…white room with black curtains at the station …
…mornin’, don’t say you love me…
…year, 2525 ….
…mood, that’s it I got it….
…Garden of Eden, baby (they were so high it came out “in-a-gadda-da-vida, baby”)
See how my brain works? There are probably more…

Linda Hill is your host for this weekly adventure, and is also your host for Just Jot It January.

Now a word about K-Tel’s "Blockbuster," twenty original hits, twenty original stars!
Nice selections. I’d add, Don Henleys In the garden of Allah too! 😉

Never heard that one; I was never much of an Eagles fan. Glad you like these!

I never knew that one either, my hubby remembered it when I needed a quote about the figures I was putting together for a presentation one time. Facts or not, it depends – take a peek at another phrase in that song!

So many cool “in the…” songs. Some were so moody. I thought of 2525, which I liked a lot in the 70s, but now, not so much, maybe it’s too close to home. I think “Yellow Submarine” is the most fun, with “In the Mood” a close second.

“2525” was kind of morbid when it was brand new, and it hasn’t gotten any more pleasant since. I put that in because if I didn’t, someone would ask “why’d you forget 2525?” It was never really a favorite of mine: seemed too bombastic and preachy.

2525 seemed unique and important when I first heard it as a teenager, but yes, it was also a bit bombastic and preachy. More so now.

I’ve always been so uncontrollably obsessed with the sixties so I was hoping someone would think of this. The other songs are good too

They sold the K-Tel albums in the UK? I never knew that…

Yep. There were loads of them. The recording quality wasn’t that bad, but I bought most of the early ones.

Thanks! I figured everyone would remember the song, if not the artist.
