~~~~~oh, i'm sorry if i didn't clarify my retrohorror.
the song in question was on one of those yellow
labeled 45's with a bunch of whiteys singing it...sort
of sounding like up with peoplesque sort of things.
so, when i looked back, i was like..umm. that doesn't
seem too cool. not to mention jenny and i literally
jumping, turning around, crouching down, and?? well,
that's where it all got confusing, cause...how DID one
pick a bale of cotton?
also, while on things i vaguely remember but sort of
thought...this seems sort of weird as a kid
deals....do any of you remember the song 'cindy'? it
was on one of those kids records, and it had lyrics
something to the effect of 'i wish i was an apple a
hangin' on a tree, and every time that cindy passed,
she'd take a BITE of me!' (get along home cindy cindy,
get along home i say, get along home cindy cindy
..i'll marry you some day.....)
again. what the hell.
