Now me too
1976 just three more years from that date that I had learnt to read at the age of 8 . No shame from my dysfunctional parents. (They were chicken farmers)
Currently listening now to Dirt on my Boots @Jon_Pardi
Zaera was assessed and started school early at 4 as not only is she like really humble but was and still is amazing, currently reading and writing in 4 languages. Wordsalad however, particularly the Frostpacker variety, is beyond her.

…a musical picture.

Just listen and look at the faces.
The white ones.
And the black one.

Focus - Hocus Pocus (1971)
Urban myth has it that if you play this one in reverse 666 times at full volume, the Police will come and invite you to stop doing it.

I love when you put that smile on your face
It takes away my heartache

Shirley & Company - Shame, shame, shame (1975)
This is widely regarded as the first disco hit to reach nº1 in the general charts.
Bonus: also singer Shirley Goodman, 19 years earlier…
Shirley & Lee - Let the good times roll (1956)
It performed quite well for a blues song and became a staple of genre compilations

A favourite from the 80s…
…and now, for something completely different…
…a musical tale in 3 videos.
Starting with the end, this was the video that made everything big…
Nicolai Fuglsig et al. for Sony - Sony Bravia LCD TV “Colour like no other” aka “Bouncy Balls” advertisement (2005)
Now, the music soundtrack to this TV advertisement was a lovely tune, and even in the early days of the internet this song was widely successful and 580 million replays later it literally changed the life to its perfomer, Swedish singer José González…
José González - Heartbeats (2003)
BUT, this was not a original theme, rather an acoustic cover from a previous electronica song by Swedish band The Knife…
The Knife - Hearbeats (2002)
…which is awesome on its own and now you know of it.
Bonus: you will never be as cool as your (grand)parents skateboarding downhill and not giving a f of safety.
