So riding the school bus in Oregon....you were cool if you could sing along....for some reason our parentst never gave us radios for our rooms, but there was a family record player...Why I don't know...parents did not buy musice...anyhow these are the two 45rpms....because they were slow enough to write down the words, easy to memorize, more of a story....but it did not increase my coolness...both were just silly, far out songs...that few teens in angst could relate.
