I figured it out Froderik! It was "Say, Say, Say"
I'll admit it, I actually LOVED this song. I was a wee one when it hit the charts and I used to watch the video at my BFF Dawn's house. They had cable and "MTV" before we did. My God how long ago was THAT?! 1982? 83? 84? 85?
I was SIKED when my dad ordered our cable. A nice lady came to our home and wrote down all the channels we wanted so they could be programed into our box. I got the "Disney Channel" "MTV" and "HBO" . My dad LOVED "HBO" because of the boxing fights and new movies!
You were the shit back in the day if your parents could afford cable or broke down and got cable to shut you up. So began the decade(s) of using a TV to babysit your wee ones.
:em: This is what kids (parents too..) began looking like after they watched their brand new cable shows and channel surfed non stop.
I think EVERYONE lived infront of the TV when their cable was finally installed. No more channels 2-13. One never imagined that something like cable would come around. We were so content with our original 13 channels that we never complained for that something better that did NOT even exsist. YET. Now however if your box goes out or your acct. gets cancelled for X, Y, Z reasons you go through withdrawls until it comes back on.
The TV's made now a days do not even "support" a regular, bunny eared antenna. You need one with an adapter for your cable ready tv set. Even when it is installed you only get a few good channels that play the news and sitcoms in syndicate like "Seinfeld" and "The Steve Harvey" show. You also get the old movies at 8:00 pm.
Then it is yukky infomercials or a religious, bible thumpin made for televison church service program that offers you a special green prayer cloth that will make your dreams come true as long as you pray with it, send it back to be blessed and include a "tithe" of 60.00$ + dollars with it. It is called "Sowing your seeds" actually. Your hard earned 60.00$+ dollars needs to be sent in right away to "show" God and others that you're serious about the things you need help with and/or pray about.
You put the raggedy green cloth under your pillow, pray with it in your hands and sleep with it. That along with the cash will get God to answer your payers!
PHEW! That was took a lot out of me!
Here's the song lyrics in case any of you want to sing along. If you remember this song that means you liked it too! LOL.....
Peace, love and happiness!
I need to go save some poor bunny rabbits from starving and dehydration.
Their owner(s) are crackheads! Not literally but close enough. Assholes.
Say, say, say what you want
but don't play games with my affection
Take, take, take what you need
but don't leave me with no direction
All alone I sit home by the phone waiting for you baby
Through the years how can you stand to hear my pleading for you dear?
You know I'm crying, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Now go, go, go where you want
but don't leave me here forever.
You, you, you stay away
so long girl I see you never
What can I do girl, to get through to you? Cause I love you baby.
Standing here baptised in all my tears, baby through the years,
You know I'm crying, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
You never ever worry and you never shed a tear.
You're saying that my love ain't real
just look at my face, these tears ain't drying.
You, you, you can nvever say
that I'm not the one who really loves you.
I pray, pray, pray ev'ry day
that you'll see things, girl, like I do.
What can I do girl, to get through to you? Cause I love you baby.
Standing here baptised in all my tears, baby through the years,
You know I'm crying, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
