Current Events > Is anyone here a boomer, I need to interview one (rules apply)

(+) Yeah! (+)

RULES:

1. Must have some way to record your voice for a folk song you remember (that can't be pop or a "radio song"), probably will be through vocaroo

2. You need to be asked questions about you and the song

3. Must be born at or before 1950s (or if you have an older person voice that could work too)

It's for a school project and only my teacher will hear it

I'd be shocked if anybody that old is on this board.

I've seen a few people say they were.

You're in luck, whipper snapper. I was born on August 2, 1949. We didn't have fancy internet back then, course all we needed was the Bible for knowledge and an old tree stump for entertainment. I was 14 the day that Mary Sue Douglas changed my life....anyway. What woukd you like to know?

Ok. I'll just post the questions here.

1. What specific song do you recall?

2. Do you remember any specific lyrics to the particular song?

3. What year do you remember hearing the song?

4. What do you remember the circumstances of the song?

5. Where did you learn it?

6. Who did you learn it from?

7. Did this song have a dance or game with it?

Also need you to record a 30 second sample of you singing it.

Ah, my favorite song was actually part of that newest super hero movie you all seemed to really enjoy. Course I don't get it. In my day men were heroes just for going to work and providing for their family. But I must admit that Carry Grant was a swell actor.
Anyway, the song is called "its been a long time"
I heard this song the for the first time at the freshman formal dance. That's where I met up with Mary Sue, you see. I remembered it well because the song says "kiss me once, kiss me twice, kiss me once again" and all I could think of was kissing Mary Sue.
She later took me into the bathroom and gave me a blow job. Course we didn't call them blow jobs back then you see. We called it "speaking into the ol' communist microphone". I could tell she had given quite a few propaganda speeches if you know what I mean.

So here's me singing.

That's not a bad idea either although it's hard for me to go up to a random stranger and ask them stuff like that, especially if you have to record them singing. I guess it'll be worth a try though.
