The first time I ever heard it was in 1974 when it was released. I was just a kid. I didn't know what the song was about, but I liked the melody (the first time I heard it). Then it got stuck in my head, as songs sometimes do, so I decided to listen more carefully to the lyrics. OMG, I wanted to go jump off a bridge! Worse, I couldn't get the..."We had joy, we had fun; we had seasons in the sun"...out of my brain. It drove me crazy! Ever after that, as soon as the song would come on the radio, I'd trip over myself to get to the radio and change the station so that damn song wouldn't get stuck in my head again.
Please...GAWD...NOOOoooo!! Anything but that!! "You've got another thing comin'!"...(thump, thump, thump)..."Another one bites the dust!"..."Dude looks like a lady!"....ANY-THING!!
That's funny, and...
I know, I know, but sometimes the most depressing song ever recorded just happens to be a good fit for an internet post. I've pretty much evolved through all the ecstasy garnered via new ears and the great musical explosion of the 70s to I need some new music now because I've worn out all of the old stuff because it's so easily accessible.
Sometimes these things just arbitrarily fall into place, and they do capture moments in time that might be a little newer (and less distressing (in a humorous way)) for someone else.
