I also seem to remember "special" fun versions of some popular songs. Looked them up. They're all from the 1950's and 1960's, albeit one is a bit late, considering that it probably took some time until they were available at the radio in the middle of nowhere.
- "Que sera, sera" Nam version:
contained the lines
"...will my feet rot,
will I get shot,
that's what they said to me:
Que sera, sera..."
- something with "My Gun" instead of "My Girl"
(the one that feels almost too modern for me)
- "I'm crawlin'" instead of "I'm walking"
I do not remember who performed them. When someone here mentioned a guy playing the guitar and singing, this just came to me...
"I want to hold your hand" might be a song I loved when I was with my girlfriend, Susan. Feels like it.
Wish I could say her sorry for not returning to her as I promised, but I won't go and search for her... she might be still alive, she would be about my mother's age by now, in her seventies... what would I say to her, anyway? Better let her live her life in peace.
