HAPPY WEEKEND



this was one of my most favorite soft rock songs in the 70's--not kidding. obviously i SO didn't know what the starland vocal band was singing about.....and to think that this was their one and only hit! what a shame~

i remember hearing it playing at the ice cream parlor when i was about 8 years old and telling my dad that it was my favorite song. (true story.)

he just looked at me and blurted out, "only boys get raspberry swirl ice-cream!" and then slowly backed away.

i just stood there, holding my rasberry swirl cone. wondering what could have possibly provoked THAT outburst.


in this video, will ferrell & company really try to do this little gem justice. PLUS, any video that includes squeeze cheese and/or baby kittens is a winner in my book.

Hahahaha! Reminds me of a story: Last year, Ryan passed the receptionist at his job and said, "Bye! I'm going to meet my wife for sushi." And she said, "Oh, is that what you call it?"

I too loved this song!! (and never knew what it meant then)
I would crank it up on the radio and sing to the top of my lungs!

I was the same way - except the song was "Let's Get Physical"

I thought it was about working out.

I dedicated it to my 6th grade boyfriend.
