Send this to your ‘older’ friends, (Better known as Seniors.) It will drive them crazy! And keep them busy and let them forget their aches and pains for a few minutes. Feel free to add any you can think of and send it.
missed about 2 of them. that means im older than dirt.
Same here…I missed two….#12 and 20
Now I am really feelin old guys. I forgot a few – I think 4 of them. Yea, probobly brain damage carry over from the 60`s 😆
Me too the Shadow and Speedy shame on me. LOL
Correction…13 and 20
Yikes! I remembered them All! OMG, I feel Old. LOL
Hubby, didn’t do so well. (We’re the same age) Guess he fried too many brain cells. 😉
WHAT you are feelin` old Angel?, na, you still got your good memory there kiddo 🙂
It can be “foggy” at times. LOL
Wish I could say the same Angel 🙁 Oh well Angel, I guess that that is what I call buying my ticket for myself lol.
I missed #16 & #20 – but it made me laugh, most of them were too easy – which, I guess means I’m old
H*** I am old-73 and I missed only one #13 but by that time I was raising a family and didn’t follow music too much. So not only am I old I’m antique.!!!
Antique maybe, collectable probobly jess 😉
73 for me too. It’s magical.
Missed #1 and 6 (but I remembered that limbo song though, but not the name). My age? 61.
I only missed 2 and I’m 37, that should make some of you older lot feel a little better. Some of us just enjoyed the finer things in life while the past couple of generations seem content with cheap chinese products and instant gratification. Having culture doesn’t make you old, just aged well like a fine wine. 😉
missed 1, 16, 18, 20. Im 33. im the product of reruns and a cool Granny.
🙂 LOL
I missed 8, 10, 13, 16 and 20. I guess I’m middle aged or I have a very shitty memory…lol. Or I just haven’t been around that long.
I tought this would be interesting for all of us. I missed the first part of 10 and 20. Hope it put a smile on everyone’s face. We need the laughter.
😆
