About Old Songs
Bryan started giggling ½ way through his GTA game. Couldn’t wait to let me know the source of his mirth. “Hey mom! Listen to this! It’s so lame!” he said. He turned up the volume and this was what I heard.
I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
cause there aint no one for to give you no pain
La, la ..

An old classic by America The Horse with No Name....hahaha.. it was a hit back in the 70s. yup.. i remember learning & singing this song. ok.. the lyrics was a bit weird. He’s in the desert. He’s got nothing to do. Makes you wonder why he couldn't just name the horse! I had that song in my iTunes and I played the whole thing for Bryan. He couldn't stop laughing.
Come to think of it. There are many songs from way back then, songs I grew up with, which lyrics were rather banal, downright silly even.
Muskrat Susie, muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land
Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land
Also another America’s…about a pair of rodents making out... Muskrat Love.
Neil Diamond’s I am I said comes to mind too.
"I am," I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
what was Neil expecting? the chair to say "i hear you" ? hahaha... guess he couldn’t find any other animated object that rhymes with there. Personally I’ll prefer bear. At least a bear has got ears that could have heard him.
Wait till Bryan hears this next classic… MacArthur Park. Take your choice from 2 versions .. the original soulful one by Richard Ellis and disco version by Donna Summers.
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, nooooooooo!
Oh, nooooooooooooooo!
Oh, noooooooooooooooooooooo!

Oh, nooooooooo!
Oh, nooooooooooooooo!
Oh, noooooooooooooooooooooo!
