hehe, we were allowed the God channel or oldies(50’s & 60’s), to this day i know every song that comes on! however, we were allowed to listen to whatever we wanted in the “privacy of [y]our own bedrooms, thank you very much.”

A few years ago, my mom and I took some of the little girls in the family out for a girls’ day. I think we went to the mall and out for ice cream or something. Anyway, we had a great time and then on the way home, one of the girls asked if we could play some music. We put on Cat Stevens and the three of them all went “ewwwww” so we asked for a CD to pop in.

I kid you not, the 8 year old supplied something with lyrics to the gist of “let’s do it like they do on the Discovery Channel” or something like that. My mom and I were both horrified and switched back to Cat Stevens in about five minutes flat.

This post reminded me of that. Now I just feel old. Haha.

I love it! How I too remember this song…
What’s cherry wine anyway?
I think my mother wished some song did tell us all we needed to know about sex since she was soooo embarassed to talk to us about it!
When it got to any word she couldn’t handle… she would whistle…
“so you know Tor, if you’ve got any itching, you know, in you (whistle, whistle) then it’s probably (whistle whistle…)
Oh great….
Thanks for the update.
This too was the mother who refused to look at the ultrasound pictures, or buy a stroller in case you know the baby (whistle whistles). I just don’t want to jinx it…

I am such a nerd. I remember MY DAD introducing me to Guns N Roses and thinking that it was really loud, screechy music and why would anyone like it.

Of course now? He’s a super conservative country music fan. I’m hoping that the opposite will happen to me. Since I started out a musical nerd maybe in 40 years I’ll be super cool and hip to what the kids are into.

Love the 80’s music! I have my 80’s playlist on my ipod that gets the most play. Luckily, my son Tyler loves Depeche Mode’s Personal Jesus and Joan Jett’s I Love Rock n Roll. I can’t resist those 80’s CDs either!

Keep up the great blogging. Thanks for visiting.

I’d *almost* take that over my mother.

My mother who SANG, “when I think about you I touch myself” to you, her mother, her BOYFRIENDS. It was frightening.

On the other hand, we totally got to listen to our generation’s music in the car.

Remember when you were driving and your mom was singing to all the songs on the oldies channel?

That will be me, my friends. I do adore the 80s.

I love it! Thanks for taking my back to relive the uptight days with my parents. My dad bought me my first stereo and asked someone at the store to recommend an album or two. Thats how I got Black Sabbath and The Beatles! He spent the rest of my teen years yelling “Turn that CRAP down!!”
*looks at her flannel shirt* I’m still wearing my 80’s clothes every day, are they really having 80’s parties? *cries*
