Back in the early 1970's, oldies became all the rage (think American Graffiti). Some local radio stations started playing oldies and I listened to nothing but oldies on the radio for about 2 years. At that time, there was a Chicago oldies station that held a contest where they would play short clips from about 20 songs and the listeners had to try to guess the songs. Well, I considered myself to be fairly knowledgeable as to the oldies after constant listening to this oldies station so I tried my hand at the contest. After a few days, I figured out what 19 of those songs were but there was one song that eluded me. It sounded familiar but I couldn't quite put my finger on it and that oldies station never played it, that is, until the contest was over. "Susie Darlin'" was the song I couldn't place. I don't remember what the other 19 songs were but I never forgot "Susie Darlin."

I used to dance like this on the way to my mailbox across the street, only I was naked wearing headphones. The lady in right front has best natural rhythm. Best body award goes to Red hair lady in middle, back row in the black boots. I wonder if they all went to the bar after this?
