Show Me That SMILE again...!

 Don't waste another minute on your cryin'...

We're Nowhere Near the End!

The best is ready to begin...

As long as we've got each other, we've got the world spinning right in our hands. Baby, you and me! We gotta be... the luckiest Dreamers  who ever  been dreamin'!

------------------

* Boomers will remember B.J. Thomas for "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head", which was just another childish childhood song for GenXers.  Our BJ anthem came when America changed in the Reagan years:  the song above, sung by BJ Thomas, was the Growing Pains tv show theme.

ADDED:
Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
If you remember the fun version of Hooked on a Feeling, starting with the Ooga-Chaka's, you're likely remembering Blue Swede's 1974 cover of the song, not the one by BJ Thomas in 1969. (The Blue Swede version, of course, was better -- the group and the opening sealed it, and you don't need the fresh ears of childhood to hear it today.) Blue Swede took the song to number one, six years after BJ Thomas first charted it topping off at a number five single.
