For some strange reason I got a comercial song stuck in my head.
You know the Alomond Joy and Mounds candy bar commercial.
Some times you feel like a nut
Some times you don’t
Tootsie Roll!
Whatever it is I think I see,
Becomes a tootsie roll to me!
And the School House Rock multipliplication tables, history, and grammar:
3 is a Magic Number
No more, no more, no less…
That one’s stuck for sure with 3 kids!
Anybody remember,
Conjunction, junction–what’s your function?
What memories those songs bring back.
School House Rock was my favorite Saturday morning cartoon.
What more could a kid ask for than to have a big bowl of Lucky Charms, sit in front of the television and watch Land of the Lost followed by School House Rocks.
Ah, yes!! Those were the days…minus the Lucky Charms! Did you ever ask for a cereal and it was nasty but your mom said you had to eat it all b/c you asked for it??
Lucky Charms, Cookie Crisp, and Golden Grahams all fell in that catagory.
Speaking of more stuck tunes–How about the Honeycomb song?? 😀
Oh yeah, many a time. I think if you grew up in the 1970’s you probably had to eat a lot of nasty cereal because that was what the Saturday cartoons were all about, cereal.
When I was a child I hated Raisin Brand and Cheerios. If it didn’t have a pound of sugar it wasn’t worth an ounze of cure to me, lol.
My all time most hated cereal,(sorry for my spelling), was Grape Nuts. Good Lord you could pave the highway with that stuff.
I think that only Post Toastie Corn Flakes had been invented when I was a kid. At least, I didn’t have to watch the commercials because there was no electricity! LOL
It was a “big deal” when I was allowed to light the kerosene lamps.
well all of you except Bill make me feel old LOL Schoolhouse Rock and all those did not come out until I was getting out of high school and I never ate cereal. I was a spoiled rotten kid Mom cooked eggs and bacon or pancakes……ya know….I rarely watched cartoons either. I was the odd kid always running off to be alone or listen to music. Often I’d go outside and just wonder around exploring…found mice in the creek out back and brought them home to Mama should have seen that woman running LOL and yelling get that thing out of my house. Daddy laughs and says girl you should have been a boy LOL My mama is something else a very demanding and outspoken woman ( my husband gets annoyed and says damn Iroquois women) He asked me once if their was a woman in my family who was not opinionated I said nope…you guys should go to one of my family reunions it gets laughable after a while you’ll see people storming out of the house yelling i can’t believe she just said that….those of us outside just look at each other and say here we go again (that is usually my brother and I outside) my father was a natural peacemaker but once he passed on man alive the wars go on. usally they will try and get my brother and I to chose sides and we just say hey we aren’t in this that’s why we are outside. We just start laughing I mean what can you say it is funny..ya’ll probably don’t think it’s funny but if you knew my family you would…….this last week here on Saponitown reminded me of a family reunion……

Oh, no!! Not kerosene lamps!!! We had those ____ things to heat the house! I HATED THEM!! Barely any heat with a roaring headache to match. I remember being sick during the winter and my grouchy Daddy telling me that he left some kerosene where I could get it to refill it when it was low…
I always let it go out and would sneak out to the living room (if it could be called that) and would turn on the big gas stove. My g-g-grandfather was from South America…it’s funny how stuff gets passed down, i.e. climate preferences.
Collins! We were some suckers for cereal commercials!! I think the dentists and grain product manufactures hooked up at that time and came up with something that changed a whole generation. I begged my mom for some Grape Nuts too. You couldn’t tell me that wasn’t squirrel food and not even a gallon of milk could soften it enough for human consumption–sheeesh!!
Land of the Lost? That was my sister’s fav. My husband and I stay up too late at night gigglin’ over Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, Shazaam!, Super Friends, etc. Can’t tell how many times I’ve had a good laugh over Bugs Bunny/Warner Bro/Looney Tunes lines fitting in with something.
Linda! You spoiled creature!! Well, maybe not because we were spoiled with other stuff besides cereal.
Two stuck-in-the-head songs for this past week:
“We Are Family” and “R-E-S-P-E-C-T”
Guess I must have been spoiled as well..my mom cooked breakfast every day before she went to work…Saturday being no different. But, then again she needed to make sure her workers had fuel in their system to do all the chores required on Saturday….the whole house was cleaned, yard mowed, and laundry done before sitting down to watch t.v. And even though we lived in the city, we had a garden..so there were vegetables to be picked and processed..
Not to say I didn’t catch some ‘toons during a break…..and Schoolhouse Rock……. “I’m just a Bill, an ordinary Bill and I’m waiting here on Capitol Hill”….
Can’t say I would change any of that because my youth taught me to work hard and appreciate what I had….
It was rain drops keep falling on my head!
I wish cartoons,,,!, I was out milking cows every day before school and after!! My days started early and ended late, 4 cows 3 horses, chickens, chores and milk to tend too, before school and after, even christmas day… and to think that I am still lactose intolerant!!
Her is another one that got stuck today.
The old grey mare
She ain’t what she used to be
Ain’t what she used to be
Ain’t what she used to be
The old grey mare
She ain’t what she used to be
She ain’t what — she — used — to — be
The old grey mare
She ain’t what she used to be
Ain’t what she used to be
Ain’t what she used to be
The old grey mare
She ain’t what she used to be
She ain’t what — she — used — to — be
Hey Collins….she may be grey..but, she’s as good once as she ever was…..LOL. (Only her hair dresser knows for sure)
