[LeftyFingerPop]

So I'm sittin' here surfing youtube.

I used to "air perform" this song when I was 10 years old! The "chicks" really dug it! I loved this song!

Warning, this will give you an ear worm so bad you will want to stomp the shit out of someone. :rofl:

1. It sounds vaguely familiar.

Love the gator!

[LeftyFingerPop]

18. God I haven't even watched the vid yet!

It's all about the song....THE SONG!!!! :rofl:

[Radio_Lady]

2. What year were you 10 years old? That might help! The alligator is pretty big.

:rofl:

PS. Doesn't sound familiar to me at all.

[LeftyFingerPop]

19. This song reached number 11 on the charts in 1968 I believe...

I was born in 58, and am 49 now. Err....physically. Mentally, I am still 10, and I still love this song!

[CBHagman]

3. We're probably about the same age.

And now that I listen to the lyrics of the song after lo, these many years, it occur to me that back then we didn't use the term "stalker." :rofl:

[LeftyFingerPop]

20. God I know!!

Didn't even notice the lyrics when I was younger, but it is pretty creepy. Also, pretty suggestive in a few spots.

[ChoralScholar]

4. I got nothin'

[LeftyFingerPop]

21. OK...give it a listen!

You will thank me, I promise!

[supernova]

5. I vaguely remember that chorus

cinnamon, let me in!

[LeftyFingerPop]

22. This guy was my boyhood here.

Well, for a few weeks anyway.

I WAS DEREK!!

I WAS THE DEREK!!

[ThomCat]

7. I don't think I've ever heard that song before.

:shrug:

[LeftyFingerPop]

25. Learn to love it Thom.

You will thank me.

When you look up ear worm in the dictionary, there is a picture of this song. :rofl:

[Gormy Cuss]

8. Cinnamon . Let me

[LeftyFingerPop]

26. Just accept it!

Don't fight the Cinnamon! :hi:

[Archae]

9. My older sister had the 45, when I was a kid.

Totally forgot about the song until now.
Thanks for the reminder though!

I still like the tune.

[LeftyFingerPop]

27. I had it too...red and white label!!

wore it out, bought another!

Edit: wait the video shows yellow label and that is right. now I have to figure out that other song I am trying to remember....

[Left Is Write]

[LeftyFingerPop]

28. You just need to...

Now get over here so I's can stomp the shite out of you...

:hi:

[LeftyFingerPop]

29. Oh Gee Thanks....

two simultaneous ear worms. :P :banghead: :hi:

[MorningGlow]

12. Oh yeah of course

I LOVED this song. I was a huge fan of '60s and '70s bubblegum pop, and this one was cutesy enough to fit the mold (highly suggestive lyrics notwithstanding).

...Oh wait. Bubblegum fan. That means I'm old. Damn.
:rofl:

[LeftyFingerPop]

30. You're not old!!

Your probably around the same age as me....oh...wait....:P

[MorningGlow]

39. Eh?

:rofl:

[BlueJazz]

:rofl:

[LeftyFingerPop]

31. oh boy...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

14. I remember it...

Now come a little closer so I can stomp the shit out of you.

[LeftyFingerPop]

32. You remember it?

I'm so so sorry! :rofl:

[Connonym]

15. I knew a girl named Cinnamon when I was kid

I suppose she's still named Cinnamon but I don't know her any more. Her parents musta been damned hippies.

[LeftyFingerPop]

33. Me, myself....

I love the hippies!

Dirty hippies!

Yeah!

[LeftyFingerPop]

16. Thank you for responding everyone.

I would have responded sooner, but I have been listening to this song. After the 29th consecutive listen. I think I had some kind of fit or something. I woke up on the floor, with a headache...with a weird "la la la la la la la la la la la la la" booming in my ears.

[SPKrazy]

17. I remember it

:woohoo:

:bounce: :bounce:


:rofl:

[LeftyFingerPop]

34. I bet that...

you "air performed" it also.

Jesus, I think I even formed a fake band and we did it in front of our class. :rofl:

[Inchworm]

24. I couldnt find the one I don't rem but...

:rofl:

[LeftyFingerPop]

35. Love it!

Thanks inchy! :rofl:

[Lydia Leftcoast]

37. Oh, I remember it

It was a big Top 40 hit during my freshman year in college, along with "Hey, Jude," "I Say a Little Prayer for You," "Harper Valley PTA," "Piece of My Heart," Jimi Hendrix's version of "All Around the Watchtower," and many songs that you HAVEN'T heard of, such as "Oscar Crunch Has Gone to Join the Zoo."

[Bluestar]

38. Yep, I remember it!! n/t

[bmbmd]

40. Then, the tune was co-opted

by Sid and Marty Croft for the theme to the "Bannana Splits" show.....
