My friend Pat has a challenge on her blog this month to scrap the first song you remember knowing all the words too. For me it was Mr Postman....Of course it's a simple, catchy tune that anyone could sing. So I started investigating in preparation for scrapping this page. I couldnt even remember who sang this. Along the way I found that the song I knew was the 3rd recording of the song, done by the Carpenters...So of course that brought to mind all the other great songs I remember from this awesome duo and the sad story that goes along with it. I had to add couple of their songs to my blog.... Im sure I wont be able to leave them here very long, it makes me feel sad just to hear them. I couldnt find their version of Mr Postman to add to my playlist...So just sing it in your head, like I will be doing today! ETA, Im going to add the Beatles version of the song...The carpenters did it in 1974 when I was in 3rd grade so do the math, you may be like Monica and not remember this!

LOL!!! That's a great post, but I've got to tell you the truth, Lori, I just don't know that song. Guess that's what happens when I hang out with a bunch of old ladies, right? :)
Yeah Monica...We are definitely before your time...Actually the beatles sang the song too, so you would probably recognize it! I may have to add that to my blog.
Monica!!! Old ladies????? LOL!!!
Oh Lori I certainly didn't mean to make you blue.{{{hugs}}}. There are some songs that make me cry every time I hear it.
But I'm glad you are going to do my challenge!!
HUGS to you!!!
(I was only a baby when the Carpenters sang it!)
when I was reading your post I thought of an episode of The Golden Girls (I LOVE taht show), if I'm correct thay were siging a version of that song.
Back in Mexico when i was young I love to listen to The Beatles, but...back then I couldn't understand what they were saying :)
Lori I remember doing a Natalie to all of the Carpenter song, they were one of my favorites. LOL we too old for MOnica.. I had the same feelings when I was doing my page for Pat's challenge and researching the Music my Dad sang.
