I've often remarked about how the very first album I ever owned was an old Ktel album (Ktel was the "Now that's what I call music!" of the 70's). I didn't remember the name of it, but I remember some songs from it. "Rich Girl" by Hall and Oates, which I remember because *gasp* they actually said "bitch" in the song! I always had to make sure my mom never heard that. I remember that Climax Blues Band song "Couldn't get it right." I still love that 10cc song "Things we do for love." And, most of all, I remember that I hated, hated that song "Torn between two lovers." I remember thinking "What the hell is this garbage? This whole album is rocking (remember, I was a kid, so really, I didn't know what "rocking" was), and they throw this crap on here? Ugh!" And I still hate the fact that now, just thinking about that song, it's starting to stick in my head. Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool. Lovin' both of you is breaking all the rules. Gah.
Anyway, so Joelle starts messaging me, linking some old 70's and 80's commercials. Freshen Up Gum. The gum that squirts! Snik Snaks (the "original" Kit Kat). And, she linked a commercial for an old Ktel album. Stars. All original hits. My god, this is the one. This was the very first album I ever owned. This is awesome!
So, sit back and have a laugh at the music that I thought was the greatest music ever. Back when I was a kid.
