"She doesn't rock and roll like she used to/But she probably says the same thing about me." Ha! Love that line. Fun song. I enjoyed it!

Thanks for sharing her present!  Fun song - upbeat, clear mix, bouncy arrangement. Good job on the vocals as well.

Fun lyric.
The chorus melody is similar to Okie from Muskogee but Haggart borrowed that anyway.
The songs a good one but the backing is too quiet.
Cheers

Bob, I'll be 75 in April so I can really appreciate this song  Your "why don't they write songs like that anymore" lyric is exactly what I say! This is not only a fun song it is a lesson is a hit parade of songs. Very well done and now one of my favorite songs.
OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Bob,
I enjoyed your rocking retrospective of the hits... and gradual slide from the dance floor into those armchairs!
Your energetic vocal carries the song( yes, it does sound a little forward of the band).

Fun song!! Love all those references!! I don't rock and roll like I used to either........I roll out of bed wearily in the morning, and I rock back and forth if I have more than one beer. Damn I miss the old days! Enjoyed this very, very much!!! Take care. Greg

Bob,
Fun tune. A nice reel of recollections. Vocals a bit too on top, but overall good mix. Listens well.
Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Very fun song, I enjoyed it a lot. Vocal is not sitting in the mix, but it was still enjoyable. Nice work!

Hi Bob,
You transported me back in time with this one!
Rock 'n' roll never really gets tired. Whenever I listen to a song like this, it always lightens and brightens my mood. You did a great job making it and putting it together. I bet your wife was delighted!
I'm a fan!
All the best,
Noel
