ELO -- Mr. Blue Sky -- Volkswagen Listen

Caesars -- Jerk It Out -- Apple (Ipod) Listen

The Turtles -- Happy Together -- Heineken Listen

Good job with getting the links dad. I haven't checked if they all work, but I'm sure they do :)

They work.

I just refuse to believe that Roger knows who Paul Oakenfold and Godsmack are.

Heck, I'm almost too old to know about Paul Oakenfold.

Roger, you ever "Dance all night to this DJ?"

I even own an Oakenfold CD (Tranceport, I think) although my tastes are more to industrial rather than what Oakenfold is doing lately. My daughter might have helped a little with this post (OK she helped a lot). I'm too old for clubs, so, no, no dancing. What is really surprising is that, given the words of the song, the Navy still uses Godsmack as a recruiting tool.

Wow,

I'm impressed, and I stand corrected.

I had the exact same thought about the Godsmack song. The title of the song especially.

What is the message? "Sick of life? Join the Navy."

Wierd.
