Vox Hunt: Share a song you listened to in 6th grade.
I might actually have been in early 7th grade when this song was popular; both grades spanned the calendar year in which this song was released.
What I really wish I could share is the song "Painted Lady" from this ...
... though I can't remember if my brother received this record when I was in sixth grade or seventh grade, and it was so bad that, after a few weeks of playing, he decided we should destroy it. First we tried scratching it until it was unplayable. When that didn't work to our satisfaction, we glued glitter onto the vinyl. When dry, we returned it to its cardboard jacket and then left it on the front porch of the house across the street (the Wootens) when no one was looking. I wish at least one of us had seen the reaction of whoever found it.
Just for kicks, I looked, and lo and frickin' behold! the song is actually on YouTube. Bro, this one's for you:
Postscript: My brother has informed me that the Glitter Band record entered our household in 1977, or maybe as late as 1978. Alas, I am old enough to have lapses in memory.
Post-postscript: I actually liked "Painted Lady" and was secretly sad to destroy it. Hearing it again after all these years, I still think it's quite catchy, lyrics aside.
