Things of the past

[A Random Phrase]

Me and a friend always put fizzies in our water during a home-ec meal, and we always got in trouble. Loved them!

I wish they still made them. As I recall they had them in a blister pack? It has been a loooooonngg time.

I remember fizzies! Barely. I loved to suck on them.

And I was crazy about Shirley Temple. Her movies were on television when I was little. (We didn't own a t.v., but we knew some people who did.)

My favorite passtime was the HULA HOOP!

For some reason "Fizzies" made me recall this song:

T- Bones "No Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's in)- 1966


And then the term "stomach" caused me to recall this song:

Kenny Rogers & The First Edition - Just Dropped In


All this was a result from attempting to learn Hula Hoop. )

Ah, the days when singers sang instead of screamed, chanted, went on and on about killing self and others. I think I'm having a wave of nostalgia.

Andrew55, I've heard that song before, but never have seen the singers. Thanks.

Question: That guy that was singing falsetto. Does he always sing like that?

I noticed the audience sat and listened. Wow!

I liked the song sans the falsetto part.
