Music Friday Five
1) What was the first song you remember hearing and enjoying on the radio?
This will make me old, “Playground In My Mind” by Clint Holmes….
When this old world gets me down
And there’s no love to be found
I close my eyes and soon I find
I’m in a playground in my mind
Where the children laugh and the children play
And we sing a song all day
“My name is Michael, I got a nickel
I got a nickel, shiny and new
I’m gonna buy me all kinds of candy
That’s what I’m gonna do”
See the little children
Living in a world that I left behind
Happy little children
In the playround in my mind
Oh the wonders that I find
In the playground in my mind
In a world that used to be
Close your eyes and follow me
Where the children laugh and the children play
And we sing a song all day
“My girl is Cindy
When we get married, we’re gonna have a baby or two
We’re gonna let them visit their grandma
That’s what we’re gonna do”
“My name is Cindy
When we get married, were gonna have a baby or two
We’re gonna let them vist their grandma
That’s what we’re gonna do”
See the little children
See how they’re playing so happy
In the playround in my mind
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
La la la la la la la

3) What was your favorite year, music-wise?
It would have to be 1982, just look at all the hits that year.
4) If you could witness one historical music event through all time, what would you pick, and why?
The birth of the universe. That would be so cool!
5) Do you have a song that never fails to cheer you up? What is it and why does it do that for you?
“I Lost On Jeopardy” by “Weird Al” Yankovic cause at least someone is lower on the scale of Jeopardy than I am.
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I was there to match my intellect on national tv
Against a plumber, oh, and an architect, both with a phd
I was tense, I was nervous, I guess it just wasn?t my night
Art fleming gave the answers
Oh, but I couldn?t get the questions right, -ight, -ight
I lost on jeopardy, baby (oooh)
I lost on jeopardy, baby (oooh)
Well, I knew I was in trouble now
My hope of winning sank
Oh, ?cause I got the daily double now
And then my mind went blank
I took potpourri for one hundred
And then my head started to spin
Well, I?m givin? up don pardo
Just tell me now what I didn?t win, yeah, yeah
I lost on jeopardy, baby (oooh)
I lost on jeopardy, baby (oooh)
That?s right, al–you lost. and let me tell you what you didn?t win: a twenty colume set of the encyclopedia international, a case of turtle wax, and a yeard?s supply of rice-a-roni, the san fra

Back tomorrow. you don?t even get a lousy copy of our home game. you?re a complete loser!
Don?t know what I was thinkin? of
I guess I just wasn?t too bright
Well, I sure hope I do better
Next weekend on the price is right, -ight, -ight
I lost on jeopardy, baby (oooh)
I lost on jeopardy, baby (oooh)
I lost on jeopardy, baby
