Yeah - I'm still married.
If you mean the trip,yes,we made it home.
 
About 1974,I was in Santa Maria,CA,& almost out of cash.My Dad gave me
his Flying A gas credit card "just in case".
Turned out that they had shut down all their gas stations,& the card was expired.
I made it home (again),using my Denny's free coffee cards that I'd been given.

I wish I had a car that ran on coffee. 😂 Though coffee is waaay more expensive than gas.

Many many moons ago I went to a friend's cottage at Alonquin Park. I don't remember the exact details but I had to get to Barry's Bay to get to the bank before they closed at 3PM to have money to purchase gas. (As they did in those days before ATMs.) A very spirited drive in my father's Econoline Van got me there at three minutes till. All went fine after that. Got home and was telling my father, and his response; 'why didn't you use the esso card in the glove box?' Um because you never told me there was an esso card in the glove box. sheesh.
 
Karen Carpenter - voice like pure silver. Ella Fitzgerald - can sing anything. KD Lang - great voice. Billy Holliday = unique.
 
Goin' to the opposite side of the original intent, one of the most memorable, but not necessarily a favorite, the Paul Williams tune by The Carpenters "We've Only Just Begun" rockets me back to being a newly minted USAF "mosquito-wing" Airman, just married and traveling solo from home in Beaver County, PA, to my first assignment at Langley, VA, in my '66 MGB. The song was one running on a cassette player I'd installed under the passenger seat, along with other of the popular tunes of the day. Trepidation and optimism in equal measure, leaving the home town environs to work for Uncle doing what I knew to do best. And find a place where my new wife and I could call our home.
 
I'll take Slim Whitman, "Indian Love Call," for the win.
 
Anything John Lennon did with Yoko on backing vocals! It’s like when you run over the cat’s tail with a rocking chair! :oops:

actually heard it on the radio today and thought to myself 'Ooo one more for the thread' :ROFLMAO: Which also brings me to another Richard - Richard Harris - McArthur Park.

What's the matter? Is Barry too smarmy for you? LOL

Muskrat Love by Captain and Tennille - There was a synth solo in the middle of the song and my old girlfriend once said it reminded her of the sound of diarrhea. From then on that's all I heard every time the song came on.

Oh, and just about everything by Bread, Captain and Tennille, and the Carpenters. Talk about smarmy!
 
Any song that gets put into a drug commercial.

Ask your doctor if ******** is right for you. 🤬
 
Things that will get a fast stab on the mute button or station change are songs that go on about how great it is to be in love or stuff like that - I don't need a reminders of being lonely I can just find the nearest mirror.

On the other side of the equation, I'm more likely to be a fan of songs that are musically interesting (repeat 3 chords over and over and I'm now bored) and if they also have lyrics that teach or describe something meaningful than even more so.
