This week’s music theme had me wondering where have all those songs gone. But then that is why they are called one hit wonders. Thanks to danboe.net for his VH1’s Top 100 one hit wonders list. Memories came flooding back.
There was this color poster of Spandau Ballet in an aunt’s room where I hid a bowl of mackerel sardines under her bed. Those late night meals, pranks, and listening to True
Today after twenty-four years is my first time back to Electric Avenue. During school breaks, an uncle would send us cousins to a chicken bar-b-cue restaurant for dinner where this song was played all the time on FM radio –
At home, mother, a long-time church board member and strict, conservative christian banned songs she thought lacked virtues and were a bad influence on me. As someone educated from first grade to college by church-run schools, I of course thought differently and secretly enjoyed forbidden Macarena
Grandma liked waltzes, My Country Tis of Thee and The Star-Spangled Banner. Her first teachers were American soldiers, and she was fond of Abide With Me.

and Stacy Uncorked and with Mel’s Memory Lane
Macarena s still a one hit wonder and still done by old fat men and drunk girls at weddings.
You gave me such a visual Gillian… thanks, I was trying to eat my lunch. UGH!

Thanks for visiting! Your blog is nice. It’s funny , but the only song I know is “Abide with me”. I don’t think I have ever heard the other singers. Perhaps we had other music here in my country! LOL.
Most of these music actually come from your country or at least your side of the world, 😀

Hello.I’m laughing, because it’s just a couple of days ago Spandau Ballet was on the radio with “True”. I know the song from my wife who is English and always singing it! Love the Macarena…those were the days. Thanks for the mini trip down nostalgia lane. Thanks also for visiting my blog.Thoughts Of Beauty In The Stillness Of Dawn…
Hi Hazel! Thanks for your visit. I am sorry I cannot find the proper pace to answer your comment. Via Dolorosa will be my entry for V. It is such a pity that the new system of Google breaks of an entry with the words ” Read more”.The most important part of the entry is hidden this way.
Hi Hazel! Thanks for your visit. Yes the bible is filled with interesting sinners. People like you and me.
