So, I’m totally going to abuse my power here. BWAHAHAHA! A good friend of mine has been searching for something for a long time and I told her I would TOTALLY hijack this blog and all its readers to help her find it. Also, I was rather cocky and told her that I was sure I could find it. And now its a matter of pride, honour, and stubbornness. Never mind how long I’ve been searching.
First, the story: 16 years ago, my husband and I were a young, goofy, totally in love couple. We would drive around for hours, listening to country music and “just talking”. We had a favourite, and we joked that it was our song. We’re not the “our song” kind of couple, and you’ll see why in a minute. Anyway, our 14 year old daughter was asking us one day if we had a song, and to her amusement and teenage disgust, we started singing it. She asked what it was called. Um… no clue. Well, she said, who sang it? Um… Yeah, don’t know that either. She informs me that we are the only people on the planet who have a song, but don’t know who sings it or what it’s called. So I went hunting. I searched the internet high and low, offered rewards for it and got nothing. Here’s what I can tell you:
1) It was played often during 1993 – 1994. Maybe as early as November 1992. Possibly a bit later.
2) It was a male singer. Not a band, I don’t think.
3) At one point, I thought it was Joe Diffy or Rick Tippe. I’ve looked through their discography. I don’t think so. But I suspect the name is similar to that. Maybe not.
4) I know a big chunk of lyrics. YAY.
We go together like tar and feathers, oh yeah
In that hot summer weather, we stick together the whole day long
… (something I don’t remember)Chorus:
But they don’t see what we have always known
I’m like gum on your shoe, I could not let go of you even if I tried.Your Mama she don’t like me much
She don’t think that I have much finesse.
And your brother he just stares at me
Like a broken branch on the family tree, oh boy
[Chorus]
That’s it. Not bad for 18 years ago, eh?
So here’s the deal – find me an MP3 for $20 to you or your favourite charity. Find me an original CD for $50 to you or your charity.
What do you think, comrades? Can you help?
