Friday Funny February 14, 2025 What I Learned About Love From 70’s Love Songs.

Leave a reply

Happy Friday!  Happy Valentine’s Day!  This is a day when love is celebrated.  As I think back on some of the most popular songs of the 1970’s, it makes me wonder if they were giving very good advice about matters of the heart?

Enjoy!

“Babe” – Styx

“Babe, I’m leaving

I’ll say it once again

And somehow try to smile

I know the feeling

We’re trying to forget

If only for a while”

Love means: I am leaving – deal with it.

“I’d Really Love to See You Tonight”—England Dan & John Ford Coley

“And I was thinking maybe later on

We could get together for a while

It’s been such a long time

And I really do miss your smile

I’m not talking about moving in

And I don’t want to change your life

But there’s a warm wind blowing, the stars are out

And I’d really love to see you tonight”

Love means:  I would like to hang out with you, but don’t expect any real commitment from me.

“I’m Not in Love”—10cc

“I like to see you, but then again

That doesn’t mean you mean that much to me

So if I call you, don’t make a fuss

Don’t tell your friends about the two of us”

Love means:  not much, don’t make a big deal out of it.

“Baby Come Back”—Player

“All day long, I’m wearing a mask of false bravado

Trying to keep up a smile that hides a tear

But as the sun goes down, I get that empty feeling again”

Love means: putting on a good show when your heart is broken.

“More Than a Feeling”—Boston

”So many people have come and gone

Their faces fade as the years go by

Yet I still recall as I wander on

As clear as the sun in the summer sky”

Love means:  memories fade over time.

“On and On”—Stephen Bishop

“Got the sun on my shoulders

And my toes in the sand

Woman’s left me for some other man

Aw, but I don’t care

“I’ll just dream and stay tan

Toss up my heart and see where it lands.”

Love means:  You get hurt so often you stop caring.

“Lonesome Loser”—Little River Band

“Unlucky in love, least that’s what they say

He lost his head and he gambled his heart away

He still keeps searching though there’s nothing left

Staked his heart and lost, now he has to pay the cost”

Love Means: Love is a lot like buying a lottery ticket – the odds are stacked against you.

“The Things That We Do for Love”—10CC

“Too many broken hearts have fallen in the river

Too many lonely souls have drifted out to sea

You lay your bets and then you pay the price

The things we do for love”

Love Means: Love is a lot like buying a lottery ticket – the odds are stacked against you.

“Baby Don’t Get Hooked on Me”—Mac Davis

“Just keep it friendly, girl

Cause I don’t wanna leave

Don’t start clinging to me, girl

Cause I can’t breathe”

Love means: I will hang around as long as it is convenient for me.

“Love Hurts”—Nazareth

“Love hurts, love scars

Love wounds and mars

Any heart

Not tough or strong enough

To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain”

Love means: Love hurts – should probably avoid it

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

The Night Before Christmas In The Digital Age

Leave a reply

It is Christmas Eve, so time for me once again to apologize to Clement Clarke Moore and share my adaptation of his classic for the digital age.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Enjoy!

‘Twas the day before Christmas, when at my house

I was at the computer, moving the mouse;

It was time for another Friday Funny, does anyone care

If in the morning, the email inbox has a funny there?

Two of my boys were still nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of homemade cookies danced in their heads;

While mamma was working, I was off for the day,

It seemed like there was nothing funny for me to say,

When out on the Internet there arose such a clatter,

I sprang to my browser to see what was the matter.

Away to another window I flew like a flash,

Hoping as always that my computer would not crash.

The back-lighting of the monitor produced a glow

Which gave a slight luster to objects below,

As I wondered from web site to web site what should appear,

But a miniature sleigh jpg, complete with reindeer,

With a little driver icon, so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.

More rapid than dsl downloads his cursers they came,

And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;

“Now, Yahoo! now, Google! now, Facebook and Amazon!

On, ebay! on youtube! on, myspace and ask.com!

To the top of the screen! to the top of the wall!

Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!”

As deleted lines that before the backspace button fly,

When they meet with a click, mount to the sky,

So up to the screen-top the cursers they flew,

With a file full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the speaker

The prancing and pawing of each little squeaker.

As I drew in my hand, and was scrolling around,

Downloading an mpeg, St. Nicholas came with a bound.

He was digitally dressed from his head to his foot,

And his clothes were photo-shopped with ashes and soot;

A bundle of toys he had superimposed on his back,

And he looked like a Trojan file just opening his pack.

His eyes — they pulsated! his dimples they grew!

His cheeks had roses painted on them, his nose was blue!

His droll little mouth transfigured to a bow,

And the beard of his chin turned into white snow;

His pipe was a tree stump he held tight in his teeth,

And the smoke wafted up and became a green wreath;

He had a broad face and a little round belly,

That shook, when he laughed and turned into jelly.

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,

And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;

Two winking eyes and a fast spinning head,

Soon gave me to know I had no virus to dread;

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,

He backed up my hard drive; then turned with a jerk,

And laying his finger aside of his nose,

And giving a nod, up the window he rose;

He sprang to his jpg, to his team gave a whistle,

And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

But I heard him exclaim, ere he deleted his cookie from sight,

“Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.”
