AnneNR Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Ya beat me to it, Susie B, I was thinking of American Pie. It was hot when I was in Junior High, and I didn't know until decades later that it was about the death of Buddy Holly. Thanks for including that one! (By the way, was there any other one of this type of song that went longer than American Pie?? Does anyone know of a longer one?)

pretender Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Totally LOVE R.O.C.K. in the USA! And I totally forgot about the MGA in the video! Love MGA's!!! :heartpump: :heartpump: :heartpump: Sorry... everyone knows I'm a classic car junkie. Back in the mid 80s,my best friend had an MGA at the same time I had a Kharmann Ghia. Sadly his MGA got totaled as he was leaving Champaign(after an Elvis Brothers show I believe) by a pickup running a red light. Fortunately Shawn and his girlfriend weren't hurt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
