Daryl over at out & about in new york city did this meme on her blog on Sunday and it looked like fun, so I decided I would do it as well.
The rules:
1. Link to the person who tagged you and post the rules on your blog.
2. Share 5 songs you are embarrassed to admit to others that you like and tell why.
So, here goes...
"Leader of the Pack" and "Remember (Walking In The Sand)" by The Shangri-Las
I think I was in Jr. High School when these songs were popular. I also bought the 45 for these songs and drove EVERYONE crazy by playing them over & over again.
"Johnny Angel" by Shelley Fabares
I idolized Shellely Fabares because she played the daughter on The Donna Reed Show. I played this song until I actually drove myself nuts.
"A Lover's Concerto" by The Toys
I loved this song and I played it so much that The Prince finally smashed it to smithereens.
Now, I'm not going to *tag* anyone. If you'd like to do this, then just include a link back to me and have fun rolling down Memory Lane.

Popscicles & Icicles by The Murmaids
I was in the 6th grade in Okie City when I first heard this on the radio one night. I bought the 45 record and drove my brother (The Prince) insane by playing it over so much.

"Dedicated To The One I Love" & "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" by The Shirelles
I dreamed about love while I listened to these songs, and I didn't even know what love was, but I also played these over & over, making everyone around me nuts."Johnny Angel" by Shelley Fabares

mamahut: That is so COOL! I was a cocktail waitress in Aspen and met a few folks myself. So, it's not all bad.
I loved 'Leader of the Pack' and 'Johnny Angel' when I was younger. Actually I still do.
