The Rascals

People Got To Be Free

by Felix Cavaliere and Eddie Brigati

All the world over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free
Listen, please listen, that's the way it should be
Peace in the valley, people got to be free
You should see what a lovely, lovely world this'd be
Everyone learns to live together
Seems to me such an easy, easy thing should be
Why can't you and me learn to love one another
All the world over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free (wanna be free)
I can't understand it, so simple to me (it is)
People everywhere just got to be free
If there's a man who is down and needs a helping hand
All it takes is you to understand and to pull him through
Seems to me we got to solve it individually
And I'll do unto you what you do to me
There'll be shoutin' from the mountains on out to sea (out to sea)
No two ways about it, people have to be free (they got to be free)
Ask me my opinion, my opinion will be (ah-ha)
It's a natural situation for a man to be free
Oh, what a feelin's just come over me
It's enough to move a mountain, make a blind man see
Everybody's dancin' [unintelligible]
Peace in the valley, now they want to be free
See that train over there
Now that's the train of freedom
It's about to arrive any minute, now
You know, it's been long, long overdue
Look out 'cause it's comin' right on through [fade]

Opposites Attract - Paula Abdul with The Wild Pair

Holy shit everyone here is young. Except for Atari and Peeyatset Shayst, I remember both jamming to the number ones on the radio, and watching their videos on MTV.

Opposites Attract was the 6th grade dance jam during the spring of that year.

Is the Wild Pair the brains behind "MC Skat Cat?"

I'm by no means old, but I can remember watching some of these videos on MTV clearly. THAT makes me feel old.

Addicted To You by LeVert

who?

IT HURTS!!! IT HURTS!!!

The Beatles were on Life magazine's cover the week I was born. They are pictured in a swimming pool.


I was mistaken...it's actually this one which is from not just the week, but the date of my birth:







Old-timers can search these here:

too bad i'm not at least 34.

Well, it seems as thought Life became a monthly magazine in 1972.

hey canker, your only 16?

Duran Duran -'The Reflex'

:rolleyes:

I AM NOT A CANKER.

Life stopped being produced before I was born.

Time was Israel's Prime Minister during the camp david accords.

Call Me by Blondie....

To Be With You - Mr. Big

Beach Boys - Good Vibrations (UK)

The Supremes - You keep Me Hangin' On (US)

Centrefold - J Geils Band (US)

Kraftwerk - the Model (UK)

Which just goes to show something or other.

John Lennon - Imagine (UK)

John Lennon - (Just Like) Starting Over (US)

This massive coolness schism is painful for me to witness.

Let's see...for me, 13 August 1970:
Carpenters - Close To You

I actually like a few Carpenters tunes, but this is most definitely not one of them.

All the Man That I Need by Whitney Houston

Daaammmnnn and I haven't gotten laid in quite a while now! Where can you find these?

No.1 song on my b.day was "Monkey - George Micheal"

Every Breath You Take - The Police

Good one.

Mariah Carey- Emotions.

i think. i was born the year punk broke. also, the year contemporary christian music broke. woooo.

those are just canker sores, they're not caused by a disease.

Yes they are. Canker Sores are a symptom of mouth herpes.

cancankerous. HAHA GOOD PUN!
**HIGH FIVE!**

Every Breath You Take - The Police

Damn, there are a lot of younger ones here...

I guess I count as one of the older younger ones (24) and I can't remember what it said it was now, some radio-friendly MOR crap, and whats worse is I missed Joan Jett and the Blackhearts' "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" by two fucking weeks!!

Guess it coulda been worse, like "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor...
