4. I heard it for the first time when I was about nine years old,

on one of my dad's albums. When I asked Dad what the song meant, he said, "Ask your mom." :rofl: :spray:

[SPKrazy]

8. Ask Your Mom!

:P :rofl:

10. It didn't strike me as an ironic answer

until much, much later. :rofl: :spray:

2. That song always reminds me of one of my cousins.

He always wanted to learn to play the guitar so he could play that song, and he finally did!

This lead to the "Garage Band" my family had, composed of my dad, my uncle, two cousins, me, my sister Kathy, and my brothers Dwain and Robert. Don't know if we were very good, but we had a hell of a good time!

3. And Of Course Your Other Brother!

man

that's cool!

5. It was an absolute blast!

My dad was a real country music fan (the GOOD country stuff like Johnny Cash), so we did lots of that. Gad, I miss that.

7. You Could Start A Garage Band

create a new sound from Seattle!

16. It wouldn't be the same.

My dad passed away 30 years ago; my cousin who learned to play guitar passed away about 20 years ago. Nah, I prefer to listen to the memories.

19. I Get That

memories are precious

hang on to them

:thumbsup:

6. It's really sort of haunting, isn't it?

I love Eric Burdon's voice. :thumbsup:

[Heidi]

13. I think Eric Burdon, David Clayton Thomas and Van Morrison

have the three sexiest voices of that generation, _by far_. :thumbsup:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

"Mothers, tell your children not to do what I have done"

15. I was one-year-old when that song came out,

but I think the Animals' version is absolutely timeless. :thumbsup:
