I first heard my Mom humming this song a few days ago. I recognizes that song but it wasn’t until last night that I asked her to play it as she took the patches off of my knee. This song came out in 1986 when I was four years old. I am having a vivid memory of being outside Father Yagley Hall after a Girl Scouts meeting, so I must have been in fifth grade.
My friend and I were outside waiting for her mom to wrap things up inside so we could go home. She was the troop leader and my friend and I lived roughly a block away from each other, on the same street. I don’t recall what we were talking about but somehow our conversation led us to begin singing this song:
We both knew the words and because it was out when we were so young, the only reason we knew the words was because of our parents listening to this song on the radio stations when we were driving in the car with them. My friend and I didn’t see anything wrong with knowing this song but we both were just belting it out in the parking lot. I really had forgotten about this song until my Mom was humming it.
