison and "Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Also, my bro liked Dire Straights.

The only thing of my parent's I listened to was Elvis, live from Hawaii, at the wrong speed.

Carol Vorderman?

Edit


wrong thread.

But mostly I just listened to Armed Forces Radio (due to living outside the US between '71 and '76), which played only what was big in the American charts at the time. As a result, stuff like "Tie a Yellow Ribbon" and "Seasons in the Sun" are stuck in my brain for all eternity. Not that I really liked that stuff, but there wasn't much choice.

I would not have been exposed to those US AM hits of the 1970 - 1976 period until many years later in random, small doses. However I have a fascination for them and honestly think there's some cracking tunes from that era. I made a compilation called Highway In The Wind which is on the club thread somewhere. Stuff like the Poppy Family - Where Are You Goin' Billy?, Mark Lindsay - Silver Bird, Janis Ian - At Seventeen, Gary Wright - Dream Weaver.

Rhino's Super Hits Of The '70s: Have A Nice Day is a cool series.

 

[Wilbert]

The first songs I remember being obsessed about were "No. 1 Song in Heaven" and "Beat The Clock" by Sparks. The guy with the Hitler 'tache freaked me out! I was 9.

The first single I bought was "So Lonely" by the Police and "I Don't Like Mondays" by the Boomtown Rats on my tenth birthday.
