Keeping on the theme of “socials”, it’s time to visit the music or songs that used to play at socials. As I mentioned before, our club mostly slow danced because we were ashamed of our fast-dance dance moves - since we had none. So we heard a lot of slow songs. Some classics, some current (at that time), and some local.

I put together this sloppy clip of 4 slow dance songs that used to play at socials (please excuse the clarity on the first song as that’s the way I received it). So let’s see if you can name the 4 songs in this clip. If you can name the artist too, extra brownie points to you. Post your guess with the songs in the correct order. I’ll tell you how many songs you have correct - but I won’t tell you which ones are correct.

Slow Dances

I’ll be putting together more of these in the days to come as us Midlifers need to keep our brains exercised, right?

Oh, the winner will get nothing. Just the satisfaction on knowing he/she can still remember the old tunes

Do you recall what slow-songs used to play at your socials?

ps. Happy Boy’s Day 

Do you think TV commercials have any influence on it’s audience? Most of us Midlifers were around when cigarette commercials used to play. I still remember a couple of jingles too.

Can you name the cigarette that went with these jingles (hopefully I remembered correctly).

#1
Taste me, taste me,
Come on and taste me,
Take a puff and let me do my stuff.

#2
You’ve come a long way baby,
To get where you got to today,
You’ve got your own cigarette now baby,
You’ve come a long, long way.
