fun fact number 15

your mama don't dance

and your daddy don't rock and roll

well, mine do.
(obviously)
this is great for me.
it means i have pretty decent music taste.
however, that came with some issues.
we listened to music a lot growing up.
but, it wasn't the music that you guys probably all listened to.
until i was about 11 years old, i didn't know that "new" music was being made.
no idea whatsoever.
i grew up on oldies.
the beatles,
elvis,
buddy holly,
the monkees,
the hollies,
i thought that 90s music was "skating party music" that's what i called it.
so, yes, i'd heard tlc and the spice girls.
but i didn't know you could listen to them outside of the skating rink.
now, this is great for me.
i have a broad range of music that i like.
but,
in 4th grade?
the kid who's favorite band is the beatles?
and has never heard of 98 degrees?
she's weird.

if you listen closely, you can hear cassy and i singing "love potion number niyiyine"
do you hear it?

(this post was inspired by my current obsession with my oldies playlist on grooveshark. it consists of beauties such as
peggy sue
do wah diddy
carrie anne
the rain, the park, and other things
last train to clarksville
take good care of my baby
bus stop
love potion number 9
and wipeout.
much of this music would be dubbed by my father as "teeny bopper" music, and he would be extremely distressed that i would choose to willingly listen to it)
