Born and raised in Sheboygan since 1964 but have not lived there for 24 years and even when I did can't remember the last time I went to the parade so this is fun to see after all these years... What intersection was this recorded at?
imagine having this song played at new years while you're watching a family of 5 get into an argument about discovering the fathers emails to his mistress (you planted them because you hate the family)
This song is a beautiful example of the diverse talent of Brian Jones. The dulcimer and the harpsichord are 180 degrees different from each other, yet he made their sounds blend perfectly. It’s a shame that he left this world way too soon. The 27 Club is a sad 😢 reminder of that fact.
when this song played I ran to her and told her the first "I love you" for the year, everytime I hear this song it reminds me of her and how much I love her, 💗
It's often mentioned that Take #37 is the version used on the first pressing of the single. However, on the Bear Family box, it's Take #23 that matches what is on this 45. Take #37 as listed on the Bear Family box is totally different.
If "Christmas with the Chipmunks" was ever animated, I could imagine them playing this song during the end credits. Plus, I think your copy of the album might be a stereo version; my copy [which I bought recently] is in mono, came in a shiny cover, and the label on the record had the Liberty Records logo against a red/green background [a labeling template I see they started doing in 1960, when "Sing Again with the Chipmunks" was released], rather than the heads of each of the 3 chipmunks against a black background [My 1965[?] reprint of the first Chipmunk album, "Let's All Sing with the Chipmunks", has that "3 Chipmunk Heads" label template on it; interestingly enough, while the front of my copy has the 1961 re-illustrated cover [without any shine to it], the back cover reuses the back cover artwork from the original release, except printed on plain paper seemingly glued on to the back of the cardboard sleeve, in contrast to the re-illustrated back cover I've seen other copies have]. I hope I can find more vintage Alvin and the Chipmunks stuff in the future; mainly more of the old albums from before the 2007 movie, and more of the toys.
The times when these imagined futures were at their height was a far more HOPEFUL/OPPTIMISTIC. Our eyes were on the horizon. Space travel to the moon was just the beginning, and concepts like undersea living were being experimented with, and then came the 1980s when White women gained political power. They overwhelmed the workforce, controlled which sex they gave birth to, favoring females. They directed Gov spending away from the horizon and its goals toward spending on themselves (WELFARE and DIVORCE Alimony) leaving the idea of a HOPEFUL future behind in favor of the the misery and bittiness (things that are inherent to women) we see today.
I'm late but better now than never!!! #Happy2024🎉🍻🥳🥃🎊!!!! Give this year an ol fashioned ass beating everyone!!! I'll be back in December to join you in a round of drinks and sobs!!! Have an amazing year everyone
For anyone like me who finds this song as haunting as it is hopeful and as solemn as it is sweet, I hope every new year is better than the last and may your new years celebrations remind you mostly of the good times while you create more.
I had this on vhs tape as a child. It was my absolute favorite. After my mother passed when i was 19 I stayed with a boyfriend for a little bit but ultimately got my place... I had this tape in a moving box labeled in giant letters DO NOT THROW OUT!!! SENTIMENTAL!!! come to pick up my things when getting my first apartment to find out the ex bfs mother threw out the box. It's been a search for nearly twenty years to find this. Snowflake time big boot time!! I looked up the children's names, the story line, songs... I couldn't find it & tbh my 3yo watches my phone sometimes when he gets crabby if we're out waiting somewhere... i looked over at him playing & seen this & clicked on. What an accidental gift!! Meant to be & now i can share it with him!! ❤❤❤ gorgeous nostalgia
Props to you for bringing up the Lusitania instead of that _other_ ship that’s way too overrated and won’t have any traces of it left on the seabed by 2050 And Lusitania’s operators are still around unlike the other ships operators Also, the final voyages of Mauretania and Olympic before their scrapping’s in 1935
