Monday Music "Junk Food Junkie" By Larry Groce

 

I heard this song on my Sirius/XM on the 70's channel and I thought *Eureka!!!*   Well that is blogspeak for *Aw crap here is another weird idea from the blogger*.  Well anyway I decided to play this on my monday music since I am running 70's songs right now.  Can you feel the shag carpet as you walk to the rabbit ears to adjust the tuning or move the aluminum foil to increase the reception?...Yes Pepperidge Farms Remembers. 

 

I still have this one and a bunch of other "Ronco Records",  I haven't played them in years, because I have them in digital.  One day I will traumatize the kid and break out the records:).  I haven't seen any funny songs released anymore, now all music has to have a message, no more humor I guess.  These songs came from the 60's and 70's, back then we had a sense of humor....now people have thin skins, what does this say about our society.  Well back to the music, I remembered playing these songs and many others over and over again on my little plastic record player until I actually got a decent stereo. 

      Even now if I break out in a lyric, people from my age group and older will sing along...Man what the kids nowadays miss out on.
