Caring parent, or interfering shrew?

Discuss.

" And the operator says, 30 cents more for the next three minutes, PLEEEAAASE Mrs. Adrian , I just want to talk to her, I'll only keep her a while "!!!!!

How did I do? I haven't heard this song in years and I didn't watch the video!!

If it were nowadays she wouldn't have to deal with the shrew , he'd be texting Sylvia!!

You’re close, but if this were the game show Don’t Forget The Lyrics, you lose.

It’s......

And the operator says
"Forty cents more, for the next three minutes"
Please Mrs. Avery, I've just got to talk to her
I'll only keep her a while

OMG !! I always thought it was Mrs Adrian ( or Adrienne) that is really what I thought he was saying when I heard this song, and thought it was a strange last name!

Avery makes more sense !!

But 40 cents back than?? I thought 30 cents was expensive for the groveling guy!!!

Why was he calling from a pay phone ? Did he not have a home phone ? No wonder Mrs. Avery didn't want this deadbeat with her Daughter !!

Or was he calling from the road or something? I will have to listen to this song again!

The Dutch version is pretty cool too

Bonniegirl · 07-10-2019, 01:46 AM

I just listened to this! The original Dr. Hook version ! Now I'm crying ! This song is really sad!

Somehow at 9 years old it didn't seem as sad and emotional as it does listening to it now!!

That is cool and not as heart wrenching !

Nope, I'm not a Dr. Hook fan. The only Dr. Hook song that I find listenable is When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman. It's not a great song by any means, but it's the one Dr. Hook tune that I can listen to till the end and tolerate.

You don't like " On the cover of the Rolling Stone" ? That was a fun, really cool song !!

No, I don't care for that one either. Dr. Hook isn't my cup of tea, aside from the one song I mentioned.

Here is something silly, cool and fun to listen to, from the summer of 1974:

First Billy Don't Be A Hero, now Sylvia's Mother? I think you just hate songs with people's names in the title.

No, it has nothing to do with the titles, those two songs just aren't to my liking.

On the subject of songs with people's names in the title, two I've always liked are "Brother Louie" by The Stories, and "Angie Baby" by Helen Reddy. "Jackie Blue" by Ozark Mountain Daredevils is another good one.

I just talked to her and Sylvia's mother says Brother Louie is good (nothing was better then hot interracial lovin' on the AM dial), but Angie Baby and Jackie Blue are blah.
