I enjoy most genres of music. Country is my favorite, with rock ‘n roll (from the ’50s and ’60s) being my next favorite.
So, I just had to share the following after receiving an email from a church friend:
Some of the artists of the ’60s are revising their hits with new lyrics to accommodate aging baby boomers.
They include: Bobby Darin — Splish, Splash, I Was Havin’ a Flash.
Herman’s Hermits — Mrs. Brown, You’ve Got a Lovely Walker
Ringo Starr — I Get By With a Little Help From Depends
The Bee Gees — How Can You Mend a Broken Hip
Roberta Flack— The First Time Ever I Forgot Your Face
Johnny Nash — I Can’t See Clearly Now
Paul Simon— Fifty Ways to Lose Your Liver
The Commodores — Once, Twice, Three Times to the Bathroom
Marvin Gaye — Heard It Through the Grape Nuts
Procol Harem— A Whiter Shade of Hair
Leo Sayer — You Make Me Feel Like Napping
The Temptations — Papa’s Got a Kidney Stone
Abba— Denture Queen
Tony Orlando — Knock 3 Times On The Ceiling If You Hear Me Fall
Helen Reddy — I Am Woman, Hear Me Snore
Leslie Gore— It’s My Procedure, and I’ll Cry If I Want To.
And last but NOT least:
Willie Nelson — On the Commode Again
Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. And I bet you sang the songs in your mind as you read them. I did.
See you when I return from vacation!!!!
