For me it was Kansas City by Wilbert Harrison. 1959. Twenty-five cents. I still have it, I think. They got some crazy little women there and I'm gonna get me one. (Not that I know this for sure.) This thread now makes me think some smartass is going to start one named something like "what's the last BD you're every going to buy?" And that reminds me of the joke -- Did you hear that Sony came out with a pacemaker? Yep. They call it "My Last Sony." The name is modeled on My First Sony from 1991:

House Of The Rising Sun, by The Animals- I was about 8 or 9, at the time. My mom used to play Perry Como to get me to go to sleep and the only reason that worked is so I didn't have to listen to it if I was sleeping. I hated that crap! My brother is about 2-1/2 years older and he started high school in '69, which means the music he brought home was a bit ahead of what typical 11 year olds listened to. Cream, Moody Blues, Jethro Tull, ELP, King Crimson, early Doors.......I think some of that stuff scared my friends- we'd go to their house and listen to Donny & Marie and other stuff that I hated, then we'd go to our house- I'd put on 21st Century Schitzoid Man, Crossroads and other songs that were too bizarre for them and in about 5 minutes, they wanted to leave and their voices were shaky.

AC-DC Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
I still remember the glee my friends and I shared while chorusing in on Big Balls but my favorite song from that album was Ride On hands down.

Since I played trumpet in school, it could have been a Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass - Whipped Cream?

There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions. |
