and this one, because the young lady in it could bed a twin of the girl I almost married.

This was playing the first time I told my ex-fiance I loved her.
What's actually cool is that George is/was a team roper.
"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

Same here but I prefer the Ataris' version. It always seemed like more of a celebration of a really great time.

The ex loved Procol Harem's "Whiter Shade of Pale". And I used to love watching her listen to it...

Elton John "The One" -- she wasn't.
Erasure "Take a Chance on Me" -- we did. Amazing year of wild abandon.
Enigma "Sadness" -- all those dark nights in the Canal Zone around the time of the turnover at Josefines.
Eurhythmics "Must Be Talking to an Angel" -- definitely a fallen one.
Jon B "Hey Pretty Girl" -- she sure was.
P. Poe "Hey Pretty" -- yes, that car was damned fast and took curves as tight as hers....
John Hiatt-Have a little faith in me Shinyribs-Sweet Potato Leonard Cohen-Suzanne Serge Gainsbourg-Je T'Aime Moi Non Plus Don Henley-Heart of the matter Guns n Roses-My Michelle Johnny Lee-Looking for love
added memo: the Cohen/ Gainsbourg girl was the most romantic.

A lot of back story, but do I think of this particular young lady whenever I hear this tune.
Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves.

My wife sung this to me while it played one night. I'll never forget it.

NavyGuy, I don't know if I should thank you or scream at you. Haven't heard that song or thought of that girl in quite a while. I think I'll thank you. That and the Moody Blues song brought up alot of good times, and some not so good.

"Witchy Woman" by the Eagles takes me to my first wife. How I lasted 6 years with that woman is nothing short of a miracle.
