Did you hear the instrumental version or the vocal? It was first released an an instrumental and was very popular. That version was catchy and at least bearable. Then some genius decided that is needed words to be a 'real' song and that version was absolutely awful.

You mean someone actually wrote LYRICS to that god-awful song?!?
I heard the instrumental version- it sounds like a demented music box from some horror movie! It apalls me to think the doctor might have been listening to that song on his drive to the hospital that day (my mom has frequently mentioned she didn't like the doc who delivered me- now I know why... he probably had that stupid song stuck in his head and was understandably in a foul mood).
:)
So, here's what I'm going to do... I'm adopting the song that was #1 on March 10th, 1968 (Sittin' on the Dock of a Bay- Otis Redding). I can live with that!
Now, for something REALLY disturbing- go back exactly 9 months from your birthday and see what was #1 (apparently, my folks might have been getting a groove on to Aretha Franklin's "R-E-S-P-E-C-T").
I'll never listen to those words- "sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me" without becoming nauseous again!

HaHa! I thought that your pain was hilarious until I looked up mine!
Let's Do It Again by the Staple Singers.
Oh! The Horror!
Then do yourself a big favor. NEVER EVER listen to the vocal version of that song. You will lose brain cells that you can never get back.

I looked up my wife's birthday song.
Let's just say I'm not going to even go there... :bbg:
Just look it up and you'll understand- 24 April 1967
Hehehe....Resist the urge. I know how bad you want to say something, but resist! :p
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. :(

A lack of planning on your part DOES NOT constitute an emergency on mine!
No, the problem was that 80% of the American population wasn't high.

Hey Steve,
I did a little research on Vera Lynn because of the Pink Floyd song
Check this out!!!
Pink Floyd wrote a song called "Vera" for their 1979 album The Wall as a reference to her and her song "We'll Meet Again" ; in the film based on the album, a Christmas song "The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot" by Vera Lynn is played over the opening credits ; the band also used her song "We'll Meet Again" as an introduction on their shows of the tour of this album. Roger Waters also used the song during the introductions on his 2006-2008 world tour, "Dark Side of The Moon Live". The song Vera was played during the show.
