Friday five - music

thefridayfive FOR JULY 21, 2017

1. Have you come to the conclusion that your parents music (music popular in their time) isn't so bad?
This is funny, because there's an HD radio station that plays 70s music. I'm pretty sure I know many of the songs because, born in 1977, I had to listen to whatever my parents played in the car my first 8 years or so of life. I remember liking most of it, and enjoy it now. Some songs, however, seriously make me go o_O

2. Is there a song/group/singer you once adored, but don't now?
Singer: I would not use the word 'adored,' but I really liked Michael W. Smith in jr. high & high school. Bought his new albums as soon as they came out. That died out somewhere in college.
Song: I liked the song "American Pie" as a kid, but cannot stand it now.

3. Is there a song/group/singer you once despised, but is okay now?
Might have to come back to this one as nothing is coming to mind.

4. Have you ever heard a favorite song and suddenly had a reinterpretation its meaning?
Not a favorite song, but it never crossed my mind that the lyric "My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard" is about boobs until someone posted this realization on their FB wall. Yeah, I'm a little slow.

5. What song would you just as soon never hear again?
"American Pie" as mentioned above. My sister ruined "Desperado" by the Eagles by singing it all the time. "Tomorrow" from the musical Annie drives me crazy.

Even when they try to explain it line by line, it still comes out as gooblity gook. I'll pass. There are many more songs that I would rather listen to.

I don't see it as a hook up song myself, even after having the references explained. I ask my son (who's gay) about it and he just made a funny noise. I'm thinking not so much.
