Oh come on, you've never heard that song that goes, "I saw the sign, it opened up my eyes I saw the sign"? Haha, finally I get to talk about whippersnappers, lol! That song was everywhere for a while. I don't remember the other two, though, so don't feel too bad. I must've heard the Mariah Carey song before, but it's not ringing any bells right now.

Born in '94, wasn't allowed to listen to popular music til about 2003…didn't discover Zep until 2004. I seriously didn't know anything about modern music or anything. Haha, I still don't know anything about today's popular music! I just looked up that song, and it doesn't sound familiar at all. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean - I didn't really start listening to pop music until 1997, and it took me 'til 2001 to get into Zep, so I wasn't exactly on the pop culture fast track, either. That was a pretty big song, though; for it to have gotten through my lack of musical knowledge was quite a feat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the fact that I sort of liked it bugs me. But then again, I didn't know what was out there, much like many of us who were born after Zep, actually… until we finally came to our senses, that is! The only pop songs I know are the twenty or so that I knew of when I was into pop a little bit. And of course I'd heard some of the super big hits that are unavoidable, but other than that… nothing, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3hrsoflunacy Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Thunderclap Newman were at No.1 on the UK singles chart with the Pete Townshend produced track 'Something In The Air' featured on the soundtrack for the movie, 'The Magic Christian'. The band featured guitarist Jimmy McCulloch who went on to work with Wings. On a better note, a couple of years earlier Jimi Hendrix was honorably discharged from the Army on the same day.

Oh jeez, I know...I hit age 12 right when the Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears got all big...I saw N'Sync in concert for cripe's sake. (where's that head thwack smiley?) That, unfortunately, is where my musical knowledge really began. What horrible timing! Yep, thank god we came to our senses. High five for being cooler than the average Plain White T's fan despite our circumstances! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
