Summer isn’t half over. It must be the band quirk. Practice
has begun, and then it will get worse—football!
We were grocery shopping before Laura went to band camp. I
came across the kid who has no use for real music snapping her fingers and
singing to Jerry Lee on the loudspeaker.
“I thought you didn’t know any music like that,” I teased.
“It’s new!”
“It’s not!”
“Well, it’s a new cover!”
“Whose new cover?”
“Well, it has a good beat! We’re playing it this year.”
“Whose version?”
“You know…’nothing in the world like a long haired girl…’”
Too bad the keyboard doesn’t march.
Everything that is old is new again. Except us.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny when they find some "new" music.

ReplyDelete&*>... YAM xx
You'll get her up to speed yet, Joanne :)
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah....Now I can't stop sing this in my mind.
ReplyDeleteThis "new" song.
The old song had nothing like a BIG EYED girl.
ReplyDeleteChantilly Lace... by the Big Bopper, yes?
DeleteLol. The oldies but goodies!
ReplyDeleteYes, what goes around, comes back around... eventually. If it's the same tune as the Big Bopper sang with Chantilly Lace, I'm sure it will be great.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had seen him sing that way back when, but then I'd really be old and I'll just have to watch it on youtube.
ReplyDeleteCute story. At least the younger set is getting introduced to the musicians of yore. That's a great picture of Jerry Lee Lewis.
ReplyDeleteNow there's a song I haven't thought of in decades. I remember I used to like it. A lot of "new" stuff is actually just new bands doing "old" stuff, but the younger set think it's all new, and to them, it is.
ReplyDeleteThe Big Bopper still lives on.
ReplyDeleteEverything old is new again.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me smile to see the kids listening to the music we listened to as teens thinking it's new.
ReplyDeleteMy youngest brother is 15 years younger than me. One day when he was about 12 he came to me excitedly waving a new album he had discovered. It was a new group. They were great and he knew I would like them too. The album was My Generation by The Who. He was all of 3 years old when it came out.
ReplyDeleteI see comments on classic rock songs on youtube all the time that relates the song to a recent movie or video game.
ReplyDeleteDidn't J.L-L. marry a 14 year-old girl?
ReplyDeleteYup.
DeleteIt was also his cousin.
DeleteLove it !
ReplyDeleteFascinating! Had to look him up. In fashion we see the same phenomenon.
ReplyDeleteA wiggle and a walk and a giggle and a talk made the world go round. Ain't nothing in the world. Like a big eyed girl to make me act so funny make me spend my ...

Love this song! I am glad the band is finding ways to play old music in a new way!
