We dated through high school and went our separate ways after for awhile, then got married and have been married for over 50 years.Dizzy-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150939928800538404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-61700424883386020382014-12-19T11:07:54.068-06:002014-12-19T11:07:54.068-06:00Was at the sock hops during hi school when that &q...Was at the sock hops during hi school when that "what's behind the green door" was always playing,, drove me nuts not knowing.. lolololTROUBLEnTXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15101519457688182222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-83284191904549972022014-12-19T01:55:22.394-06:002014-12-19T01:55:22.394-06:00I remember the song but I did not listen to it unt...I remember the song but I did not listen to it until the 70's.

There's a group of cowboys at the Bar D Ranch in Durango, CO that do a really funny parody of the Lion... only their version is The Possum Sleeps Tonight. You can google it if you want some laughs.The Odd Essayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17168404014947652773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-55970889732765498752014-12-18T11:30:49.940-06:002014-12-18T11:30:49.940-06:00Yes, it is the story of what happened to a multitu...Yes, it is the story of what happened to a multitude of people, and in every occupation.Dizzy-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150939928800538404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-53161572411214026192014-12-18T11:29:50.872-06:002014-12-18T11:29:50.872-06:00Blue grass is all I listen to now, except for some...Blue grass is all I listen to now, except for some country western on TV, but when I was younger, I liked pop music and went to the sock hops.

What a shame about the original folks who recorded the song getting shafted like that.
