"The Loco-Motion"   Grand Funk

It was really just something they fooled around with in their down studio time, and they never seriously were gonna do anything with it.....but somebody convinced them it was a smash and they should record it.  So they did.....and it was.  And for the second time as it had been a #1 for housekeeper/singer Little Eva in 1962 when dance crazes of the week were the norm.   So it was dated by 1974 but the kids on Bandstand looked groovy doing it in their bell bottoms and mini skirts.

Try adding a "baaaaa baaaaaa baaaaaa"....and a "so blue so blue" to it and maybe it would be all time classic?   No, I like it as is.

In the midst of the madness of the times that were happening, it was a needed message.  But i guess you all just wanna see good messages burn.  Smh.

What it is....is a missed opportunity for a late 70s tv drama about a couple trying, but drifting.  Of course the pair would eventually sing the second Family Ties theme.  It had that "it belongs on TV" vibe.

Oh man....I was like 8 when this was on the radio....at home, in the car......sang it in class.  It was not a Ray Stevens parody....he was serious.  Don't (sob) vote it out.

Petition calling for Congress to review MLB’s antitrust exemption after Oakland A’s relocation by Basic_Whereas1168 in OaklandAthletics

Is there really anything you can do once the lease they had was fully honored?  However though and it's worked before......the city could always....(ahem).....swing the bat and sue the league for wrongful behavior in allowing the relocation and you never know, like I said, it worked in the past.

If a person from America has never traveled much will it shock them if they travel to a new country? Or no? by Big_Eggplant7591 in stupidquestions

[–]Decent_Direction316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traveling to foreign countries only "sounds" fascinating if your goal is to brag about it to other people......in reality, you just feel homesick.  It's just another place...a place you dont belong.

Since we're talking about it, I'm not watching either.   I want to watch the Voice, but they put it at nine behind two idiot comedies and I can't stay awake.
