This song(and the entire Song Remains the Same album) takes me back to certain moments in time that will never be experienced again. She was 14 going on 30 and i was 16. I was her first too.
30 years ago. Unbelievable.

We kept in "touch" ever so often over the years. She was a drama magnet, battled drug abuse on and off for years and never really recovered from her mother dying in a car accident when she was 15. I hadn't spoken to her in about 8 years when she called me out of the blue one day about a year ago. I didn't answer and let it go to voicemail. She sounded kind of anxious and said she wanted to get a hold of me and to call her. I left it alone and 2 weeks later i found out she died from heart failure or something. She was just 43 yrs old.

RIP Stephanie.

Very poignant. Thanks for sharing that with us. Moving from the west coast to the east coast over 20 years ago, I've lost touch with almost everyone from my youth. Two friends, Joyce in California and Bruce in Michigan, both of whom I've known for over 35 years, stay in touch on a regular basis but everyone else has dropped off the map.

I have two ex-wives that I haven't heard from since the mid-seventies, and for good reason. The songs are like a form of time travel that allows us to relive precious and sometimes painful moments from the past.

This one was released in February of 1984. I had just broken up with my girlfriend because I needed a break from the high drama. So I took up with Alice, who was close to 30 and whose biological clock was going off. She would have married anyone to have babies with, including yours truly. Instead I got back together with my girlfriend later on that year and we've been married for over 30 years now. Life is strange. This song reminds me of that time.

So true. Music is like a time capsule.
On a lighter, sillier note, whenever i smell mothballs(which isn't very often obviously Lol) i'm immediately taken back to memories of my first hot and heavy make out sessions with her in her in her mom's apartment because she(her mom) kept an overwhelming amount of mothballs in the closets. Lmao

Brand new Papal prog rock from Pope Francis. The Pope collaborated with Tony Pagliuca ( member of Italian Prog band Le Orme) on several songs from Pope Francis's new album. I hear influences wide and varied from Van Der Graaf Generator to Saint Thomas Aquinas.

[Selassie I]

Please pay attention to the pronunciation of "Selassie". It is the 2nd word in the song.

I've noticed that none of the members who I've heard actually try and pronounce it... have it right. It is NOT pronounced like the old collie dog hero. LOL

Something all Rams fans know:

So the "Archies" singer, Ron Dante was also the lead singer for this Cuff Links song:



Also--the song "Jingle Jangle"--supposedly sung by Betty or Veronica was actually sung by Dante. (According to Wikipedia).

I used to collect these records as cardboard cutout records on the back of cereal boxes. They actually played.

First post in this thread will be a couple of new songs from the band who has the most appearances on my iPod:

 

[Ramsey]

Pittsburgh, meet the Mob Squad. We will unplug your clock Big Ben- Your time is up!
Camera one closes in, the soundtrack starts, the scene begins...We're playing you now!

Looking around , it looks like Toni Wine sang the female parts on the Archie songs

I remember those cardboard cut out records off the back cereal boxes as well

I've always loved all that Bubblegum pop from the 70's

 

[Mojo Ram]

Nicely done pop song in the 90's IMO. It's got some flavor to it.
