    It's Dixie by whoever wants to sing it.

    "If" for me, unfortunately not by Bread, but by Perry Como,lol 1951

    By the way, I am familiar with the origins of "The Battle Hymn Of The Republic" and it was Abe Lincolns favorite song, lol

    I had to renew this thread...

    When I saw that my song was Rhinestone Cowboy by Glenn Campbell for when I was born and Too Close by Next for when I started in optical. What's sad is that I know Rhinestone Cowboy, but I have no clue about the other song :o

    "Love is Blue" by someone named Paul Mauriat.

    I've never heard of the song or the performer...

    That's one of these songs with an annoying tune that sticks in your head, kinda like 'It's a Small, Small World'.

    Darn, now they are both fighting for space in my head. :(

    how bout "they're coming to take me away backwards. It was on the flipside of they're coming to take me away, and, as a teenaged boy washing dishes at a drive-in restuarant, I couldn't help but to annoy the patrons of the establishment by playing it as many times as I could afford on the juke box. Thanks for the memories!

    Harry, does this mean you gave new meaning to the phrase "the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air?"

    Yeah, but did you know if you play the backwards version backwards you can plainly hear the devil chanting "The walrus was Paul"?:p

    Just heard "Love is Blue" on-line. OMG, its awful! I mean, just really terrible...

    How in the name of everything good and evil did THAT song ever make it to #1 on ANY chart???

    This clinches it- the 60's were just a bad time (for that song to be #1, I simply have to assume that at least 80% of the American population was taking acid or something).
    :p
