Have you heard the new Kid Rock song "All Summer Long"? I love it. He samples two songs in it "Wherewolves of London" and "Sweet Home Alabama" which seems to just add to the nostalgia of the song.

It totally reminds me of Cindy's thread about her childhood memories from her favorite year.


"All Summer Long"

It was 1989, my thoughts were short my hair was long
Caught somewhere between a boy and man
She was seventeen and she was far from in-between
It was summertime in Northern Michigan
Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahh

Splashing through the sand bar
Talking by the campfire
It's the simple things in life, like when and where
We didn't have no internet
But man I never will forget
The way the moonlight shined upon her hair

[Chorus:]
And we were trying different things
We were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow
Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long

Catching Walleye from the dock
Watching the waves roll off the rocks
She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul
We'd blister in the sun
We couldn't wait for night to come
To hit that sand and play some rock and roll

While we were trying different things
And we were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long

Now nothing seems as strange as when the leaves began to change
Or how we thought those days would never end
Sometimes I'll hear that song and I'll start to sing along
And think man I'd love to see that girl again

[Repeat Chorus x2]

Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long

I'm so glad you mentioned this. I thought I was going nuts because I was sure I heard a little Warren Zevon in there, but then it was Sweet Home Alabama. I thought that I'd heard it wrong. Great song!

He alternates between the two songs. It's really pretty cool how he does it.

Oh, oh! Wait till Nappy finds out that the "Kid" was reading the boards and took off with "her" idea!

By the way....where were in you in 89? You were just 17 then right? (coughing)

Read the lyrics ....this song is about Nappy...right down to the fishing!

Let me assure you, my dear Tarpy, I never did one of those things until well after I was 11.

Thanks Holly, that is soooo coool! I like how he bounces between them too, it's way cool.

I was in Fallon, NV in 1989 dodging F-14s, F-5s and F-18s in my Cessna 172 at the Navy base. Having a great time! In my spare time, I was a paralegal for a civil litigation law firm. But flying was more fun than going to court!

Cool song...thanks! Gotta love it!

89? Man...that was so like...long ago! Where was I? Here. Not here. But here. Same town. Different house. (told you I don't get out much..) Let's see, a nine year old, five year old, DH, and a Dally! Good times, good times!
