Is there a song that just evokes your bird, for you?
There is, for me...
[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G7SEL4zwy8"]Cyndi Lauper "Time After Time" The Tonight Show - March 1st, 1984 - YouTube[/ame]
"Time After Time" came out in 1984... the Rb's hatch year. I was afraid to love him too much. I was so scared that I'd kill him. I was still in college, and bought him on such IMPULSE!
And no internet or PF, of course!
As many of you know, I'm retired now.
34 years later, it's still our song, and always will be.

I posed this in a separate thread, just in case everybody doesn't read the Scrapbook!

PJ always loved Winter Wonderland by Tanya Tucker. He really got wound up when that song came on or we played it on the iPod.
We've been singing the Oscar Meyer Weiner song (we don' know why) to Arika and she seems to take a liking to it. She's only 13 months old so we have plenty more time to see what she likes.

Thanks for starting this thread. Looking forward to some interesting replies.

On a separate note, I REALLY miss Johnny Carson

Hey, Waka... too sweet. Tanya Tucker? A blast from the past!
And can't go wrong with the Oscar Weiner jingle!
This *IS* fun, huh?

Major TOM... seriously! 34 years! It was a different world. Except for the Rb, who is absolutely unchanged and unrepentant.

Chris... Parker rocks. And to such an elegant vintage vibe, too. Doris Day. Matchless.

None. My wife has one too many. Kidding!
This is my special song for my wife's dear Bird. I find that it really captures his gentle, easygoing personality.
