What are you waiting for?
Yesterday, while watching the scroll bar for boomhoarrangs, I noticed a picture that was very familiar - someone had set their default pic as Snoopy, in his WWI flying ace outfit, next to his Sopwith Doghouse. I was carried back briefly to the beginning of the Seventies and the first house my parents ever owned. My mom's father had given us a (then) State-of-the-art Curtis Mathis console stereo, and a component 8-track deck to plug into it. There were several tapes they had bought, one of which was Snoopy And His Friends, by the Royal Guardsmen.
(I now own this album in vinyl form, BTW)
I can remember being 5 years old and listening to that tape over and over and over... I think it broke finally, and my dad did NOT want to replace it... :P
Seeing this fellow's default got me curious to see if there is a video of the band doing the song. GUESS WHAT! =D
I still remember the lyrics to this day! All but the very beginning, but Google helped with that! The song opens with "Achtung! Jetzt wir singen zusammen die Geschichte Über den schweinköpfigen Hund Und den lieben Red Baron!" Which translates (I believe) as "Attention! We're gathered to sing about that pigheaded dog and the beloved Red Baron!"
Just thought I'd share a lil insight into my childhood, which I carry with me always!
Rock on!
